📜 Command Usage Guide

For a detailed list of available commands and their usage, please visit the commands wiki page.

❌ Known Incompatibilities

  • Arclight (<=1.20.1): Trials or older versions are not compatible due to mixin conflicts.
    As an alternative, consider using the SkinsRestorer plugin.
  • Launchers with 3rd party skinning systems (e.g., TLauncher): Not supported. SkinRestorer uses the official skinning system, and since these launchers override it, skins will not be displayed on the client.

❓ FAQ

  • Q: /skin set web gives "trailing data" or URL not accepted?
    A: Put the full URL in double quotes "..." - Minecraft chat parsing requires it for URLs with special characters.

  • Q: Ely.by skins not working ("no profile with name ...")
    A: Reapply/set skin on ely.by site first. Ensure username exists & spelled correctly.

  • Q: Mojang skins not working ("not found" / "no profile")
    A: Verify username exists. Temporary Mojang API outage/rate-limit - retry in 5-30 min. Delete config/skinrestorer/mojang_profile_cache.json.

Frequently Asked Questions

Skin Restorer server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Skin Restorer compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?

Skin Restorer officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Skin Restorer – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Skin Restorer consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
