Heads
Collect mob and player heads.
Overview
Heads are one of the best decoration blocks in the game, and HellHold makes a lot more of them obtainable. There are two sources:
- Mob heads — mobs can drop their head when you kill them, and there is a full collection to work through.
- Player heads — a player's head drops when they die, a fun trophy or keepsake.
Each has its own page in this book.
Mob Heads
Almost every mob can drop its own head when killed. Hang them on walls, build statues, theme a trophy room, or just collect the full set.
Getting mob heads
- Kill a mob and its head has a chance to drop.
- Using a Looting sword improves your odds, so a Looting III blade is the way to go if you are hunting for a specific head.
- Some rarer mobs have lower drop rates — persistence pays off.
The head collection
There is a collection to complete as you gather heads, with advancements that tick off as you find each one. Check your advancements screen to see which heads you are still missing — it doubles as a checklist for completionists.
Mob heads make brilliant detailing: mob-themed farms, hunter's lodges, or a wall of every head you have collected.
Player Heads
When a player dies, their head drops — a fun trophy from a duel, or a keepsake of a friend.
How it works
- A player's head drops every time they die (PvP, mobs, fall damage — any death).
- The head is named after the player, so you always know whose it is.
- Pick it up reasonably promptly — like any dropped item, a head left on the ground will eventually despawn.
What to do with them
- Mount a friend's head on your wall.
- Keep a trophy from a memorable PvP win.
- Use them as decorative blocks in builds, just like mob heads.
Player heads show the player's real skin, so they make great signposts and decoration around shared bases and spawn.
