Description from the author on Hangar

Overview

HeadsPlus is Spigot's most ambitious heads plugin out there, achieving what other plugins have not, and picking up on the smallest details that developers have never thought of before to make one of Minecraft's most valuable items - skulls - bring a whole new world to servers.

The plugin was originally created to replace another heads plugin of which was no longer updated and thus wouldn't work on newer versions - except now, HeadsPlus has brought classic concepts to life again with more interesting and exciting additions, is constantly updated with more exciting features and has an active and committed developer.

Features

  • Retrieval of player/custom heads via three different commands: /head, /heads and /myhead.
  • A head blacklist/whitelist of which stops players placing heads that belong to specific players - these heads being considered inappropriate.
  • Entities can drop their head upon death; and is 99% configurable!*
  • A crafting feature, letting you craft heads from shapeless recipes - often consisting of an empty skull and a specific material - or shaped recipes that are completely configurable and incredibly flexible.
  • The majority of messages in the plugin are completely configurable.
  • A heads selector (/heads) - PLEASE note this is not a database!**
  • The ability to sell heads with fully configurable prices.*
  • Three different leaderboards for the hunting, selling and crafting skills to compare player scores of others!
  • Hundreds of challenges pre-built into the plugin, all with configurable rewards!
  • 1.15.2 to 1.18 support.
  • A debugging mechanic to help identify the causes of errors easier when reporting an issue.
  • The ability to "pick" up heads using the "pick block" button.
  • Masks, of which when worn apply potion effects of your choice!
  • MySQL support for storing leaderboard data.
  • A leveling system, which is also 100% configurable.

\* Multiple textures, display names, chances, lores, mask effects/amplifiers and "interact names" - of which are used when clicking on a head - are configurable.
\\ HeadsPlus is not an extensive or advanced database plugin. This has caused a lot of misunderstanding about it and has led to users of the plugin comparing this to other premium plugins, bullying people into making said plugins free - that is not the aim of this plugin. Only a limited range of heads are available (around 200), however, you can add your own. Rather than compare this plugin to the premium ones, why don't you just go and buy that plugin instead, or find an alternate one?
\\\* This will require Vault to work.

Reporting Issues

Like every other plugin, HeadsPlus is not a perfectly coded plugin. Since starting my new year in school, I have no longer had time to put quantity over quality, and now make sure to extensively test each feature before it is released as a new version.

How to install HeadsPlus

  1. Make sure your server runs Paper and Spigot on Minecraft 1.16 – 1.21.

  2. Download the .jar file from Hangar and put it in the plugins folder of your server.

  3. Restart the server. Avoid /reload, many plugins do not handle it well.

  4. Type /plugins in the console: HeadsPlus should be listed in green. Its config files are created in the plugins folder on the first start.
