About this Mod

Fix Mojang Skins over HTTPS

Tired of broken skins or errors when loading player textures? This mod fixes the issue by forcing all Minecraft skin requests to use HTTPS instead of plain HTTP.

Features

  • Works with the vanilla skin system and any mods that rely on Mojang’s textures.minecraft.net CDN.
  • Automatically rewrites insecure HTTP requests to HTTPS — no extra setup required.
  • Keeps your game future-proof, since modern servers and networks often block or break HTTP traffic.

Why you need this

Some environments and mods break when Minecraft tries to fetch textures over HTTP. With this mod installed, skins (and Mojang-hosted capes) will always load securely, in every mod that uses the standard texture downloader.

Compatibility

  • Compatible with all skin and cosmetic mods that rely on the vanilla downloader.
  • Fixes incorrect skin loading in Essential by patching the underlying Mojang request system.
  • Does not interfere with custom external CDN mods (OptiFine, CustomSkinLoader, etc.).

Frequently Asked Questions

SkinTLS 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 (1.21.8). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is SkinTLS compatible with fabric?

SkinTLS officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.8, 1.21.7. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with SkinTLS – how to optimize performance?

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