This allows you to embed player heads (with skin IDs) in chat, GUIs, and the MOTD. and the skin renders, which means we can fill the MOTD with player heads and assign them specific skins to form a complete image (banner). !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/7b04b8bf54db00d1369af56ddabb7355222221e1.png) The (https://github.com/jirka086/BannerMOTD-generator) onec manally ran takes a PNG file named `mymotd` (264 × 16 px), splits it into 66 player head skins, uploads them to get hash, and generates a JSON file ready to be used by this plugin. --- ## Setup - create your banner as png (264 × 16 px) called mymotd or use https://www.pixelbanner.net/ (thanks to @Pekly) **1.
