NeonHeads (NeonMobs)

Transform ordinary mob encounters into engaging RPG drops with customized helmet abilities.

NeonHeads (built natively on our internal NeonMobs engine) brings expansive ability systems mapping directly onto over 50 native Minecraft entities. Upon killing mobs—ranging from Zombies to Wardens—players have a chance to secure their Head. Equipping these heads provides continuous passive stat effects, and interacting dynamically grants massive shift-click abilities balanced with server-friendly cooldowns.

Premium Plugin

NeonHeads is a premium plugin by NeonStudios. Ensure your license key is installed inside config.yml. Purchase info: Discord or BuiltByBit.

Why NeonHeads?

Elevate your SMP, Factions, or Survival server with a brand-new chase item economy.

💀

50+ Supported Mobs

Every hostile, neutral, and boss entity has a mapped ability index built-in directly to the base.

⚙️

Active & Passive Dualities

Simply wearing the head can grant passive stat boosts. Shift-Right click to unleash the active cooldown superpower.

📊

Strict Balance Controls

Global Drop Chance (e.g., 5%) completely controls the inflation of heads. Hard-coded ability cooldowns prevent intense spam.

VFX & Announcements

Passive Helmet Effects

Any player actively wearing a mob head structure triggers periodic aura evaluations via `config.yml`. Upon helmet detachment, all associated effects wipe to prevent exploit stacking.

YAML — config.yml

settings:
  drop-chance: 0.05               # A 5% chance the head will drop securely upon a valid kill
  remove-all-effects: true        # Prevents infinite stacking if a player macro-swaps helmets repeatedly
  action-bar-messages: true       # Broadcasts HUD activation updates when passive effects engage

Individual mob passive capabilities can be globally terminated independently of their Active Ability counter-parts beneath the effects: index map.

Active Abilities & Cooldowns

Triggered through the [SHIFT] + [Right-Click] interface. Active ability metrics vary entirely from massive Wither/Dragon strikes to utility jumps derived from Slimes.

Each mapped item requires strict pacing modifiers to retain economy balance.

YAML — config.yml (Timing Systems)

abilities:
  # BOSS MOBS
  ENDER_DRAGON:
    enabled: true
    cooldown: 25000  # 25 seconds required between usages
  WARDEN:
    enabled: true
    cooldown: 15000  # 15 seconds

  # HOSTILES
  CREEPER:
    enabled: true
    cooldown: 8000   # Massive advantage in PvP kept limited to 8 second bursts
