Help with skull meta not working?

I been trying to figure this out but i'm starting to give up. I can never get the skull to spawn with a custom player head on it it never ever works it just puts a regular skull on it or dose not work.

Code:

   @EventHandler
    public void onDeath(PlayerDeathEvent e) {
        Location loc = e.getEntity().getLocation();
           Zombie z = e.getEntity().getPlayer().getWorld().spawn(loc, Zombie.class);
           z.getEquipment().setChestplate(new ItemStack(Material.LEATHER_CHESTPLATE, 1));
           ItemStack Head = new ItemStack(Material.SKULL, (byte)3);
           SkullMeta meta = (SkullMeta) Head.getItemMeta();
           meta.setOwner(e.getEntity().getPlayer().getName());
          Head.setItemMeta(meta);
            z.getEquipment().setHelmet(Head);
           z.getEquipment().setLeggings(new ItemStack(Material.LEATHER_LEGGINGS, 1));
           z.getEquipment().setBoots(new ItemStack(Material.LEATHER_BOOTS, 1));
           z.getEquipment().setItemInHand(new ItemStack(Material.AIR, 1));
           z.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SPEED, 20000, 2));
           z.setBaby(false);
           z.setCanPickupItems(false);

 

ItemStack Head = new ItemStack(Material.SKULL, (byte)3);

This means 3 skeleton heads, try :

ItemStack Head = new ItemStack(Material.SKULL_ITEM, 1, (byte)3);

 

Nope still dose not work.

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onDeath(PlayerDeathEvent e) {
        Location loc = e.getEntity().getLocation();
           Zombie z = e.getEntity().getPlayer().getWorld().spawn(loc, Zombie.class);
           z.getEquipment().setChestplate(new ItemStack(Material.LEATHER_CHESTPLATE, 1));
           ItemStack Head = new ItemStack(Material.SKULL, 1, (byte)3);
           SkullMeta meta = (SkullMeta) Head.getItemMeta();
           meta.setOwner(e.getEntity().getPlayer().getName());
          Head.setItemMeta(meta);
            z.getEquipment().setHelmet(Head);
           z.getEquipment().setLeggings(new ItemStack(Material.LEATHER_LEGGINGS, 1));
           z.getEquipment().setBoots(new ItemStack(Material.LEATHER_BOOTS, 1));
           z.getEquipment().setItemInHand(new ItemStack(Material.AIR, 1));
           z.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SPEED, 20000, 2));
           z.setBaby(false);
           z.setCanPickupItems(false);
              
        }
    }

Isn't there a SKULL_ITEM, use that one instead.

 

well it sorta work it just set the skull to a steve head it still isnt setting the owner as the player ;(

 

@5scb8 I heard that you have to place the block down in order for the skin to show up.

 

so basically its impossible to do it?
