With the Minecraft setblock command (in game): we can do this: 

/setblock -4 4 -132 minecraft:player_head[rotation=0]{SkullOwner:{Name:"playerName"}}

. That will place a player head of the specified player with the specified rotation.

 

How can I accomplish this in my mod.

 

I know that I can set a block to be a player head using setBlockState and having 

setBlockState( BlockPos, Blocks.PLAYER_HEAD.getBlock().getDefaultState() 

I also know that we can add a rotation to it by adding

.with(BlockStateProperties.ROTATION_0_15, 3)

 

But I am lost on how I would go about setting the nbt data for skull owner SkullOwner. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

 

Thanks,

The only two ways I can think of is either use

SkullTileEntity.setPlayerProfile()

or call

onBlockPlacedBy()

and pass in a stack with the nbt data you want.

Both of them basically do the same thing.

That worked perfectly. Thank you.
