Mob heads can be oriented in 16 different directions on top of a block, and 4 directions on the sides of blocks, similar to signs. If an ender dragon or a player is killed by a charged creeper, it does not drop its head. In Bedrock Edition, if multiple mobs are killed by the same charged creeper, all of them drop their heads, however in Java Edition only one mob selected at random drops its head. 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 Edition, the chance is increased by 2% per level of Looting, for a maximum of 8.5% with Looting III. The chance is increased by 1% per level of Looting, for a maximum of 5.5% with Looting III.

When destroyed by an explosion, the head always drops as an item.ĭragon heads generate on end ships found in end cities. If a head is pushed by a piston or comes in contact with water or lava, it breaks off as an item. A mob head can be mined using any item, and drops itself when broken.
