Package com.cryptomorin.xseries.profiles.builder

Class XSkull

java.lang.Object
com.cryptomorin.xseries.profiles.builder.XSkull
public final class XSkull extends Object
A cross-version way to apply skin texture from different sources to items and blocks.

Some websites to get custom heads:


Usage

The basic usage format of this API is as follows: 

 XSkull.createItem().profile(Profileable.of(player)).apply();
 XSkull.of(item/block).profile(Profileable.of(configStringValue)).apply();

Note: Make sure to read ProfileInstruction.applyAsync() if you're going to be requesting heads in the main thread.

This API replaces SkullMeta and Skull which doesn't properly handle skulls in edge cases just like any other system that relies on the default Mojang handlers. It also specifically supports offline servers too.

Mechanism

The basic premise behind this API is that the final skull data is contained in a GameProfile either by ID, name or encoded textures URL property.

Different versions of Minecraft client handle this differently. In newer versions the client seem to prioritize the texture property over the set UUID and name, in older versions however using the same UUID for all GameProfiles caused all skulls (that use base64) to look the same. The client is responsible for caching skull textures. If the download were to fail (either because of connection issues or invalid values) the client will cache that skull UUID and the skull will remain as a steve head until the client is completely restarted. I don't know if this cache system works across other servers or is just specific to one server.
