  1. Hello,

    I've been considering opening a shop/service for something high in demand: player heads. In specific, custom player heads. Basically, I'd buy another alt and change the skin to something - an iron block, a beacon, an apple - and kill myself a bunch of times and put the heads in a shop for people to buy.

    I'd also take requests from the forums. Players could ask for a specific block or item and (preferably, yet optionally) supply the skin to be used.

    I think it'd get some buyers. I have a few questions for the community, though:
    • Would you use this service? How often?
    • How much should I charge per retail/pre-decapitated head?
    • How much should I charge per custom ordered head?
    • Do you think this is a good idea?
    If I could, I'd start the service now. However, heads are really, really broken at the moment. Player heads aren't supposed to change the skin on them even in the player changes theirs, but all heads have been glitching back and forth like crazy lately.

    Let me know what you think of the service. Thanks,
    PenguinDJ
  2. I'm guessing this would be a help to the museums.
    One head of each type of block.
    It would take a bit, but it would be cool to have in a player's museum.

  6. Oh my goodness! You'd make a killing on those alone.

    I'd love to see animal heads. Maybe even get creative and take 3 heads and like a snow man build a fox, or whatever animal you choose. I'd pay good money for that ♡

  7. You could also make a fortune from fake staff heads =/

  9. How would this work if the heads keep changing? I've changed my own skin before and the look doesn't change from the old one.

  10. The skin isn't supposed to change. After a head is obtained, it should stay the same. Aikar tried to fix this a while back but it didn't work. I have a few dozen heads that keep randomly swapping between three different skins.

    I'd only start the service after this bug is resolved.

  11. I would 100% be totally into this. A little tip if you want to start early; Say if your skin is red and the alts name is "Joe". You can obtain your head a bunch of times, then put them away. Change your Minecraft name to "Jeff", then have your skin blue, and you can have two heads of technically the same person, one red of "Joe" and one blue of "Jeff". It takes about a month to rename the alt, but I mean you get the custom heads, which is nice.
  12. This would be cool, too bad the heads are glitchy right now. I tried to get one of my heads with a different skin, but every time I take it out of my vault it changes the skin on all of my pre-existing heads. That would be a problem until this is fixed.
  13. Ya that's cool. If this gets fixed I can help you out with some of my alts.
