Custom skulls: Head textures not attached to any Minecraft account

I'm here to report a bug, but to beg you not to fix it, or to add it to the game. It's awesome! You can add custom textures to heads using commands in the game: check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0ulXBtxQvo . Please, don't fix it even tought I think it's a bug or add it to the game.

Example:

/give @p skull 1 3 {SkullOwner:{Id:00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000,Properties:{textures:[{Value:e3RleHR1cmVzOntTS0lOOnt1cmw6Imh0dHA6Ly9pLmltZ3VyLmNvbS9nZ1hsZWhFLnBuZyJ9fX0=}]}}}

There's also a generator where you can use any texture


(Mod edit) Copied from link above:

The following command creates a head that is not attached to any minecraft account.

/give @p skull 1 3 {SkullOwner:{Id:00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000,Properties:{textures:[{Value:e3RleHR1cmVzOntTS0lOOnt1cmw6Imh0dHA6Ly9pLmltZ3VyLmNvbS9nZ1hsZWhFLnBuZyJ9fX0=}]}}}

Don't see how? That strange e3RleH...J9fX0= string is actually (inexplicably...) base64. When decoded, it reads:

{textures:{SKIN:{url:"http://i.imgur.com/ggXlehE.png"}}}

I should mention that this only became possible fairly recently.

EDIT: Also, each you need a different UUID for each head texture. I strongly recommend generating one instead of just using all zeros like I did up there.

In regards to the "custom skulls" people keep tweeting me about: Custom URLs is a bug & will be fixed. You can do it in a legit way though.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases. If this has been done, we can reopen the issue.

Keep in mind that the "Resolved"-Status on this ticket just means "Answered", and that we are waiting for further information on whether this issue still exists or not. We will reopen it as soon as the requested information has been delivered.

Ticket resolved as incomplete, because no answer in a reasonable amount of time (1+ year), if it still happens, please update the ticket.
