Set Skull Types?

I am a very nooby coder and am very new to plugin coding itself so forgive me if this sounds like the easiest thing to do ever. so basically i need to find out how to change the skull type of a skull. I have tried many different ways including skull.SetSkullType(SkullType.CREEPER); but keep getting an error under SetSkullType i was wondering if anybody could give me the code to change the skull type.

 

Moved to Plugin Development

 

You can use SkullType enum or you can use its value directly, value for creeper is 4, player 3, zombie 2, wither 1 and skeleton 0.

The method is diferent depending on what you're using it on...

For Block objects:

Code:

block.setData((byte)4); // or SkullType.CREEPER.ordinal() instead of 4

Or for ItemStack objects:

Code:

item.setDurability((short)4); // or SkullType.CREEPER.ordinal() instead of 4

 

Thank you so much been bugging me for a while and now i can finally get to releasing the plugin

one more thing is there a way i can get a different mob like a blaze or an endermans head?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

No, only predefined ones in the game.

But you could put a player head with an owner that has a enderman skin.

You set the owner using ItemMeta class.... getItemMeta(), store it, check if it's instanceof SkullMeta, cast it, change owner, set it back to the item meta and set item's item meta back to the meta you've edited.

 

I'm using this but it only changes the direction my skulls are looking to. Can you please help me?

Code:

Location location = new Location(getServer().getWorld("world"), x, y, z);
                    location.getBlock().setTypeIdAndData(Material.SKULL.getId(), (byte) 2, true);
                    Block block = location.getBlock();
                    block.setData((byte) SkullType.CREEPER.ordinal());

 

I believe Mojang actually added mob accounts so you don't have to worry about people changing their skin.

To change the look of skull you have to set owner. I know how to do it as a itemstack not a block tho.
