[API] CustomSkullAPI [1.7 + 1.8] 1.0.1

Tested Minecraft Versions:

• 1.7
• 1.8
• 1.9

This API allows you to easily create player skulls (heads) with custom textures.


This doesn't work reliably anymore. Mojang limited the amount of skin-uploads per user. As I don't have any more Minecraft accounts I could use to upload, it's not guaranteed to work properly.

A new, working client is available for the API. You can get it here and use this class to apply the textures.


Features

• Create skulls with any texture you want (uploaded to Imgur etc.)
• Apply the texture to items and blocks

Example

Code (Java):

    @EventHandler
    public void onJoin(final PlayerJoinEvent e) {
        Bukkit.getScheduler().runTaskLater(this, new Runnable() {//Delay to make sure the player is online

            @Override
            public void run() {
                try {
                    CustomSkullAPI.createSkull("http://inventivegames.de/texture/head/name/BLUE.png", new SkullCallback() {//Just an example image

                        @Override
                        public void call(final SkullData data) {
                            Bukkit.getScheduler().runTask(CustomSkullPlugin.this, new Runnable() {//Run this synchronous

                                @Override
                                public void run() {
                                    ItemStack skull = new ItemStack(Material.SKULL_ITEM, 1, (short) 3);

                                    data.applyToItem(skull);
                                    e.getPlayer().getInventory().addItem(skull);

                                    e.getPlayer().getLocation().getBlock().setType(Material.SKULL);
                                    Skull s = ((Skull) e.getPlayer().getLocation().getBlock().getState());
                                    s.setSkullType(SkullType.PLAYER);
                                    s.update();

                                    data.applyToBlock(s);
                                }
                            });
                        }
                    });
                } catch (MalformedURLException e1) {
                    e1.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        }, 20);
    }

This API uses my online skull API which requires real Minecraft accounts to upload the images.
