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.
