DatapacksJava
Custom Player Heads
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Custom Heads Datapack
1.21.9+: Static textures are fundamentally impossible to obtain with datapacks. All player heads from this datapack are dynamic, meaning that if a player with a placed skull changes their skin, the skull will change with it.
Adds two features:
1.
/trigger givePlayerHead
- Gives a default player head.
-> /trigger givePlayerHead {add|set} <count> will change the amount you're given (max 64 at once).
2.
Renaming player heads for custom skins.
-> Renaming a player head in an anvil and then holding it in your main hand will retexture it to the skin of the player it's named after.
That's it!
