Head

A head or skull is a block modeled after the head of a specific entity.

Variants[edit | edit source]

There are seven types of heads:

Obtaining[edit | edit source]

Mob loot[edit | edit source]

The following heads drops when the corresponding mob gets killed by a charged creeper's explosion:

• Skeleton Skull
• Zombie Head
• Creeper Head
• Piglin Head
• Wither Skeleton Skull

If several mobs are killed by the explosion of a single charged creeper, only one random mob drops its head.‌^{[Java Edition only]}

A wither skeleton sometimes drops a Wither Skeleton Skull when killed.

Natural generation[edit | edit source]

• Skeleton Skulls generate as part of ancient cities.
• A single Dragon Head generates at the front of end ships.

Player head[edit | edit source]

The Player Head is unobtainable in Survival.

Usage[edit | edit source]

Decoration[edit | edit source]

Heads can be oriented in 16 different directions on top of a block, and 4 directions on the sides of blocks, similar to signs. They can be placed on top of, or beside each other by shift clicking.

When placed and powered by redstone, the piglin and dragon heads play an animation. The piglin head flaps its ears (2 times per second for the right ear and 2.5 times per second for the left ear) while the dragon head opens and closes its mouth repeatedly (2 times per second). The same animation occurs when worn by a (horizontally) moving player, zombie, skeleton, or armor stand (note: the animation does not play if the NoGravity tag is set to 1)

Wearing[edit | edit source]

The player can wear heads, similarly to pumpkins or helmets. This overlays the second layer of the player's skin.

Wearing the corresponding head reduces the detection range for skeletons (but not wither skeletons), creepers, zombies, and piglins to 50% of the normal range. This is similar to (and stacks with) the reductions in detection range from sneaking and from the Invisibility status effect.

In Bedrock Edition, wearing any head makes the player invisible to other players on a locator map.

Dispensers[edit | edit source]

A dispenser can equip a head on a player, mob, or armor stand with an empty helmet slot, within the block the dispenser is facing.

Dispensers can summon a wither when placing wither skeleton skulls on soul sand.

Crafting ingredient[edit | edit source]

Name	Ingredients	Crafting recipe
Creeper Charge Banner Pattern	Paper + Creeper Head
Skull Charge Banner Pattern	Paper + Wither Skeleton Skull
Firework Star	Any Head + Gunpowder + Any Dye

Enchantments[edit | edit source]

Heads can receive the following enchantments, but only through an anvil.

Name	Max level	Method
Curse of Binding	I	Anvil
Curse of Vanishing	I	Anvil

Note blocks[edit | edit source]

Placing a head above a note block causes the note block to play the corresponding mob's ambient sound when activated. The only exception is the creeper head; as creepers don't make ambient sounds, the note block plays the primed (hissing) sound instead.

The block below the note block does not affect the mob sound it creates.

History[edit | edit source]

For a more in-depth breakdown of changes to textures and models, including a set of renders for each state combination, see /Asset history

Java Edition
August 28, 2012							Jeb released images of the skeleton head, hinting of more types to come.
PAX 2012							At PAX, Dinnerbone revealed that there would be rare drops of these mobs.[1]
1.4.2			12w36a				Added skeleton, wither skeleton, zombie, player, and creeper heads.
							Wither skeleton skulls are rarely dropped by the wither skeleton upon death (2.5% chance), while the other four are obtainable only from the creative inventory.
			12w37a				Changed item textures.
							Added as a hidden and disabled feature, player heads can now have the skin of a specific player. A line in the language file implies that there either used to be, or in a future update, the possibility of obtaining a specific player's head.[2]
							Player heads do not drop in vanilla, but mapmakers/modders/etc. can make them by adding an NBT string tag {"SkullOwner":"player_name"} on the skull items.[3]
November 7, 2012							Jeb states that the official opinion is that "[dropping] player heads [on player kills] are a bit too gory for Minecraft, so it's better suited for a plugin or mod."
1.4.6			12w49a				Any kind of mob head can now be used to craft a firework star with creeper-face effect.

							Creeper heads and wither skeleton skulls are now used in crafting specific banner patterns.
			14w30b				A single charged creeper explosion no longer yields more than one head. The head that drops is chosen randomly.

							Dragon heads are currently available only in creative mode.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

• Heads do not have their own textures and take their textures from other objects.
• When breaking any head, the particle effect of breaking it is the same as soul sand.
• Despite there being a default Steve head, heads for the other protagonist skins cannot be obtained without using custom names.
• In Bedrock Edition, the skull variant for the item is stored under the damage component, normally used for items with durability.
