DefaultSkin
Client-side mod that allows the player to toggle custom skins. Developed for FTB Wiki editors to take screenshots without their custom skins.
About this Mod
Client side only! Do not install on the server!
This mod adds a keybind that will toggle custom/default palyer skins when installed. It was made with the primary use of easily taking screenshots for the FTB Wiki, as per the image uploading guidelines, but I suppose it could be useful for other people as well.

DefaultSkin server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong forge 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 (1.20.4). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is DefaultSkin compatible with forge and neoforge?
DefaultSkin officially supports forge, neoforge for Minecraft 1.20.4, 1.20.1, 1.20. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with DefaultSkin – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if DefaultSkin consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
