Build an avatar URL

Use a texture hash to show the selected skin in another plugin.

SkinsRestorer 15.12.6Bukkit plugins that expand PlaceholderAPI avatar fieldsReviewed

An account UUID avatar can show the account's original skin. A texture-hash avatar can show the texture currently applied by SkinsRestorer.

Before you start

The consuming plugin must support PlaceholderAPI in its avatar URL field. Install PlaceholderAPI and check the texture placeholder.

Configure an avatar

Use this URL in the consuming plugin's avatar field:

https://mc-heads.net/avatar/%skinsrestorer_texture_id_or_steve%.png

Reload that plugin using its supported procedure. Change the player's skin, then trigger a new avatar or message.

Diagnose the result

  • Literal placeholder: The field does not expand PlaceholderAPI, or the expansion did not load.
  • Error: Inspect the SkinsRestorer log and data resolution.
  • Correct hash, old avatar: Inspect the image service or consuming application's cache.
  • Steve fallback: The placeholder has no resolved skin property.

MC-Heads is an external renderer. Its availability is separate from server skin application.
