pixelheads

A library that makes it easy to retrieve skins and faces of minecraft players based on their uuid.

Usage

1. Run npm install pixelheads
2. Use one of the functions to retrieve the skin or the face as a base64-encoded string.

     import pixelheads from "pixelheads";
     
     // Returns the entire skin of the player as a base64-encoded string. 
     const playerSkin = pixelheads.getSkinAsBase64("uuid"); 
   
     // Returns the face of the player as a base64-encoded string.
     const playerFace = pixelheads.getFaceAsBase64("uuid"); 

3. Use one of the return values, e.g. in an img-tag:

   <img src="'data:image/png;base64,' + playerFace" 
      alt="face of player"/>
