How to set Skull Owner with the new NBT-System

Since the NBT-System has changed in 1.4.5-Recommended Build there is a new, much easier way to change the NBT-Data of an Item.

I tried a bit around and got this method now:

Code:

    private ItemStack setSkin(ItemStack item, String nick) {
        SkullMeta meta = (SkullMeta) item.getItemMeta();
        meta.setOwner(nick);
        item.setItemMeta(meta);
        return item;
    }

to add a playerskull to an inventory you just do this:
player.getInventory().addItem(setSkin(new ItemStack(Material.SKULL_ITEM, 1, (byte) 3), "pizzafreak08"));

BTW: (byte) 3 is to set the skull to player skull and not the default wither skeleton type.

hope you can use this in your plugin

pizza

 

Thanks!

 

How would I make a plugin that allows me to type a command that makes all the player heads in my inventory change into the default head of a human (397:3)? The use for this would be to let me use essential to sell the human head or Steve head(397:3).
