Custom Heads & Skulls

Use Base64 textures and dynamic player skins in your GUIs

GUIPlus supports custom player head textures using Base64-encoded skin data. This allows you to use decorative heads, player avatars, and custom icons in your GUIs.

🔑 Using Base64 Skull Textures

Set the item material to PLAYER_HEAD and add the skullBase64 property with a Base64-encoded texture string:

'1':
  slot: 13
  item: PLAYER_HEAD
  amount: 1
  item-name: §6Custom Head
  skullBase64: eyJ0ZXh0dXJlcyI6eyJTS0lOIjp7InVybCI6Imh0dHA6Ly90ZXh0dXJlcy5taW5lY3JhZnQubmV0L3RleHR1cmUvOWZkMTA4MzgzZGZhNWIwMmU4NjYzNTYwOTU0MTUyMGU0ZTE1ODk1MmQ2OGMxYzhmOGYyMDBlYzdlODg2NDJkIn19fQ==

🔍 Finding Base64 Textures

You can find Base64 skull textures from these resources:

On minecraft-heads.com, look for the "Value" field in the head's detail page — that's the Base64 string you need.

👤 Dynamic Player Skin

Use the %self_base64% placeholder to show the viewing player's own skin:

'1':
  slot: 4
  item: PLAYER_HEAD
  amount: 1
  item-name: §6%player_name%'s Profile
  item-lore:
    - ''
    - §7Balance: §a$%vault_eco_balance_formatted%
    - §7Level: §e%player_level%
  skullBase64: '%self_base64%'

This dynamically renders each player's own head, making it ideal for profile menus and player info displays.

The %self_base64% placeholder is also available as the full PlaceholderAPI format: %GUIPlus_self_base64%.

🧩 HeadDatabase Integration

If you have the HeadDatabase plugin installed, GUIPlus can use heads from that database as well. HeadDatabase is a soft dependency and will be used automatically when available.
