Showcase

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
