Talk:Head

According to this Reddit thread where someone else claims to own it. Anomie x (talk) 00:45, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

That is helpful to know, though I don't think it was ever added to our list. A note to prevent it from being added in the future cannot hurt though. –KnightMiner ^t/_c 00:56, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, that was my intention. Anomie x (talk) 11:01, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

I looked up "minecraft enderman head" and found a page that mentioned apple heads. It worked (/give), but it doesn't mention it on this page. That makes me think: maybe there's more? I even found a cat one on my own that has a Santa hat (MHF_Cat). EDIT: I also just remembered that the page mentioning apple heads also mentioned dirt (and other blocks) heads –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.60.80.171 (talk) at 17:39, 29 December 2015 (UTC).

Is there a way to give each player their own head?

--MCweb 02:20, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

The data values section here is bad or out-of-date, and to fix it properly I'll have to dig around, maybe tomorrow. The command that gets your own head is:

/give @p skull 1 3 {SkullOwner:YourUserName}

Each getting their own, I'm not sure.

That works fine in versions up to 1.12.2, but no more in 1.13 due to change in syntax of /give in 17w45a. Should that be mentioned in the page? –Erufailon4 (talk) 16:02, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

If strings were included in 1.13's execute store functionality, this would be possible.

--MCweb 22:12, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

I found the following Heads also work but they could just be players MHF_Shulker MHF_Witch MHF_Wolf MHF_Guardian MHF_Rabbit MHF_Endermite MHF_Wither MHF_Enderdragon MHF_SnowGolem MHF_Llama MHF_Stray MHF_Wither(MHF_WitherBoss was a players head and not legit) It would be great if someone could verify if they are legit or not.–Preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.46.105.220 (talk) at 5 October 2016 (UTC).

Can someone add that in 0.16 of PE you can make the wither with wither skeleton skulls? I would like to do it myself, but I'm not an expert at editing tables. Thanks!

--SamGamgee55 (talk) 22:46, 2 November 2016 (UTC)SamGamgee55

Thanks, yeah, I put it on this page, and on the soul sand page. – Sealbudsman ^talk/_contr 03:26, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

What does the signature tag do? How many textures can a head have? Can it have textures but not a UUID? Is the value tag still a base64-encoded image URL?

--MCweb 01:25, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

There are apparently two contradictions. Number one:

 Mob heads can be broken using anything, and will drop itself when broken.
 [...]
 Dragon heads generate on end ships.

So dragon heads can be obtained from end ships, but there is also the following statement:

 dragon heads cannot be obtained as drops.

You can absolutely acquire the dragon heads used as figureheads at the bow of End ships in v1.12.2. I can imagine that the statement which denies it was meant for killing Ender dragons, but this is not clearly expressed. I don't know if it's actually true or false.

Number two:

 Player heads [...] cannot be obtained as drops.

But it is also said that:

 If a player head has a custom skin, the skin will be preserved when broken.

If there are no player head drops, why would the skin matter? Is something missing here about a game rule, server setting or mod required for player head drops? —Codemanx (talk) 13:36, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Player and dragon heads are never dropped when players or ender dragons are killed. They can be obtained by other means (commands or naturally generated in the world, for dragon heads), so the information about their behavior as blocks is relevant. -- Orthotope^talk 21:32, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Page does not mention how one can obtain a Player Head in survival without cheats or commands. If it's intended to be obtainable via commands only, then the page should definitely mention this. MestreLion (talk) 12:52, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

I tried to /give MHF_CoconutB on BE (Nintendo Switch) and it keeps running into syntax errors. Can someone change the official heads to be Bedrock-friendly? —71.220.202.145 19:58, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Perhaps read the notice on the top of that section... Bedrock has no heads from players (only the default player head), so no MHF heads either. FVbico (talk) 20:01, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

In 1.16 the minecraft changed so that the UUID is now stored as an int array instead of as a string. This was changed in the data format, but the history section doesn't reflect this.

The Jukebox article states the following in its trivia section:

• C418 has the Steve skin with a jukebox for a head, likely because it was he who made most of the music for Minecraft.
  • Therefore, his head may be used as the MHF equivalent of the Jukebox.

So, should this be added to the "Mojang skins" section? It's not actually a part of the MHF collection, so... yeah. --Leo40Twitch (talk) 10:58, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

MHF_Piglin's and MHF_Hoglin's heads are not mentioned but available in Minecraft 1.16.

MHF_Slime has a new skin but the image for its head on the wiki still has the old skin's head. Someone should update it. --Arthur10123 (talk) 16:13, 23 April 2021 (Brazil time)

I found these heads myself, if you want proof, then use the commands! Stop reverting other people's hard work, because they spent enough time on true information! If you do that one more time then I'm reporting you! – Unsigned comment added by ThanoSmellBad (talk • contribs) at 21:41, 8 July 2021 (UTC). Sign comments with ~~~~

Shouting will not help. Please read the wiki rules and also use references from these sources where applicable. BDJP ^(t|c) 21:44, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

dragon head can be obtained in survival, pls fix that I I99 (talk) 20:40, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Where does it say that it can't be obtained? "Renewable" does not mean "obtainable". See Renewable resource. --Melwin22 (talk) 20:43, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

ok sorry I I99 (talk) 21:00, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Do we really need a DropsTable in Piglin? They drop 1 fixed item, unaffected by looting.

Also, a charged creeper explosion can't be given looting anyways. Zombie, Skeleton, Creeper, and Wither Skeleton should not have their heads / skulls listed in DropsTables.
