More than a list of player names
This Minecraft head database contains fixed custom textures rather than a short list of player accounts. Each design keeps its appearance, so a burger stays a burger and a letter stays the same letter even when a Minecraft player changes their skin.
Real categories and tags
Start with one of ten categories, then search names and community tags to find a useful head without scrolling through the full catalog.
Commands for old and new Java
Copy component syntax for Java 1.20.5 and newer or legacy SkullOwner NBT for Java 1.20.4 and older.
Fast, visual browsing
Only the selected category loads. Sixty results appear per page with six heads per desktop row and a larger preview on selection.
How to get a custom head in Minecraft
You need Minecraft Java Edition with cheats enabled, or operator permission on a server. The database handles the texture data and command formatting for you.

Which Minecraft head command should you use?
Mojang changed item data syntax in Java 1.20.5. Both command formats embed the same fixed texture, but they are not interchangeable between game versions.
Java 1.20.5 and newer
Use the modern command containing the minecraft:profile item component.
Java 1.20.4 and older
Use the legacy command containing SkullOwner and its texture properties.
Minecraft player head questions
How do I get a player head in Minecraft Java?
Choose a head and copy the command for your version. Run it with cheats enabled or operator permission. Java 1.20.5 and newer use the profile item component; Java 1.20.4 and older use SkullOwner NBT.
Do these player heads work in Bedrock Edition?
No. Bedrock Edition does not support Java's player_head profile component or SkullOwner commands. This database and its commands are for Java Edition.
Will a custom head texture change later?
No. Each command embeds the head's texture value instead of relying on a player username, so the decorative texture remains attached to the item.
Where do these Minecraft heads come from?
The catalog comes from the CC0 public-domain TheSilentPro/heads database. CraftMC groups the records by category and mc-heads.net renders previews from their texture hashes.
How can I find a specific decorative head?
Choose the closest category, then search that category by name or tag. Searches such as pizza, dragon, crate, letter, or flower narrow thousands of heads to the relevant designs.
Why is the Minecraft head command so long?
A custom head command contains a Base64 texture value pointing to the exact Mojang-hosted skin texture. If the command exceeds Minecraft chat's length limit, paste it into a command block instead.
Database source and Java Edition support
These custom player heads are for Minecraft Java Edition; Bedrock Edition does not support the same player_head texture commands. Head records come from the public-domain TheSilentPro/heads collection under CC0. The public mc-heads.net service renders previews from each Mojang texture hash. Community names and tags may occasionally contain mistakes.
