They Didn't Lose Their Head...Literally. You Just Want It (In Minecraft)
Ever wonder what goes through your friend's head? Well, fear not intrepid explorer of the digital unknown, because today we're on a quest to not rip out their metaphorical minds, but to obtain their glorious noggin...in Minecraft form, that is.
There's something undeniably hilarious about having a miniaturized version of your buddy decorating your pixelated abode. Maybe it's a memento of a particularly epic adventure, or perhaps a delightful prank (just don't place it above their bed, that's creepy). Whatever your reason, here's how to snag that glorious head...ethically of course (emphasis on ethically, we're not into virtual decapitation).

| How To Get Your Friends Head In Minecraft |
Method 1: The Gift of Creative Commandery
Calling all Creative Commanders! This method is for you.
QuickTip: Focus on one paragraph at a time.![]()
- Open the chat bar: Brace yourself, it's time to unleash your inner keyboard warrior.
- Type the magic words: Here comes the good stuff. Craft the following command: /give @p minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:<your friend's username here>} Big brain tip: Replace
<your friend's username here>with, well, your friend's username. Shocking, I know. - Press Enter and BAM!: A glorious, miniaturized monument to your friend's existence appears in your inventory.
Important side note: This method only works in Creative Mode or if you're an admin on a server with the command enabled. Don't worry, comrades in Survival Mode, there's another way!
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.![]()
Method 2: The Charged Creeper Caper (Slightly More Involved)
This method is for the adventurous Minecrafter who isn't afraid of a little...well, a lot of explosions.
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.![]()
- Befriend a Creeper (sort of): Lure (or trap) a Creeper near your unsuspecting friend. This may involve leading it with a leash made of string (not recommended) or building a lovely Creeper pen (slightly less risky).
- The Sacrificial Lamb (Not You...Hopefully): Get your friend to (ideally unknowingly) stand near the Creeper. Maybe lure them with promises of diamonds or a participation trophy in a staring contest.
- Kaboom!: Let the, ahem, "controlled explosion" commence! If all goes according to plan (which it rarely does with Creepers), the blast will (hopefully) leave behind your friend's head as a grisly...I mean, glorious memento.
Words of caution: This method is highly unpredictable and may result in your friend's untimely demise (or yours). Proceed with caution and maybe a fire extinguisher.
Alternative, slightly safer, method: You can also try strategically placing a charged Creeper near a Wither Skeleton. If the stars align and the Creeper gets the final blow, you might just get your prize. But again, there's a high chance of things going sideways (pun intended).
There you have it! Now you're armed with the knowledge (and hopefully not a singed beard) to acquire your friend's head in Minecraft. Remember, use this power responsibly. Maybe don't put it on a pressure plate...or above their bed. We all have boundaries, right?
