(Java Parity) Custom Player Heads via Command

    Clarified subject line, since it is asking for a command, moved to commands category.

    I was about to comment this exact thing. I was trying to make a Pokemon map, but it requires at least 152 heads before I can even start making buildings and NPCs. It's really annoying that the only way to get custom heads is with custom texture packs (which I couldn't use anyway, since I play on Xbox, not Mobile), where you can only replace the vanilla heads. I'd love to see this added.

    No! Absolutely no!
    First, a feature similar to this is already possible by hardcoding the texture into the item. Not going to explain how, just search the internet. (I'm lazy and tired).

    Second, URLs? No! You could technically force a client to download a file without asking player to download it! Just do /give and boom! Virus downloaded on the target! Infected PNG files are a thing already.

    Also, it would not be easy to implement, because it would take really time to get it work.

    It just won't fit the game, and is not a good idea in my opinion.

    Add this to Xbox one! Both bedrock and Xbox one edition!

    If you imagine it, how would the game access URL s through the Bedrock versions of the game. I mean Java Edition is pretty much till some point open source, and it is more easy to implement this. 

    I would like this feature and would be surprised to see it actually be implemented

    Player skulls in general should be added. The ability to customise them in pure vanilla and obtain the MHF skulls is extremely useful.

    Would love to see that in the game..... Because map makers would have a great day using them and gives multiplayer much more feel to it. Please add those to the base game...

    Just make it like Java with the same command.

    This is absolutely needed and is already in Java.

    As for UserTeemu's comment:

    Custom texture packs aren't enough. I want more than 6 heads. If they gave us the ability to have more than 6 heads, where I could add as many heads as I want, then a custom texture pack would work and be better than a URL.

    As for URLs, while not impossible, the threat is probably low if you use a legitimate source for your URLs. If you are using a map, you can review the world and its add ons using the Windows 10 to see if there is anything harmful if you do not trust it. Instead of banning it outright, I would say, add it in and maybe have it where the player has to give the map permission to access the file? Or where you can opt out to any link usage? Maybe there can be warnings on the marketplace page of the permissions required to run the world? Idk, these are all things that are already on Java that so far, haven't been too much of an issue. I think the risk is low.

    This really needs to be added. They should also add a way to add heads via addon.

    Appart from the security risk of downloading skin files with a virus this would not be possible on bedrock edition because of how skins work differently on bedrock and java.

    If custom heads were more feasible than I would 100% support that idea but sadly it’s not really possible and I would rather Mojang spend more time fixing bedrock bugs.

    This is a thing that would be great in the game, but would only work with players currently in the server because of how the bedrock skin system works. Java skins are all stored on the cloud, while bedrock skins are stored on the device and characters are stored across Xbox Live, but with multiple. It would be possible to download another's skin as a block/item in one world, but only players currently on that world.

    This is a good idea and to the people complaining thinking i would give them viruses cant you already get them from locked maps put in them game and if so how many times has that happened to you zero?

    Thats because most of the community is safe and if not people can just report them with the report in the players part

    Maybe you could also get a player head if a player is killed by a charged creeper, just like zombies, skeletons, wither skeletons, and creepers.

    Come on though like you already put spectator mode in the game Mojang just put that one command so I can make more FNAF builds it would be SO useful I mean come on Mojang this is like A DREAM if you would add it to Minecraft bedrock I can only play Minecraft mobile because there is no point in buying it on PC if we already have it on my phone... At least that's what my dad sayed when I asked him if I could get java on my PC

    This might not even be possible with world conversion from Java to Bedrock or use of NBT editors for Bedrock currently. Hopefully custom heads do come in the future.

    I don’t think the url idea is good. But you should be able to get there heads by typing a player gamer tag while there on the world. And the block should save the skin so if they leave or change skin the block doesn’t change.
