SkinShifter

SkinShifter lets you change your Player Skin in game!
(Don't worry- you won't change your actual skin, it just renders differently.)

Getting Started

This mod is intended to be used in modpacks or as library for other mods.
You can change your skin by using the command /skinshifter set @s xyz, where xyz is the name or uuid of the player you want to morph into.

If you're a coder, you can use the following methods:

SkinShifter.setSkin(serverPlayer, playerUuidForSkin); // Sets the current skin
SkinShifter.getCurrentSkin(serverPlayer); // returns the UUID of owner of the current skin. Might be the own UUID!

To change config values, you can do the following:

class Test {
    public static void initialize() {
        SkinShifter.CONFIG.changeCape = true;
        SkinShifter.CONFIG.changeNameTag = true;
        // required to save the changes into the config file
        SkinShifter.CONFIG.save();
        // when changing the config after the first player has joined, use:
        // SkinShifter.CONFIG.sendToAllPlayers(serverLevel);
    }
}

Frequently Asked Questions

SkinShifter 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 (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is SkinShifter compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?

SkinShifter officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 26.1.2, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. 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 SkinShifter – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if SkinShifter 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.
