About this Mod
Blinking Skin Port [Forge 1.12.2/Fabric 1.16+]
This modification automatically toggles all second Skin layers you set to true in a specified interval.
It is a port of the Blinking Skin Mod to 1.12.2 and 1.16
How does it work?
Minecraft introduced a second skin layer in version 1.8 for every part of the player's body. You can configure this modification to toggle certain (or even all) second skin layers in certain time intervals. This will make the skin look as if it is blinking (/ animated).
Body parts which can blink: Cape, Hat, Jacket, Left Sleeve, Right Sleeve, Left Pants Leg, Right Pants Leg
Do other players need to have this modification installed to be able to see my skin blinking?
No.
