Authentic Player Skulls

💀 Authentic Player Skulls

Authentic Player Skulls is a lightweight, server-friendly Forge mod that adds realistic, non-forgeable player skull drops upon death. Designed for SMPs, Anarchy, and Survival servers, it preserves true player identities and skins while completely preventing anvil forgery!

✨ Features:

🏷️ Non-Forgeable Skulls: Players cannot rename normal heads in an Anvil to fake someone else’s skull. Authenticity is 100% protected!

🎭 Full Skin Support (Online & Offline):

  – Online Mode: Automatically fetches skins for official Mojang / Microsoft accounts.

  – Offline Mode (SkinChanger Integration): Fully supports offline servers via the SkinChanger mod (listed in Relations). If a player has a custom offline skin, their skull will display it properly!

  – Fallback System: If no skin is found, it safely drops a named Skeleton Skull without crashing.

🎁 EXP Reward System: Right-click a skull to claim EXP based on the victim’s experience level. (Rewards are claimable once per skull while keeping the head intact as a trophy!).

📜 Death Lore Tooltip: Hover over any dropped skull to view the exact date, time, and cause of death (or the killer’s name).

🔊 Impact Sound & Effects: Features a powerful anvil impact sound (block.anvil.land) and smoke particles upon death.

⚙️ Fully Configurable: Easily customize PvP-only drop rules, drop chances, death broadcast messages, and blacklist specific players/admins.
