Server Chat Heads
> Plz Mojang optimize font rendering
Use player heads in chat and more via placeholders! Credits to CatDevz for making the original Minestom code.
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 |
