Server Chat Heads

Plz Mojang optimize font rendering

Use player heads in chat and more via placeholders! Credits to CatDevz for making the original Minestom code. ⚠️ We recommend configuring Polymer AutoHost.

How it works

When a player joins its skin gets downloaded and the colors of the pixels of the face get extracted and put in a User UUID, TextColor[][] Map, when the placeholder gets invoked, it searches for the user in that map and tries to print the head in chat using negative spaces and a custom pixel font.

Placeholders

Placeholder	Function
%chatheads:player%	Print the invoker's head
%chatheads:player [target]%	Print the target's head
