Each hostile mob head should summon a unique boss

Lets face it: Minecraft needs more bosses. The last major boss, the Wither, was added during the 1.4 update over 8 years ago at this point. We need more bosses to fight. Guardians were added over 2 years ago at this point and we have seen nothing since. Weird that a game based around fighting and boss killing has seen three new bosses in the last decade.

Currently, three 3 wither skulls and 5 soul sand summons the wither. I suggest that we do the same thing but with every hostile mob head. Not soul sand, but maybe a unique block for each head. We will need a way to collect mob heads in the base game though. Maybe a new enchantment?

This idea is very practical. No massive game changing code, no changes to the main story line. Just simple and expandable. It fits the theme of the game perfectly.

More bosses and updates like these are heavily requested by the MC community right now. You guys did fantastic with the Nether, villager/ pillager, and aquatic update. I have no douts this will be a issue.

    True, and maybe there should be different patterns with each boss, like creeper heads summon a creeper themed boss if you place a single (or even more) creeper head on top of 4 blocks of TNT or even a new gunpowder block.

    A zombie based boss could be the giant (although with another appearance and with an AI different from common zombies) and it could be summoned by placing a zombie head at the side of a tower of rotten flesh blocks

    There could be a giant spider boss with 4 heads facing in all directions where in order to summon it you have to put 4 spider heads in a + pattern on cobweb blocks or nether wart blocks (idk, a Nether themed giant spider sounds cool)

    There could be more bosses using the other mob heads and even new mob heads.
