# Player Head Crafting

The Painting Table introduces a survival and multiplayer-friendly way to craft custom player heads, with any kind of textures. Players heads are appreciated to mimic custom small blocks, like small logs, small stones, food, animals, chests, pile of books, bags, etc.

## Crafting

**Painting tables** can be crafted using:

* 2 **brushes**
* 2 **Planks** of any wood (oak, dark oak, spruce, bamboo, cherry, warped, etc.)

The recipe is the following:

After you crafted it, you can simply place down your **painting table**.\
The block has its own UI that shows its requirements.

In order to craft custom **players heads**, the painting table except **blue**, **red** and **yellow dyes**, along with **blocks of quartz** that will be consumed as soon as you take the output items.

The last item to put is a **book** (either a writable or a written one), that won't be consumed.\
In this same book, you need to paste the value of the desired player heads textures.\
In this example below, I set a [a cake player head texture](https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-heads/head/51324-cake) in the writable book.

You can find many players heads textures on the [minecraft-heads.com](https://minecraft-heads.com/) website. In the "Custom Heads" section, search for a head you like, and click on it to open its relative full page. Then, scroll to the `For developers` > `Value` field, and click the `Copy` button. Paste the result in your writable book in the game.
