This plugin adds a feature where player heads drop upon death. It also includes a unique weapon—a katana—which has slightly better stats than a Netherite sword and a rather difficult crafting recipe; it can also be obtained using the command /headdrop katana.
If you don't want to use it, use /headdrop craft off.
config:
only-pvp: true
- Drop the head only when killed by another player (PvP). If false, the head will drop upon any player death.
drop-chance: 0
- Base percentage chance (0–100) of a head dropping. Ignored if the killer used a katana or is holding one in their inventory—in that case, the chance is always 100%.
notify-killer: true
- Show the message to the killer in the chat
craft-enabled: true
- Is katana crafting at a workbench enabled? (Can be toggled on the fly: /headdrop craft on|off) Crafting recipe (3x3):
[Creeper Head] [Diamond Block] [Piglin Head]
[Diamond Block] [Netherite Sword] [Diamond Block]
[Skeleton Skull] [Diamond Block] [Wither Skeleton Skull]
