About this Mod

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

SkullToHead server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong datapack version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.11). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is SkullToHead compatible with datapack and fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?

SkullToHead officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with SkullToHead – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if SkullToHead consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
