Minecraft Dungeons:Raid Captain

This article is about the new mini boss that appears randomly in locations. For the illager mob that controls the Colossal Rampart, see MCD:Rampart Captain. For the Illager captain of the patrol or raid in the original game, see Raid captain.

Raid Captain
Behavior	Hostile
Natural equipment	Axe (Armored Vindicator Raid Captain) Crossbow (Armored Pillager Raid Captain)

“	Of course, there’s also plenty of free content and updates alongside the DLC release! Not only are there new enchantments, but there is also a brand-new feature called Raid Captains. Raid Captains are friendly tour guides that... wait, that’s not right. They’re super challenging new enemies that will change the way you play the game. That makes a lot more sense. Seek out Raid Captains where they lurk in the hidden corners of the world to add a new level of challenge (and new treasures) to your missions.	„

A raid captain is a powerful mob in Minecraft Dungeons. They spawn in locations as a powerful mob such that when defeated, the mission has negative modifiers or a higher threat level, but the rewards throughout the mission are better. They are the most common type of powerful mob in Minecraft Dungeons.

Appearance

Raid captains can either be a a diamond armored pillager, or a diamond armored vindicator, and that carries an ominous banner on its back.

Behavior

Raid captains behave like normal illagers, attacking with its axe, or shooting the hero with its crossbow. However, they deal increased damage and knockback. Raid captains only spawn within missions that have already been completed once, but not on all. Depending on the situation, there can be one to six raid captains in missions. They spawn with a group of illagers or illager allies around them, such as vindicators, armored vindicators, geomancers, pillagers, armored pillagers, mountaineers, armored mountaineers, wind callers, enchanters, royal guards, iceologers, and witches or alone, like in the patrols of the base game.

Drops

When defeated, they drop one of two banners, either threat or mystery. Threat portrays the Bad Omen icon and Mystery portrays a skull, and when picked up, the game is enhanced with modifiers (e.g. enemies have boost). At the end of the level, an extra item is given in addition to the artifact chest. Also, the chance for it to be unique exponentially increases for every Raid Captain defeated after the first.

If all six raid captains have been defeated inside of a daily trial on Apocalypse + 25, the highest power level items in the game can be collected from the raid captain chest.

The chance of dropping a bow is increased by 1% per level of [[Looting]], allowing up to an 11.5% chance of dropping. The chance of being enchanted depends on the [[difficulty]], whether it is normal or hard. The enchantment level is equal to enchant level 5-22. Bows of [[skeleton trap]]s are always enchanted at level 5 to 23. The exact level depends on [[regional difficulty]], as on Easy it is always a level-5 enchantment. ==== Illusioners ==== {{exclusive|java|section=1}} [[Illusioner]]s have an 8.5% chance of dropping an unenchanted bow when killed by the player. The chance of dropping a bow is increased by 1% per level of Looting, allowing up to an 11.5% chance of dropping. === Trading === Apprentice-level fletcher [[villager]]s sell bows for 2 [[emerald]]s as part of their [[trading|trade]]s. Expert-level fletcher villagers sell enchanted bows for 7–21 emeralds as part of their trades. The enchantment level is equal to enchant level 5–19. === Fishing === Bows have a chance of being caught by [[fishing]]. When caught, the bow may be damaged and contain random [[enchantment]]s equivalent to a level 30 enchantment from an [[enchanting table]], including treasure enchantments like [[Mending]]. === Repairing === {{Grinding |showdescription=1 |ingredients=2x Damaged [[Bow]] |Damaged Bow |Damaged Bow |Bow |description=The durability of the two bows is added together, plus an extra 5% durability. }} {{Crafting |Damaged Bow |Damaged Bow |Output=Bow |type=Combat |ignoreusage=1 }} == Usage == === Weapon === [[File:Steve aiming with Bow.png|150px|right]] [[File:Alex aiming with Bow.png|150px|right]] Bows can be drawn back by {{control|using}} them. In order to use a bow, the player must have at least one [[arrow]] in their [[inventory]] or be in [[Creative]] mode. The arrow that is shown inside the bow always looks like a regular arrow, regardless of what kind of arrow is actually being shot from the bow.<ref>{{bug|MC-87685||Drawn bow texture does not reflect arrow that will be shot|WF}}</ref> When drawing a bow, the display zooms in slightly. Charging the bow to its maximum causes it to visually shake as an indicator. Releasing the button shoots an [[arrow]]. Drawing a bow can be canceled by switching to another hotbar slot while holding use. While the bow is being charged or remains fully charged, the player is forced to move at [[sneaking]] speed, unless they are riding a [[horse]], [[minecart]] or [[boat]], or flying with [[elytra]]. It is not possible to [[Sprinting|sprint]] while charging a bow or holding a drawn bow. When the bow is released, normal motion resumes although any prior sprint is cancelled. Sneaking while drawing the bow makes the player move even slower. If an arrow hits another player, the player that shoots the arrow hears a high-pitched "ding" sound.{{only|je}} Fully charged shots launch critical arrows which have a trail of [[particles]] behind them and deal up to <math display="inline">\left ( \frac{3x}{2} \right ) + 2</math>damage, where <math>x</math>is the damage after any enchantments. The listed values below describe maximum damage from a bow with no [[Power]] enchantments, assuming the target is at a distance where drag and gravity are negligible. However, the critical damage is likely to be more around 8-10; critical damage is added at a random value between <math>x</math>and <math display="inline">\left ( \frac{3x}{2} \right ) + 2</math> and it is rare to have minimum or maximum values. The damage dealt can ultimately be less than the maximum damage if the arrow slows down after being shot. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" data-description="Shot base damage by changing time" |- ! Charging time ! Maximum attack damage |- |{{ItemSprite|Bow|text= '''0.1 s'''}} (no charge) |{{hp|1}} |- |{{ItemSprite|Bow|text= '''0.2–0.9 s'''}} (medium charge) |{{hp|5}} |- |{{ItemSprite|Bow|text= '''1+ s'''}} (full charge) |{{hp|6}} |- |{{ItemSprite|Bow|text= '''1+ s'''}} (critical) |{{hp|11}} |- |} The game stores the damage of arrows even in values with a decimal point. For example, it is possible for a critical arrow shot to cause damage values such as 6.4. In this cases of a broken value, the game can round up or down and store the amount for subsequent damage sources. Any projectile thrown by the player is under the influence of momentum in current versions of ''Minecraft''. Naturally, the player's movement speed can be modified under a number of circumstances, affecting the ballistic trajectory of projectiles, and as a result, the damage inflicted by arrows. In [[Java Edition Combat Tests]], to avoid sniping, arrows shot from fully-charged bows become non-critical if held drawn back for longer than three seconds. Instantaneous effects on tipped arrows are scaled by 1/8, just like the duration of other effects. For example, Instant Damage I arrow will deal an additional {{hp|0.75}} magical damage. Damage caused by the arrow is not affected by the [[Strength]] effect. [[Endermen]] cannot be shot using an arrow, because the arrow either disappears as the enderman teleports, or it gets deflected. Even while immobile, the enderman is immune to damage from arrows. However, an arrow shot from a bow enchanted with [[Flame]] can ignite the enderman. === Crafting ingredient === {{crafting usage|Bow, Damaged Bow}} === Enchantments === Bows can receive several different [[enchantment]]s and have a base enchantability of 1. Bow enchantments have no effect on [[arrow]] speed or the distance it travels. In [[Bedrock Edition]], if a bow is enchanted with any level 1 enchantment, it always gets Power I.{{verify|This used to be in the trivia section. Not valid in Java Edition.}} {| class="wikitable col-3-center" |+ !Name !Summary !Max Level |- |[[Power]] |Increases the damage dealt by bow-shot arrows. |V |- |[[Punch]] |Increases the knockback dealt by bow-shot arrows. |II |- |[[Flame]] |Ignites arrows, dealing fire damage to anyone hit as well as igniting TNT and campfires. |I |- |[[Infinity]]<ref group=n name=exclusive>Mending and Infinity are mutually exclusive.</ref> |Stops the bow from consuming arrows when shot.

Its vertical speed is modified by one block downward every second, resulting in a {{w|Parabola|parabolic}} flight path. An arrow slows down if shot through water, reducing its damage to near zero unless brought back into the air or otherwise given momentum.{{Only|Java}} Arrows that hit solid [[blocks]] become stuck and can be retrieved, unless the arrow was shot by a bow [[enchant]]ed with [[Infinity]], a player in Creative mode, or a mob. An arrow shot through [[lava]] ignites, giving it the effect of the [[Flame]] enchantment, igniting any entity it hits. If not extinguished, the fire inflicts up to {{hp|4}} damage. Although a [[wither skeleton]] does not spawn naturally with bows, if it holds a bow then it also shoots flaming arrows. On impact, an arrow can trigger a wooden [[pressure plate]], [[target]] block, [[wooden button]], or [[tripwire]]. Arrows cannot trigger stone pressure plates or stone buttons. The player can choose the type of arrow to shoot based on its location in the inventory. Arrows in the off-hand, or the selected hotbar slot if the bow is in the off-hand, are prioritized first. If there are no arrows in the off-hand or selected hotbar slot then the arrow closest to [[Inventory#Slots|slot 0]] is selected. == Sounds == {{edition|java}}: {{Sound table |sound=Arrow hit1.ogg |sound2=Arrow hit2.ogg |sound3=Arrow hit3.ogg |sound4=Arrow hit4.ogg |subtitle=Arrow hits |source=neutral |description=When an arrow impacts something |id=entity.arrow.hit |translationkey=subtitles.entity.arrow.hit |volume=1.0 |pitch={{frac|12|11}}-{{frac|4|3}} |distance=16}} {{Sound table |sound=Bow shoot.ogg |subtitle=Arrow fired |source=player |description=When a bow shoots an arrow |id=entity.arrow.shoot |translationkey=subtitles.entity.arrow.shoot |volume=1.0 |pitch={{frac|4|3}}-1.125 <ref group=sound>Depends on how long the bow has been charging. uncharged bows give {{frac|5|6}}-0.625</ref> |distance=16}} {{Sound table |sound=Succesfull Hit.ogg |subtitle=Player hit |source=player |description=When an arrow shot by a player hits another player |id=entity.arrow.hit_player |translationkey=subtitles.entity.arrow.hit_player |volume=0.18 |pitch=0.45 |distance=16}} {{Sound table |sound=Random break.ogg |subtitle=Item breaks |source=player |description=When a bow's durability is exhausted |id=entity.item.break |translationkey=subtitles.entity.item.break |volume=0.8 |pitch=0.8-1.2 |distance=16 |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{Sound table |type=bedrock |sound=Arrow hit1.ogg |sound2=Arrow hit2.ogg |sound3=Arrow hit3.ogg |sound4=Arrow hit4.ogg |source=player |description=When an arrow impacts something |id=random.bowhit |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.09-1.3}} {{Sound table |sound=Bow shoot.ogg |source=player |description=When a bow shoots an arrow |id=random.bow |volume=1.0 |pitch=0.83-1.25}} {{Sound table |sound=Random break.ogg |source=player |description=When a bow's durability is exhausted |id=random.break |volume=1.0 |pitch=0.9 |foot=1}} == Data values == === ID === {{edition|java}}: {{ID table |edition=java |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Bow |spritetype=item |nameid=bow |form=item |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{ID table |edition=bedrock |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |notshowbeitemforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Bow |spritetype=item |nameid=bow |id=300 |form=item |foot=1}} == Achievements == {{load achievements|Sniper Duel;Archer;Dispense with this;Bullseye}} == Advancements == {{load advancements|Take Aim;Sniper Duel;Bullseye}} == Video == <div style="text-align:center">{{yt|orNlaO12EQg}}</div> == History == {{History|java classic}} {{History||June 14, 2009|link=https://notch.tumblr.com/post/123343045/my-vision-for-survival|[[Notch]] discussed how bows and [[arrow]]s would work in [[Survival]] mode: "Bows and arrows can be made out of wood.

There are seven types of heads: [[player]] ([[Steve]]'s head by default), [[zombie]], [[skeleton]], [[wither skeleton]], [[creeper]], [[piglin]], and [[dragon]]. == Obtaining == === Breaking === A mob head can be mined using any item,<ref>{{bug|MC-192905||Heads & Skulls have no assigned tool}}</ref> and drops itself when broken. {{breaking row|horizontal=1|Mob Head|sprite=Heads}} If a head is pushed by a [[piston]] or comes in contact with [[water]] or [[lava]], it breaks off as an [[item (entity)|item]]. When destroyed by an [[explosion]], the head ''always'' drops as an item. ===Natural generation=== Dragon heads generate on [[end ships]] found in [[End City|end cities]]. Skeleton skulls can generate in [[ancient cities]], which sometimes generate in the [[deep dark]]. === Mob loot === A [[wither skeleton]] has a 2.5% chance of dropping a wither skeleton skull when killed by a player or a tamed [[wolf]]. The chance is increased by 1% per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 5.5% with Looting III. {{IN|bedrock}}, the chance is increased by 2% per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 8.5% with Looting III. [[Skeleton]], [[wither skeleton]], [[zombie]], [[creeper]] and [[piglin]] heads are always dropped by the respective mob if it dies due to a [[charged creeper]]'s explosion. {{IN|bedrock}}, if multiple mobs are killed by the same charged creeper, all of them drop their heads, however {{in|java}} only one mob selected at random drops its head.<ref>{{bug|MC-63534|||WAI}}</ref> If an [[ender dragon]] or a [[player]] is killed by a charged creeper, it does not drop its head.<ref name=":0">{{bug|MC-132933|||WAI}}</ref> ==Usage == ===Decoration=== Mob heads can be oriented in 16 different directions on top of a block, and 4 directions on the sides of blocks, similar to [[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 plays 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) === Wearing === {{See also|#Renders}} The player can wear heads, similarly to [[pumpkin]]s or helmets. This overlays the second layer of the player's [[skin]]. ====Disguise==== Wearing the corresponding mob head reduces the detection range for [[skeleton]]s (but not [[wither skeleton]]s), [[creeper]]s, [[zombie]]s, and [[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 [[Invisibility]] status effect. {{IN|bedrock}}, wearing any mob head or carved pumpkin makes the player invisible to other players on a locator [[map]]. === Withers=== {{FakeImage|{{BlockGrid|scale=2|w=Wither Skeleton Skull|s=Soul Sand|www|sss| s }}|Wither build configuration}} [[Wither]]s can be spawned by placing soul sand or soul soil in a T shape, and putting 3 wither skeleton skulls on top of the T. The T can be horizontal or vertical. The last block placed must be one of the three wither skeleton skulls. A dispenser can also create a wither, by placing the final skull onto soul sand directly in front of and below it. ===Dispensers=== A [[dispenser]] can equip a mob head on a player, mob, or armor stand with an empty helmet slot, within the block the dispenser is facing. [[Dispenser]]s can also complete the construction of a wither. === Crafting ingredient=== {{crafting usage|Wither Skeleton Skull,Creeper Head|continue=1}} {{Crafting |ignoreusage=1 |ingredients=Any '''Mob head''' +<br>[[Gunpowder]] +<br>Any [[Dye]] |Gunpowder |Wither Skeleton Skull;Skeleton Skull;Zombie Head;Head;Creeper Head;Dragon Head;Player Head |Matching Dye |Output= Matching Firework Star |description=Forms Creeper shape |foot=1 }} ===Enchantments=== Mob heads can receive the following enchantments, but only through an [[anvil]]. {| class="wikitable col-2-center col-3-right" |+ !Name !Max Level ![[Enchanting|Method]] |- |[[Curse of Binding]] |I |{{Inventory slot|Anvil}} |- |[[Curse of Vanishing]] |I |{{Inventory slot|Anvil}} |- |} === Note blocks === 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. The block below the note block does not affect the mob sound it creates. ==Player skins== {{exclusive|java|section=1}} Human heads have an extra usage for map makers, they can be given [[Chunk format#Entity Format|NBT data]] so that they appear with the skin of any ''Minecraft'' account. This means if a player knows that a specific account has a head that is desired to display, the NBT data can be edited to make it appear. The command to give the player a head with the skin of another player is {{cmd|give @s minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:"<''PlayerName''>"} }}. Commonly, this kind of head is called a custom head. Another command to give the player a head with another player's skin is {{cmd|give @s minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:{Id:"<''PlayerUUID''>",Properties:{textures:[{Value:"<''SkinURL''>"}]} } } }}. ''SkinURL'' is a string encoded in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64 Base64] containing the URL of the player's skin.<ref>Example: {"textures":{"SKIN":{"url":"<nowiki>http://textures.minecraft.net/texture/292009a4925b58f02c77dadc3ecef07ea4c7472f64e0fdc32ce5522489362680"}}}</ref> A player head saves the skin of the player from the time it was created, meaning if the player changes their skin, the head still displays the original texture.<ref>{{tweet|Dinnerbone|464414369452142592|Skulls are a snapshot of the skin as it was made; just change your skin, make a skull, and change your skin back. That's intended behaviour.|May 8, 2014}}</ref> This kind of head is generally called a custom head. Note that it is therefore necessary to be connected to the internet to load the texture of a skin, whatever the property used. When they are loaded for the first time by the client, the skins textures are cached in {{code|[[.minecraft]]\assets\skins\(subfolders)\(files)}}. If the client does not have access to the internet when it first loads, the player's head displays a regular head (Steve's skin) which is also cached. Afterwards, even if the client reconnects to the internet, in order to display the skin correctly, it is necessary to clear the cache manually by deleting the recently created files in {{code|[[.minecraft]]\assets\skins\(subfolder)}}, then restarting the game. ===Marc's Head Format === [[File:Allmobheads.png|thumb|right|Most of the MHF mob heads provided.]] {{exclusive|Java|section=1}} [[Marc Watson]] created a number of accounts with specific skins so map makers could use common heads without the risk of someone changing their skins.<ref>{{reddit|1m0itx/twitter_marc_irl_mapmakers_would_it_be_useful|cc4m1cq|I'm here to make it so that people don't have to worry about having a consistent account whose skin might change.|Marc_IRL|September 9, 2013}}</ref> Nowadays, since heads do not update the skin if a player changes their skin, this is not something map-makers need to worry about, though these skins are still useful. These accounts have names in the format <code>MHF_<''Name''></code>, for example <code>MHF_PigZombie</code> is the name of a ''Minecraft'' user with a [[zombified piglin]] head. MHF stands for "Marc's Head Format".<ref>{{tweet|Marc_IRL|377453670410891264|head format. I needed to pick a prefix that was short and not already taken by other usernames.|September 10, 2013}}</ref> There are also a few blocks and "bonus" heads, for more variety. These player heads have not been updated in compliance with the [[Texture Update]], and are outdated. Because these are names of player accounts, these heads are obtained or placed using the <code>SkullOwner</code> tag, for instance: {{cmd|/give @s minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:"MHF_''<Name>''"}<nowiki />}}. The following names/heads have been made available:<ref>{{tweet|Marc_IRL|542330244473311232|For those following the MHF list, I have presents for you.

1.9.3.0 {{Extension DPL}}<ul><li>[[Tool|Tool]]<br/>{{About|the in-game items|program enhancing software|Programs and Editors}} A '''tool''' is an [[item]] used by the [[player]] while held to perform actions faster and more efficiently, to gather materials not obtainable by hand, to gain information, or to perform completely new actions. With the exception of the [[clock]], [[compass]], empty [[bucket]], and [[lead]], tools do not stack in the inventory. Tools can be repaired; see [[Item repair]]. == Obtaining == === Mob loot === {{main|Drops#Mob drops|title1=Drops}} Some tools can be obtained by killing mobs that carry the equipment. === Crafting === Most tools can be obtained through crafting. {{:Crafting/Tools}} === Upgrading === [[Netherite]] tools can be obtained only through upgrading. {{Smithing |head=1 |Netherite Upgrade |Diamond Pickaxe; Diamond Axe; Diamond Shovel; Diamond Hoe |Netherite Ingot |Netherite Pickaxe; Netherite Axe; Netherite Shovel; Netherite Hoe }} == Usage == === Best tools === {{main|Breaking#Best tools|title1=Breaking}} Many blocks have a preferred tool to break them. Some blocks can be broken only with certain tools. The tool's material also affects how fast a block is mined. Materials from worst to best in terms of mining speed are wooden, stone, iron, diamond, netherite, gold. === Item durability === {{main|Durability}} Different tools have different amounts of durability. Some uses require more durability to be used than others. A tool's durability is also affected by its material. Materials from worst to best in terms of durability are gold, wooden, stone, iron, diamond, netherite. Some tools are not block-breaking tools: This includes bows, fishing rods, carrots on sticks, flint & steel, and buckets. Such tools are no better than bare fists at breaking blocks, but they do not take damage from doing so—they take damage from being used in their own intended manners. === Item enchantability === Materials from worst to best in terms of [[enchantability]] are stone, diamond, iron, wooden/netherite, gold. === Smelting === {{main|Smelting}} Iron or golden tools can be smelted into [[nugget]]s. {{Smelting|showname=1|head=1|Any iron tools|Iron Nugget|0,1}} {{Smelting|showname=1|foot=1|Any golden tools|Gold Nugget|0,1}} ; Fuel * Wooden tools can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1 item per tool. * A [[fishing rod]] can be used as fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1.5{{only|java|short=1}}/1{{only|bedrock|short=1}} items per fishing rod. == History == {{info needed section|earlier Java Edition history between Indev and 1.3.1|section=10}} {{History|java indev}} {{History||0.31|snap=20091231-2|Added iron shovels.}} {{History|||snap=20100110|Added iron axes and pickaxes.}} {{History|||snap=20100128|Added wooden, stone, and diamond tools.}} {{History|||snap=20100129|Added crafting recipes for wooden, stone, iron, and diamond tools.}} {{History|||snap=20100130|Added golden tools.}} {{History|||snap=20100131|A [[Tiers|tier system]] for wooden, stone, iron, diamond, and gold tools is added.

There are seven types of heads: [[player]] ([[Steve]]'s head by default), [[zombie]], [[skeleton]], [[wither skeleton]], [[creeper]], [[piglin]], and [[dragon]]. == Obtaining == === Breaking === A mob head can be mined using any item,<ref>{{bug|MC-192905||Heads & Skulls have no assigned tool}}</ref> and drops itself when broken. {{breaking row|horizontal=1|Mob Head|sprite=Heads}} If a head is pushed by a [[piston]] or comes in contact with [[water]] or [[lava]], it breaks off as an [[item (entity)|item]]. When destroyed by an [[explosion]], the head ''always'' drops as an item. ===Natural generation=== Dragon heads generate on [[end ships]] found in [[End City|end cities]]. Skeleton skulls can generate in [[ancient cities]], which sometimes generate in the [[deep dark]]. === Mob loot === A [[wither skeleton]] has a 2.5% chance of dropping a wither skeleton skull when killed by a player or a tamed [[wolf]]. The chance is increased by 1% per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 5.5% with Looting III. {{IN|bedrock}}, the chance is increased by 2% per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 8.5% with Looting III. [[Skeleton]], [[wither skeleton]], [[zombie]], [[creeper]] and [[piglin]] heads are always dropped by the respective mob if it dies due to a [[charged creeper]]'s explosion. {{IN|bedrock}}, if multiple mobs are killed by the same charged creeper, all of them drop their heads, however {{in|java}} only one mob selected at random drops its head.<ref>{{bug|MC-63534|||WAI}}</ref> If an [[ender dragon]] or a [[player]] is killed by a charged creeper, it does not drop its head.<ref name=":0">{{bug|MC-132933|||WAI}}</ref> ==Usage == ===Decoration=== Mob heads can be oriented in 16 different directions on top of a block, and 4 directions on the sides of blocks, similar to [[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 plays 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) === Wearing === {{See also|#Renders}} The player can wear heads, similarly to [[pumpkin]]s or helmets. This overlays the second layer of the player's [[skin]]. ====Disguise==== Wearing the corresponding mob head reduces the detection range for [[skeleton]]s (but not [[wither skeleton]]s), [[creeper]]s, [[zombie]]s, and [[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 [[Invisibility]] status effect. {{IN|bedrock}}, wearing any mob head or carved pumpkin makes the player invisible to other players on a locator [[map]]. === Withers=== {{FakeImage|{{BlockGrid|scale=2|w=Wither Skeleton Skull|s=Soul Sand|www|sss| s }}|Wither build configuration}} [[Wither]]s can be spawned by placing soul sand or soul soil in a T shape, and putting 3 wither skeleton skulls on top of the T. The T can be horizontal or vertical. The last block placed must be one of the three wither skeleton skulls. A dispenser can also create a wither, by placing the final skull onto soul sand directly in front of and below it. ===Dispensers=== A [[dispenser]] can equip a mob head on a player, mob, or armor stand with an empty helmet slot, within the block the dispenser is facing. [[Dispenser]]s can also complete the construction of a wither. === Crafting ingredient=== {{crafting usage|Wither Skeleton Skull,Creeper Head|continue=1}} {{Crafting |ignoreusage=1 |ingredients=Any '''Mob head''' +<br>[[Gunpowder]] +<br>Any [[Dye]] |Gunpowder |Wither Skeleton Skull;Skeleton Skull;Zombie Head;Head;Creeper Head;Dragon Head;Player Head |Matching Dye |Output= Matching Firework Star |description=Forms Creeper shape |foot=1 }} ===Enchantments=== Mob heads can receive the following enchantments, but only through an [[anvil]]. {| class="wikitable col-2-center col-3-right" |+ !Name !Max Level ![[Enchanting|Method]] |- |[[Curse of Binding]] |I |{{Inventory slot|Anvil}} |- |[[Curse of Vanishing]] |I |{{Inventory slot|Anvil}} |- |} === Note blocks === 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. The block below the note block does not affect the mob sound it creates. ==Player skins== {{exclusive|java|section=1}} Human heads have an extra usage for map makers, they can be given [[Chunk format#Entity Format|NBT data]] so that they appear with the skin of any ''Minecraft'' account. This means if a player knows that a specific account has a head that is desired to display, the NBT data can be edited to make it appear. The command to give the player a head with the skin of another player is {{cmd|give @s minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:"<''PlayerName''>"} }}. Commonly, this kind of head is called a custom head. Another command to give the player a head with another player's skin is {{cmd|give @s minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:{Id:"<''PlayerUUID''>",Properties:{textures:[{Value:"<''SkinURL''>"}]} } } }}. ''SkinURL'' is a string encoded in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64 Base64] containing the URL of the player's skin.<ref>Example: {"textures":{"SKIN":{"url":"<nowiki>http://textures.minecraft.net/texture/292009a4925b58f02c77dadc3ecef07ea4c7472f64e0fdc32ce5522489362680"}}}</ref> A player head saves the skin of the player from the time it was created, meaning if the player changes their skin, the head still displays the original texture.<ref>{{tweet|Dinnerbone|464414369452142592|Skulls are a snapshot of the skin as it was made; just change your skin, make a skull, and change your skin back. That's intended behaviour.|May 8, 2014}}</ref> This kind of head is generally called a custom head. Note that it is therefore necessary to be connected to the internet to load the texture of a skin, whatever the property used. When they are loaded for the first time by the client, the skins textures are cached in {{code|[[.minecraft]]\assets\skins\(subfolders)\(files)}}. If the client does not have access to the internet when it first loads, the player's head displays a regular head (Steve's skin) which is also cached. Afterwards, even if the client reconnects to the internet, in order to display the skin correctly, it is necessary to clear the cache manually by deleting the recently created files in {{code|[[.minecraft]]\assets\skins\(subfolder)}}, then restarting the game. ===Marc's Head Format === [[File:Allmobheads.png|thumb|right|Most of the MHF mob heads provided.]] {{exclusive|Java|section=1}} [[Marc Watson]] created a number of accounts with specific skins so map makers could use common heads without the risk of someone changing their skins.<ref>{{reddit|1m0itx/twitter_marc_irl_mapmakers_would_it_be_useful|cc4m1cq|I'm here to make it so that people don't have to worry about having a consistent account whose skin might change.|Marc_IRL|September 9, 2013}}</ref> Nowadays, since heads do not update the skin if a player changes their skin, this is not something map-makers need to worry about, though these skins are still useful. These accounts have names in the format <code>MHF_<''Name''></code>, for example <code>MHF_PigZombie</code> is the name of a ''Minecraft'' user with a [[zombified piglin]] head. MHF stands for "Marc's Head Format".<ref>{{tweet|Marc_IRL|377453670410891264|head format. I needed to pick a prefix that was short and not already taken by other usernames.|September 10, 2013}}</ref> There are also a few blocks and "bonus" heads, for more variety. These player heads have not been updated in compliance with the [[Texture Update]], and are outdated. Because these are names of player accounts, these heads are obtained or placed using the <code>SkullOwner</code> tag, for instance: {{cmd|/give @s minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:"MHF_''<Name>''"}<nowiki />}}.
