Extremely simple avatars
For basic usage just provide an identifier - UUID, username or a Minecraft texture ID:
https://mc-heads.net/avatar/identifier
For size control, add the desired size in pixels after specifying the username:
https://mc-heads.net/avatar/identifier/100For avatars without the helm element, add
/nohelm
to the end of any URL:
https://mc-heads.net/avatar/identifier/100/nohelmAnd for a URL with a file extension, you can add a
.png
at the very end of any URL:
https://mc-heads.net/avatar/identifier/100/nohelm.png
8px up to 600px

About Caching
MCHeads caches skins on its servers for 24 hours
Images are also cached in your browser for 2 hours.
In addition, CloudFlare may cache images as long as your browser would.
About Usernames
We strongly advise you to use UUIDs instead of usernames! UUIDs never change while usernames do.
Malformed usernames are rejected.
About UUIDs
UUIDs may be any valid Mojang UUID in the blank or dashed format.
Malformed UUIDs are rejected, and all features on MCHeads support UUIDs
CORS
MCHeads supports Cross-Origin Resource Sharing, so you can make AJAX request from other sites!
HTTP/2
MCHeads supports HTTP/2, meaning a client can re-use a single underlying TCP connection to make multiple requests instead of opening a new connection for each one, making the whole process up to 50% faster!
If you are using one of the JSON or avatar endpoints of MCHeads, using HTTP/2 could heavily increase performance in your app.
