    Hey guys! With the release of the new Build servers, I found out that we can use /skull to get anyone's player head. This excited me, because there is a database full of custom heads with usernames that are useful for map building.

    Sadly, that database was taken down. The heads were moved over to a new website, FreshCoal. However, these heads are URL based, meaning that they are custom skins attached to a random UUID. (this pretty much means that the player the skin is assigned on isnt a real player or doesn't have that skin.)

    Now, these heads can be spawned in using the /give command. I know this command is OP, since it can give you anything. But, I am asking on the communities opinion on adding it, because the new database has literally every skin you can think of.

    A suggestion is to add the /give skull command, but modify it so it will ONLY give heads. And example command from the FreshCoal site is:

    /give @p skull 1 3 {display:{Name:"C4 Explosive"},SkullOwner:{Id:"8b8fcca0-6880-4108-a46a-5a21320e0d7c",Properties:{textures:[{Value:"eyJ0ZXh0dXJlcyI6eyJTS0lOIjp7InVybCI6Imh0dHA6Ly90ZXh0dXJlcy5taW5lY3JhZnQubmV0L3RleHR1cmUvOGRhMzMyYWJkZTMzM2ExNWE2YzZmY2ZlY2E4M2YwMTU5ZWE5NGI2OGU4ZjI3NGJhZmMwNDg5MmI2ZGJmYyJ9fX0="}]}}}

    That command spawns in a head that looks exactly like this: [​IMG]

    The website to the command head database is http://heads.freshcoal.com/maincollection.php

    I really wanted to use the alphabet heads to make a Welcome sign, but I can't, because the skin isn't assigned to a username.

    Vote on your opinions!

    Only trusted builders should have access to this.

    I don't think it'd be hard to implement? We could keep /head but just add it so that you can either put the username or the UUID

    Yeah, but the new website has URL based heads. (URL based heads are player heads that are random skins assigned to a random UUID, with no username.) I'm asking if we can add the /give command to allow us to use URL based player heads. Kinda confusing, but yeah.

    Im kinda confused too. Are you saying that the skin of the head is random and not based on player names? b/c I can do /head [any minecraft username ever] and get there head
    you might not be saying that tho so idk lol :smile:

    I would support /give being added in general, as I don't see that much harm can be caused from this command.

    That's pretty awesome, but the whole give command seems long and complicated for newer players. Perhaps it could be simplified into /head <display name> <url> for a playerless skin, or just /head <username> to get a player's skull. A new player would still have to find and copy the url, so I dunno how much quicker it would be versus just copying the command from FreshCoal, but it might make it easier for newer players to understand.

    Another idea to simplify getting a head would be to make a shortcut command for commonly used heads (ex: wooden a-z heads). The command could simply be /head 'a', /head 'b', etc. with single quotes to differentiate between a character and username. That approach would take a lot more time behind the scenes, but it'd make getting those types of heads a lot faster.

    giving the vanilla "/give" command would actually be a bad idea, it would have to be edited before being implemented, and that is definitly not something the coders would give time to care about with the current list of issues.
