# Custom Heads Datapack<\/p>\n

**1.21.9+: Static textures are fundamentally impossible to obtain with datapacks. All player heads from this datapack are dynamic, meaning that if a player with a placed skull changes their skin, the skull will change with it.**<\/p>\n

**Adds two features:**<\/p>\n

## 1.
\n“`\/trigger givePlayerHead“`
\n – Gives a default player head.<\/p>\n

-> “`\/trigger givePlayerHead {add|set} “` will change the amount you’re given (max 64 at once).<\/p>\n

## 2.
\nRenaming player heads for custom skins.<\/p>\n

-> Renaming a player head in an anvil and then holding it in your main hand will retexture it to the skin of the player it’s named after.<\/p>\n

That’s it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
