🎮 How to Play

For players:
Enchant a sword or axe in an enchanting table. There is a chance (default 15%) that the item will receive Headhunter. The more XP levels you spend, the higher the max enchantment level (I–III).

When you kill another player with a Headhunter weapon, their head may drop – chance depends on enchantment level (default 5% + 5% per level).

❓ FAQ ❓ Do players see the enchantment in the enchanting table preview? No, only vanilla enchants are shown. After enchanting, the item will have a lore line “Headhunter I/II/III”.

❓ Can I combine Headhunter books in an anvil? In the current version, combining works by transferring the enchantment from an item. Full anvil support can be added upon request.

❓ Does it conflict with other enchantments? No, Headhunter does not conflict with any vanilla enchantment.

❓ Why does a head sometimes drop without a skin? On offline-mode servers, the skin is loaded from cache if the player joined at least once with online-mode enabled. If no skin exists, the head will show a blank face but the owner name will be correct.

🔪 Good luck!
