Head Rename
You can rename Player Head and he update skin
About this Mod
Rename the player head in an anvil, and it will automatically change its texture to the skin of the player whose name is written in the item's name.
This is convenient for decoration, displays, mini-games, and collections — instead of commands or NBT magic, you just type the desired name in the name field.
How to use
- Take a Player Head.
- Place it in an anvil.
- Type the player's username into the name field (e.g., 'Notch').
- Take the item — the head texture will update to the skin of the specified player.
Notes
- Only works with player heads.
- The username is taken from the item's name — whatever you enter during renaming is what will be used.
- Upon player death — the head will drop.
- There is a crafting recipe using leather and bones.
!!! FOR NEOFORGE !!!
Synitra Connector and Forgified Fabric API must be installed.
RU
Переименуй голову игрока в наковальне, и она автоматически сменит текстуру на скин игрока, чей ник указан в названии предмета.
Это удобно для декора, витрин, мини-игр и коллекций: вместо команд и NBT-магии ты просто пишешь нужный ник в поле имени.
Как пользоваться
- Возьми Голову Игрока (Player Head, кто сильно спикит он инглиш).
- Положи ее в наковальню.
- Введи в название ник игрока (например,
Notch). - Забери предмет: текстура головы обновится на скин указанного игрока.
Примечания
- Работает только с головами игроков (Player Head, кто сильно спикит он инглиш).
- Ник берется из имени предмета: что написали при переименовании, то и используется.
- При смерти игрока - с него падает голова.
- Есть крафт из кожы и костей.
!!! ДЛЯ NEOFORGE !!!
- Необходимо установить Synitra Connector и Forgified Fabric API
