# Skulls in Menus

## Overview

SimpleLinks supports using skulls as menu items! You may do this via the built in spigot system or using [HeadDatabase](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/head-database.14280/) / [Skulls](https://spigotmc.org/resources/skulls-the-ultimate-head-database.90098/) is a free alternative.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If the head appears as a steve or alex the Minecraft skin servers may be down, leave it for a few hours and check back later on. **(When using spigot system only)**
{% endhint %}

## Spigot System Tutorial <a href="#spigot-system-tutorial" id="spigot-system-tutorial"></a>

The first step is to set your item to SKULL\_ITEM

```
        material: "SKULL_ITEM"
```

Then you must set the durability/data value to 3

```
        data: 3
```

Then the final step is to add this

```
        skullOwner: "Username Here"
```

Now you have setup your skull item!

## Example Spigot System Item <a href="#example-spigot-system-item" id="example-spigot-system-item"></a>

```
    website:
      material: SKULL_ITEM
      skullOwner: "Refracxx"
      data: 3
      name: "&eWebsite"
      lore:
        - "&7Click to receive a link to the website."
      message:
        enabled: true
        text:
          - "&eWebsite: &dhttps://yourserver.com"
      slot: 10
```

## Example Head Database Tutorial

The only step is to add

```
     head-database: true
     skullOwner: "Username/ID Here"
```

You may find ID's on the [head website](https://minecraft-heads.com/).

**Your material, amount, durability/data will be ignored as it's not needed for that item.**

## **Example Head Database Item**

```
    discord:
      material: DOUBLE_PLANT
      head-database: true
      skullOwner: "6569"
      data: 0
      name: "&eDiscord"
      lore:
        - "&7Click to receive a link to the discord."
      message:
        enabled: true
        text:
          - "&eDiscord: &dhttps://discord.gg/yourservercode"
      slot: 12
