About this Mod

WindowPlayerhead

A client-side Fabric mod that changes your Minecraft window icon to your player's head.

How It Works

When you join a server or singleplayer world, the mod:

Fetches your player head from Minotar
Caches it locally in .minecraft/cache/windowplayerhead/
Sets it as the Minecraft window icon via GLFW

The download happens asynchronously, so it won't affect your loading times.

Frequently Asked Questions

WindowPlayerHead server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric 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 (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is WindowPlayerHead compatible with fabric?

WindowPlayerHead officially supports fabric for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with WindowPlayerHead – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if WindowPlayerHead 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.
