Player heads keep their display names and lore tags after being placed down and picked up again. This is an unofficial fix for MC-174496, which was finally fixed in 1.20.5!
- mod for Minecraft 1.16 - 1.20.4 (and 1.20.5 to upgrade your world one last time, see the changelog)
- works server-only
If you still want lore and other custom data to be kept in 1.21+, you can use the datapack continuation of this mod, "Keep Head Data".

Datapack continuation of Keep Head Names for Minecraft 1.21+
While [MC-174496](https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-174496) has been fixed in 1.21,
This datapack fixes just that.
It is unlikely for this datapack to break any time soon, so don't expect regular updates.

custom_name. custom_name is the name given by an anvil, which is italics by default and can also be removed by an anvil. item_name essentially replaces the item's original name (no italics, no way to change it in survival).
