How to Get a Player’s Head in Minecraft
Last updated
Ever wondered how to snag a player’s head for your collection in Minecraft? It’s a quirky feature that can add a personal touch to your game world or serve as a trophy of sorts. So, let’s dive right into unraveling this mystery!
Are you looking to scoop up a player’s head in Minecraft but not sure where to start? You’re in the right place. We’re about to break it down for you, step by step.
Getting a Player’s Head in Minecraft
First off, in vanilla Minecraft, the only direct way to get a player’s head is through commands. This means you can’t just find them lying around or craft them like you would a sword or a pickaxe. Instead, you use a special command to spawn one.
To do this, you’ll need access to your game’s command console, which requires enabling cheats. Once you’ve got cheats enabled, you can use the /give command followed by your player name, the item code for a player head, and the specific player’s name whose head you’re after. It looks something like this: /give @p minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:"PlayerName"}. Remember, replace “PlayerName” with the actual name of the player whose head you want.
