About this Mod
Charged
Charged Creepers killing players will (configurably) make them drop their head, (configurably, again) with their skin's texture.
Very many entities heads (configurably) can be dropped.
Player heads with skins can be washed into default skins.
This feature has a client/server sync feature that will prevent temporary, client-side ghost-blocks [of placed heads] appearing at all.

Charged server crashes on startup – what to do?

Server lagging with Charged – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Charged consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
