SkullToHead
I don't know my version or loader
About
This is a small data pack for 1.15-1.19+ that allows you to turn skulls into player heads with skin of any player even in survival, and also change already changed player heads.
How do I do this?
- Get a book and quill
- Sign it with a nickname of the player you want to get skin from
- Throw the book and a skeleton skull in the same place
- Magic!
You can also change the player head if you made a mistake or just want to change the head, just instead of the skeleton skull throw the written book at the player head.
Note
You can make it, so even a regular player head with no skin applied will also change the skin like a skull, just go to the file head_to_head.mcfunction and in the last command delete ,tag:{} part of the command, save the changes and type /reload in your minecraft world.
