How to Get a Mob Head

Using the Give Command

Launch Minecraft PC and select “Create New World” at the main menu. Cheat mode must be enabled so you can enter commands during Minecraft gameplay. Cheats cannot be enabled after creating a Minecraft world.

Select “World Options,” then select “Allow Cheats.”

Confirm “Allow Cheats” is set to “ON.”

Play Minecraft as you normally would, then proceed with step #5 when you’re ready to obtain a mob head.

Enter the following command using Command Block: /give @p 397 3 {SkullOwner:"MHF_"}. Replace “amount” with the number of mob heads you want, and replace “mob name” with the name of the mob whose head you want. For example, if you want 12 Zombie mob heads, enter the following line of code: /give @p 397 12 3 {SkullOwner:”MHF_Zombie”}.

Press “Enter” on your keyboard. The mob heads will now be added to your inventory.

Using Charged Creepers

Obtain one or more charged creepers. A charged creeper is created when lightning strikes within three or four blocks of a normal creeper, and surrounds the creeper with blue light. Creepers naturally spawn in the Overworld on solid blocks that have a light level of seven or less, and become charged after being struck by lightning in the game. Wait for lightning to strike the creepers, or position the creepers at a high point near water to improve your odds of having them struck by lightning. Alternately, install a custom Minecraft mod that provides you with ready-made charged creepers.

Release the charged creeper near the mob whose head you want. The force of the explosion will cause the mob to drop its own head.

Head over to the mob head and add the item to your character’s inventory.
