About this Mod

Skin Textures

This mod lets you use a custom skin texture for any player, even yourself.
And the best thing? It works completely client sided.

What this mod does

It allows resource packs to change the skin of any player based on their name or UUID.

The textures must be placed in assets/skintextures/textures/entity/player from the root of the pack.

Cape and elytra textures must be placed in assets/skintextures/textures/entity/player/cape and assets/skintextures/textures/entity/player/elytra respectively.

The name of the texture file should either be the lowercase name or the lowercase UUID of the player, ending in .png

Alternatively, you can use the hash of the original skin, which you can get by shifting and right-clicking any player (useful for NPCs and such).

Currently the mod affects the in-game skin of players, player heads, the first-person view and the Show Me Your Skin! mod.

If you encounter any mod incompatibilities, please let me know!

None! Like most of my mods, it works out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

Skin Textures 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 (1.20.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Server lagging with Skin Textures – how to optimize performance?

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