Head Name Fix
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
This is a server-side mod that will save the names of renamed mob/player heads that are placed down, just like chests or banners do in vanilla (Fixes MC-174496 for pre-1.20.5 versions, and fixes MC-270918 for 1.20.5-1.21.8).
Partially fixed (for player heads only) in vanilla 1.20.5
Fully fixed for all other mob heads in vanilla 1.21.9.
This mod will no longer recieve updates for newer versions
