Running the Command

If you want a specific player's head without waiting for them to die, the mod adds a single command for exactly this. Open chat and type:

/jph <playerName>

The player name is not case-sensitive, so you do not need to worry about matching capitalisation exactly. By default the command gives you one head. If you want several at once, add an amount after the name:

/jph <playerName> <amount>

The amount argument is optional — leave it off and you get a single head.

Permissions and Behaviour

The command relies on the server being able to look up the player's profile, so it works for any account that exists, not just players currently online. If you are on a server, you need permission to run the command (typically operator level). On a singleplayer world with cheats enabled, you can run it freely.

Because the head is generated from stored texture data rather than the name itself, the command returns quickly and does not cause the stuttering you may have seen with name-based head plugins. If the command fails, double-check the spelling of the player name — the lookup has to resolve to a real account.
