headmate
Resize, rotate and customize Minecraft heads more than ever before! A PaperMC plugin. This requires another plugin (or method) to obtain skinned player heads to work properly.
See the gallery tab for images.
Controls
headmate uses a Breeze Rod as its wand item.
To create your first merged head, hold a player head in your offhand and the wand in your main hand, then click the block you want to place it on. If you wish to place it inside, hold the Sneak key and click a block. You will now enter editor mode.
Editor mode features on-screen instructions. In editor mode, you can move, rotate and scale the head. Press movement keys to move horizontally, or Jump/Sprint to move vertically. Press Sneak to enter transform mode. In transform mode, you can rotate and scale the head. Press Forward/Backward to scale, Left/Right to rotate. Press Sneak to toggle back to move. To save the change, hold Sneak for a second.
You can add more heads (this is why it's called merged heads!) to the same block by doing the same thing you did to create the first head.
To edit a head you placed earlier, hold nothing and click the head with the wand, or shift-click the block to see a list of all the heads in the block. You can edit or delete heads from this list. You can alternatively delete all heads in the block by Left-clicking with the wand and a Lava Bucket.
To change the hitbox of the head block, press Left Click while holding the wand. This will toggle between a pass-through and a solid block. You can also add a custom block by simply placing it while in pass-through mode.
