Player Head is a decorative block in Minecraft that displays the skin face of a specific player. In Java Edition, Player Head is obtained in survival only when a charged creeper — a creeper struck by lightning — kills a player, after which the victim drops their own head. Player Head has a hardness and blast resistance of 1.0, so it breaks quickly with any tool and always drops itself. Unlike the six mob heads, Player Head cannot be crafted and does not play a mob sound when placed on a note block.

Player Head can be set on the floor or mounted on a wall, and it can be worn in the helmet slot as a purely cosmetic disguise that grants no protection. Builders use Player Head together with custom-skin head databases to create detailed decorations — furniture, statues, logos, and head-based pixel art — since any skin texture can be encoded into a head. In Bedrock Edition, players do not drop heads from charged creepers, so Player Head is available only through the /give command or the Creative inventory. In Java 1.20.5 and later, use /give @p minecraft:player_head[profile="PlayerName"] to obtain a named head directly.
