Does difficulty affect head drops at all? I'm on difficulty 10 and killed like 50 mobs and not a single head (or anything other than the usual Minecraft mob drops) has dropped. Are head drops broken or something? EDIT. Please note that on top of difficulty 10, I also have a Looting 3 Sword and a Witch's Gem. Switched the Gem to a Lucky Rabbit's Foot. No difference. Still no heads.
Oh stars, finally. I got a head on difficulty 3. ._. Seriously though, what's up with the drop rates on heads? And I'm not getting anything on difficulty 6+, which I thought improved drop rates on...well...all drops.
I'm usually on diff 7 and sometimes get mob heads often. Not super often but not never. Horse heads are a different story for some reason. Killed 100s of them since V2 came out and only ever got 1 head. Also using Looting 3 and lucky foot.
Well, for spending 6 hours today killing various mobs, I got two heads. A rabbit and a cow. Big woop. I got both on dif. 3 difficulty. I had no luck of any kind with the other difficulty levels. I think I had better odds getting Aikar's head last night than I do getting a random mob's head.
For the most of it, I tend to stick with difficulty 5 or 6, which seem to have pretty fair rates for me. I hadn't noticed any issues with mob head from my point of view. Maybe if anything a slight difference in the amount of mobs I have to kill before I finally get one. Though they do come, It's been awhile since I got back into playing, so the amount or randomized loot of it could very well still be the same. Received zombie pigmen, skeleton, creeper, and spider over past few days. Wish you better luck out there!
