Server Chat Heads
Plz Mojang optimize font rendering
Use player heads in chat and more via placeholders! Credits to CatDevz for making the original Minestom code.

How it works
When a player joins its skin gets downloaded and the colors of the pixels of the face get extracted and put in a User UUID, TextColor[][] Map, when the placeholder gets invoked, it searches for the user in that map and tries to print the head in chat using negative spaces and a custom pixel font.
Placeholders
Placeholder Function %chatheads:player% Print the invoker's head %chatheads:player [target]% Print the target's headBleeding edge builds
Upstream builds are available in via GitHub Actions.
