Please help in the expansion or creation of this article by expanding or improving it. The talk page may contain suggestions.
Note:
  • Fix the Raid Captain Renders with true banner position (The banner should be higher and show part of the pole).
  • Add Illager Chest, Threat banner and Mystery banner renders to gallery.

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.

Kelsey Howard on minecraft.net[1]

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.

Spawning

Behavior

Raid captains behave like normal illagers, attacking with its axe,[2] 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.

A '''poisonous potato''' is a type of [[potato]] that can [[poison]] the [[player]].

== Obtaining ==

The poisonous potato is a rare [[drop]] when harvesting (destroying) [[potato|potato crops]]; a fully grown plant has a 2% chance of dropping one in addition to the 2-5 regular potatoes.

=== Chest loot ===

{{LootChestItem|poisonous-potato}}

== Usage ==
Poisonous potatoes cannot be planted on [[farmland]] or [[Baked Potato|baked]]. They also have no use with the [[composter]].<ref>{{bug|MC-142373|resolution=WAI}}</ref>

=== Food ===
{{see also|Tutorials/Hunger management|title1=Hunger management}}
To eat a poisonous potato, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|2}} [[hunger]] and 1.2 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]] and has a 60% chance of applying 5 seconds of [[Poison]] II, draining {{hp|4|poisoned=1}} points of [[health]].
Interestingly, a poisonous potato actually restores double the hunger and saturation than a normal, unpoisoned potato. (A normal potato gives {{hunger|1}} hunger and 0.6 saturation points.)

A '''head''' or '''skull''' is a [[block]] modeled after the head of a specific [[entity]]. 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.

===Enchantments===

Mob heads can receive the following enchantments, but only through an [[anvil]].
{| class="wikitable col-2-center col-3-right"

|}

=== 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 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. Full list of accounts I've made: http://pastebin.com/5mug6EBu|December 9, 2014}}</ref>
