    The issue I've seen with this in the past is that the skins of players change. If a a skin of one of those players is changed, anyone who's already bought that head will not have a broken one.

    If there's a way to address these heads being completely reliant on other people who don't have affiliation with the server (I haven't read through all the comments, someone might have come up with an idea) then I'd be in favor. But until then, it's just an issue to think about.

    As far as I know, all decorative heads aren't even used by accounts made for playing. They're just there, therefore the chance that the skin will change is quite low.

    I've been on a server that used this same system, and it still became such a big issue to the point where we had to put the skins on our alts. Not fun.

    This can be an alternative if this gets denied. :) We can get some people with alts to get the most used decor heads and use them for interior.

    That's why you only get the MHF heads.

    Those are BORING. What we need is the food and technology section of the database.

    And those are also the same heads that can change skins. You'd be paying for uncertainty. It would be pretty stupid.

    Let me tell you, those heads in the database NEVER change. They're just there. If you're referring to the alt account scenario, then its a matter of trust as well as technically costing only $544 each bounty.

    You're wrong though. Some of the heads in the database do change. That's what billy was referring to. They used their own alt accounts to replace the changed heads.

    I don't know what you're talking about. As far as I've watched Keralis Inspiration Series, all those heads were the same. Maybe you're talking about the less commonly used heads, but most of the technology and food part of the database remained the same. Also, the fact that none of the heads are recorded to have a user with hat UUID must mean something. Maybe, I'm wrong, but I will be still willing to take the risk of uncertainty. Maybe have it as the catch. There are heads, but you take a risk when using them. But still, I haven't seen the most popular heads change.
    Also, wow, I have just got to see the full skin of some decor head people.

    I feel like this means that people's head are just taken because they have nice skins now. But whatever, I'm risking it.

    I like this, it should open a GUI or something where you can buy the heads.

    If I'm not mistaken, you can:
    1. change your skin;
    2. use the /head command (spending 10k);
    3. change your skin back to the old one.
    The head should not update whenever you change skin, therefore always showing the skin you had when you used the /head command in the first place.
    I still have to test this, though. But if this works, it would be much more versatile than generic (but fixed) decorative heads: you would be able to make your own custom heads!

    I may be mistaken, but I think that all heads of a player update if one of them is placed, i.e., you wouldn't be able to place a second head with a different skin.

    I think this is what happened when I last tested it. I may be mistaken or it may have been changed.
