CachedPlayerHeads

Spigot plugin that drops player heads when they die, without causing client-side stuttering

Features

• SkinsRestorer support
• Bungeecord support (just copy it in both spigot and bungeecord plugins folders)
• The only plugin of its kind that doesn't cause client-side stuttering when the heads are loaded
• Older heads remain the same also if a player changes skin.

How it works

When a player is killed by another player in survival mode, the plugin downloads the skin and drops a head with that skin.

The standard player heads plugins cause stuttering because the Minecraft client downloads the skins from the internet synchronously when it loads the chunks: this plugin instead downloads the skin on the server-side asynchronously and it applies the texture data itself on the head, instead of using the player name/uuid.
