Head

Heads are decorative blocks. There are five variants of heads: skeleton, Wither skeleton, zombie, human and Creeper.

Use
The main use of heads is as decoration. They can be oriented in 16 different directions and can also be placed inside item frames.

Wither skeleton heads are essential for spawning a Wither. To do so, place 4 Soul Sand in a T-shape, then place three wither skeleton heads on top.

The player can also wear heads as hats, similarly to pumpkins. However, this will only replace the main layer of the player's skin. This means that if the player has a second layer over their head, it will render over the head.

Trivia

 * The particle effect of breaking one of these blocks is the same as Soul Sand.
 * It's only seems to drop when killed by the player.
