    i got my skull for my home and it rest back to a Steve head if there is something that can be done to fix it because 10000 is a lot of money for a newer player

    This was an existing “problem” on old main. Skulls of people would kinda randomly cycle through the skins the player had worn before. I’m not sure if this is something intended or if it can be “fixed” to display only your current skin. I’m only posting to let you know that all skulls have done this for a while now, didn’t want you spending another $10k for nothing.

    So I used to own hundreds of heads on Old Main and had this problem occasionally. If you are storing it in a chest, you need to place it down on a block first then remove it. Never had that problem after that.

    You know it is safe when it only says “Skull of _____” once on the item name and not twice.

    I'll see if there's anything we can do about this bug.
    Added to our development todo list.

    According to @Supergigant_Ring this is unfortunately unfixable.
    Here are some quotes from our latest development session:

    "Synopsis of the bug: Not fixable because it is a mojang/bukkit/whatever bug. However, the codebase was very old and did some very weird stuff with deprecated durability which I have removed."

    "The skull command used a lot of very fishy old apis which might have caused the problem. I cleaned up the mess and got rid of all the deprecated methods."

    This may help out with your problems :)

    Do let me know if you experience any other issues with skulls.
