Heads can be oriented in 16 different directions on top of a block, and 4 directions on the sides of blocks, similar to [[Minecraft:sign]]s. 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 <code>NoGravity</code> tag is set to 1).

The player can wear heads, similarly to [[Minecraft:carved pumpkin]]s or [[Minecraft:helmet]]s. This overlays the second layer of the player's [[Minecraft:skin]].


Wearing the corresponding head reduces the detection range for skeletons (but not wither skeletons), creepers, [[Minecraft:zombie]]s, and [[Minecraft:piglin]]s to 50% of the normal range. This is similar to (and stacks with) the reductions in detection range from sneaking and from the [[Minecraft:Invisibility]] status effect.

Wearing any head hides the player's waypoint on the locator bar. {{IN|bedrock}}, wearing any head makes the player invisible to other players on a locator [[Minecraft:map]].

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

Template:For

File:All The Heads.png
All heads and skulls.

Heads (including skulls) are a group of 7 Minecraft:blocks based on the heads of Minecraft:players and 6 different Minecraft:mobs. All heads can be Minecraft:worn as Minecraft:helmets and serve as special Minecraft:note block instruments.

Variants

There are seven types of entity heads:

Obtaining

Mob loot

The following heads drop when the corresponding mob is killed by a Minecraft:charged creeper's explosion:

Minecraft:Dragon heads and Minecraft:player heads have corresponding mobs, but they don't drop when these mobs are killed by a charged creeper.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

If multiple mobs are killed by the explosion of a single charged creeper, only one head will drop from a mob randomly chosen from those killed in this explosion.Template:Only

A Minecraft:wither skeleton sometimes drops a wither skeleton skull when killed.

Natural generation

Player head

The Template:ItemLink is unobtainable in Minecraft:Survival, and can be obtained only by the Minecraft:Creative inventory, using Template:Control or executing Minecraft:commands.

Usage

Heads can be destroyed by Minecraft:fluids.

Decoration

Heads can be oriented in 16 different directions on top of a block, and 4 directions on the sides of blocks, similar to Minecraft: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 Minecraft:armor stand (note: the animation does not play if the NoGravity tag is set to 1).

Wearing

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

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

Wearing any head hides the player's waypoint on the Minecraft:locator bar. Template:IN, wearing any head makes the player invisible to other players on a locator Minecraft:map.

Dispensers

A Minecraft: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 place wither skeleton skulls to complete the construction of a wither unless the Minecraft:difficulty is set to peaceful.

Crafting ingredient

Template:Crafting usage Template:Crafting

Enchantments

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

Name Max level Method
Minecraft:Curse of Binding I Template:BlockLink
Minecraft:Curse of Vanishing I Template:BlockLink

Note blocks

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

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