FAQ

How do I get a Zombie Head?

A creeper must be struck by lightning to become charged, then its explosion must kill a zombie. The zombie always drops its head.

What tool do I need to mine it?

None. It breaks with any tool, or by hand, and always drops itself.

Does Looting increase the drop chance?

No. The head always drops when a charged creeper's blast kills a zombie; Looting has no effect on this mechanic.

Can I wear a Zombie Head?

Yes. Equip it in the helmet armor slot to reduce how far nearby zombies can detect you.
