Setting Block MaterialData?

Hey guys, I've been experimenting some Player Skulls and I can't seem to successfully place a Player Skull without physically placing it in game.

The code Im using:

Code:

public void construct() {
        for (Slot b : slots) {
            b.getBlock().setMetadata(
                    "Type",
                    new FixedMetadataValue(Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin(
                            "SkullWalls"), b.getBlock().getTypeId()));
            b.getBlock().setType(Material.SKULL);
            b.getBlock().getState()
                    .setData(new MaterialData(Material.SKULL, (byte) 3));
            b.getBlock().getState().update(true);
            b.removeOccupier();
        }
    }

Expected Outcome:

• A Player skull appears

Actual Outcome:

• A Skeleton Skull appears

A Slot is a block within a Wall.
The ID for a Player Skull is 397:3, when it's a block I think it's 144:3 but I'm not sure.
I'm using metadata for "logging".
Removing occupier basically removes the skull owner if there is one.

I did check the Javadocs and search around, if you could point me in the right direction that would be fantastic. Thanks.

 

Milkywayz bukkit seems to show no difference in skulls

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void onPlace(BlockPlaceEvent e)
    {
        Block b = e.getBlock();
        e.getPlayer().sendMessage(b.getType().name());
        e.getPlayer().sendMessage(""+b.getData());
        e.getPlayer().sendMessage(""+b.getState().getData().getData());
        e.getPlayer().sendMessage(""+b.getState().getRawData());   
    }

This snippet gives me

Code:

SKULL
1
1
1

for each head

 

It's a real pain in the ass removing the bugs out of my new plugin, it literally took 3 hours to write the plugin and all of today to troubleshoot the issues.

 

Skull information is stored in a tile entity.
