# Player Heads

Player heads can appear in menu icons, dummy skins, cosmetic previews, rewards, and collections.

Set them with `head` (or `custom-head`) in `meta-builder`:

```yaml
meta-builder:
  head: "custom->eyJ0ZXh0dXJlcyI6..."
```

A non-empty `head` replaces `type`; an empty `head` leaves `type` in control.

## UUID

```yaml
head: "uuid->550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"
```

## Base64 Texture

```yaml
head: "custom->eyJ0ZXh0dXJlcyI6..."
```

The `custom->` prefix is optional; a long value is used as a Base64 texture value as-is.

## Texture URL

```yaml
head: "https://textures.minecraft.net/texture/8a29a81f777e847932961125122b6a61b1e294aaa0f24ab7657bc0f8d01986ba"
```

## Texture Hash

```yaml
head: "8a29a81f777e847932961125122b6a61b1e294aaa0f24ab7657bc0f8d01986ba"
```

Player names are not supported. Use `uuid->` when you need a player owner. Head values are not processed by PlaceholderAPI.
