After a while of having to deal with landmines that came with Mounts of Mayhem, the Datapack Series are finally here for the last game drop of 2025!

Changes:

• Is now designed for Minecraft 1.21.11!
• Added the heads and their respective mob head sounds for the new mobs:
  • Parched Skull: Walk, Hurt, Death, Crackle
  • Camel Husk Head: Grumph, Yeet, Recover, Death, Eat, Hurt, Sit, Stand
  • Nautilus Head:
    • Regular sounds: Clack, Dried Clack, Jet, Dried Jet, Recover, Dried Recover, Death, Dried Death, Hurt, Dried Hurt, Eat, Swim
    • Baby sounds: Chitter, Dried Chitter, Death, Dried Death, Hurt, Dried Hurt, Eat
  • Zombie Nautilus Head: Burble, Jet, Recover, Death, Hurt, Dried Burble, Dried Jet, Dried Recover, Dried Death, Dried Hurt
• Tweaked the Camel Head texture for consistency with the new Camel Husk head.
• Added new replication sounds for the Parrot Heads: Zombie Nautilus, Zombie Horse, Parched, Camel Husk
  • Odds of getting regular Parrot sounds have also been increased to make sure it's always close to the replication sounds.
• Updated Zombie Horse Head's drop rates now that the mob can be found in Vanilla Survival.
  • It's model has also been updated, and there's now a new Ancient variant to reflect the old Zombie Horse.
• Added new sounds for the Zombie Horse Head: Neigh and Eat.
  • Mojang added these 2 for the mob in this update.
• Skeleton Kill Origin: Mobs killed by Parched also drop heads if the setting is active.
• Lowered the chance of getting a Husk Head from 3.9% to 3.4%.
  • This is mainly to reduce the amount of additional Husk Heads you'd get from hunting Camel Husk Heads.
• Admin Books have been removed and replaced with the Admin Settings menu.
  • The Admin Settings menu lets you tweak all settings in one go, and apply them all at once!
  • Accessing this menu is the same as getting the Admin Book, so it should be easy to get used to it.
• New Presets Menu:
  • This lets you view and edit a Custom Preset's values before applying them!
  • Triggers each time you load a Custom Preset.
• New Show Configs Menu:
  • This lets all players read Admin Setting values in detail!
  • Access by running /trigger tdp.readconfigs.
  • Players will be notified on how to access this menu each time the Settings were changed.
• The player who made changes to packs' Admin Commands are no longer announced in-game.
  • Mainly because that job is meant for the server consoles, and that information doesn't help with the players' gameplay experience anyway.
• Tweaked the names, descriptions of all Admin Settings buttons to better match the new interface it's in.
• IHF files now have their descriptions updated to reflect the recent set of changes.
• Updated advancement background to match game update's theme.

• Camel Head: https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-heads/head/62839-camel
• I made the Zombie Horse Head which was used ever since 1.14. The new Zombie Horse Head is a recolor of that one, with some modifications, mainly because that also happened with the game's Zombie Horse model between versions.

Update notes:

• Because the underlying system has to be reworked to support Admin Settings, your settings will be reset when you update to this version.
• Don't worry though, you can bring your settings back instantly by loading a preset saved in the previous version, so be sure to do that before updating!

Dev comments:

• If you're wondering why I'm dropping the Admin Books now: Mojang secretly obliterated a hidden mechanic that I used to make Admin Books feel nice to use, this was on top of the forced confirmation screen) they added in 1.21.6.

  • Even if it's a bug that'll eventually be fixed, the damage has already been done, and I had to deal with it if I want to properly update all my packs to this release.
  • The reality is, adding new tools to make stuff with proper care just takes this long, and I have to make sure that the tool I'd built won't cause pack clashes when it's used on my other packs that were also running on Book Binder.

• Here's the real secret: I've been doing all this since 2018, but ad revenue alone is tiny compared to the time it took to research, develop, test, and maintain all this for free.

  • As a result, most of my days are swallowed by other work just to keep the lights on.
  • With your help though, I'll be able to go full-time: Faster updates, better tools, and many more features.
    Together, we don’t just keep this going, we build it into what it was always meant to be.
  • So help me keep the lights on here, and have fun with Decapitation!
