Player Head Wiki Guide

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a Player head (formerly called a Steve head) with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a Player head is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. It is only available in Creative mode (not Survival mode) through the Creative Inventory menu.

Let’s explore how to add a Player head to your inventory.
