About this project

What does Keep Head Names add?

Keep Head Names

Player heads keep their custom names and lore tags after being placed down and picked up again.
This is an unofficial fix for MC-174496, which was finally fixed in 1.20.5!

  • for Minecraft 1.16-1.20.4 (and 1.20.5 to upgrade your worlds one last time, see the changelog)
  • works server-only

Note:
If you still want lore and other custom data to be kept in 1.21+, check out the datapack continuation of this mod, Keep Head Data.
