Bug Description

Skulls with base64 texture data but no Id tag display fine for 1.20.2+ clients, but appear as Steve heads for clients 1.20.1 and older.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install latest ViaVersion and ViaBackwards on a 1.20.2+ server
2. Log in with a 1.20.1- client and a 1.20.2+ client
3. Run this command in a command block:

/minecraft:give @p minecraft:player_head{display:{Name:'{"text":"Barrel of Peaches"}'},SkullOwner:{Properties:{textures:[{Value:"eyJ0ZXh0dXJlcyI6eyJTS0lOIjp7InVybCI6Imh0dHA6Ly90ZXh0dXJlcy5taW5lY3JhZnQubmV0L3RleHR1cmUvYmJmZmMxZDY0NDA3YTQ2ZThhNjRlNmI0YTIyZDY2YjY3NmJkNWVmYWUwNzFkOTE3NmRiNTFhYjI1NWEzMjdiYSJ9fX0="}]}}} 1

4. Place, hold, or wear the given skull so both clients can see it

Expected Behavior

Both clients should be able to see the texture properly, rather than only the 1.20.2 client seeing it.

Additional Server Info

I'm able to reproduce this with no proxy and no plugins other than ViaVersion and ViaBackwards.

Other additional info

XSeries has some code to work around this for different server versions, but since it can't detect the client version it doesn't help when using ViaBackwards: https://github.com/CryptoMorin/XSeries/blob/eaaa6dedbf542ea8a38c6a4726538508d9e4f8e7/src/main/java/com/cryptomorin/xseries/SkullUtils.java#L107-L120 https://github.com/CryptoMorin/XSeries/blob/eaaa6dedbf542ea8a38c6a4726538508d9e4f8e7/src/main/java/com/cryptomorin/xseries/SkullUtils.java#L270-L283

Checklist

• [X] Via plugins are only running on EITHER the backend servers (e.g. Paper) OR the proxy (e.g. BungeeCord), not on both.
• [X] I have included a ViaVersion dump.
• [X] If applicable, I have included a paste (not a screenshot) of the error.
• [X] I have tried a build from https://ci.viaversion.com/ and the issue still persists.

I had similar issue with a heads plugin running on 1.20.4 server, fixed it for new heads replacing:

Bukkit.createProfileExact(UUID.fromString("00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"), null)

with

Bukkit.createProfileExact(UUID.nameUUIDFromBytes(hash.getBytes()), null)

The linked XSeries solution to me seems a bit overengineered and less useful, but maybe I'm missing something.

Seems with ViaBackwards 4.10.2, this does not happen if the server is running MC 1.20.6, but does still happen if the server is running 1.20.2 through 1.20.4.
