    Users could create a suggestion with images, and I'm sure jamie can figure out how to make a script to easily import them. It doesn't have to be a big work load, and the amount of heads people could use would be small at the beginning, but it could expand to be a sizeable database in time. And once they're in there it won't need any changing.

    Hell, if you really want to go full-efficient mode. You could write a webpage where people can submit images to be reviewed and added by admins with a click of a button. With some basic features to detect if an image already exists or not. The workload would be reduced to "is it inappropriate? If yes, deny. if not, accept." (This is a heavily simplified example, I'm sure there would be 1 or 2 more steps to it, but you get the idea.)

    1. Create a small plugin that can give heads with custom textures (i.e., NBT data) to players.
    2. Create new kits with custom textured heads, then sell them like star tools at /warp starshop (via [kit] signs).
    3. I wasn't sure whether it would work, but considering the fact that a lot of things are already being done with this method... it should work pretty well.

    Sounds reasonable enough, probably no need to "go full-efficient mode" :)

    So if I understand correctly we're still talking "custom textured heads" where "custom" means "customizable by staff" and not "customizable by users", am I right?

    Yes. One can mean the other, though. Staff can add user suggestions, as kuke said.

    Ok so basically we would have a head catalog on the forum (or somewhere at spawn) where you can see the shortcut names of all available heads, and users would just type /head <headname> and, upon being charged some ECD amount, receive that head in their inventory? Or would that only work with kit signs?
    If it can be done via command, I have another question/proposal: could one replace a head? I mean, let's say I have the "camera" head and I don't need it anymore, I want to replace it with the "apple" head: could that be done via some command like /head replace <apple> (while holding the camera head, or upon being prompted to punch a head already in place)? If I understand correctly, they would be basically the same head, just with a different embedded texture. It would be nice if it was possible to recycle them.

    I assume you're suggesting a universal head, that can have its skin customized. That would definitely be easier for the players, but I'm sure they'd sell better if you had to buy new ones every time, meaning they ought to be a reasonable price.
    I like the command idea, but it may be harder to code permissions, rather than make a shop. A shop however would have to be fairly sized.

    +1 Useful for decorators. I have seen this in many different servers and worlds, and custom player heads allow for a great level of detail to be attained when decorating a house!

    The more realistic result of this is to have something like /decohead and passing in a filtered argument list. Somewhat how /buyfeature worked.

    I can look into it, but I do have to deal with more important things like the stupid trade sign issues.

    Of course trade signs have much greater priority than this, but glad that you consider this doable :)

    [EDIT] and /sell
