Advanced Configuration¶

Per-Entity Type Drop Rates¶

In the configuration, if a section called drop-rates: is created inside the configuration, you can set custom drop rates per specific entities. This is done by having the entities name in a String, followed by the chance. For example, PIG: 0.5, would give a pig a 50% chance to drop a head.

For example:

drop-rates:
  PIG: 0.5
  COW: 0.1

Custom Mob Heads/Extra Mob Heads¶

In the configuration, if a section called custom-mob-skins: is created inside the configuration, you can set custom skins to be used for certain mobs, allowing you to change a mobs skin.. Or add your own mob heads. This is done by having the entities name in a String, followed by the player name you wish it to use the skin of. For example, PIG: “me4502”, would give a pig Me4502’s head.

For example:

custom-mob-skins:
  PIG: "ironshotgun2"
  COW: "wizjany"
  SLIME: "md_5"
