Animated Skin Template

Make Your Skin Move: A Clean, Fun Way To Animate Your Character

This skin pack lets your character have simple animations, and it works on most servers unless they use built-in “gameplay fairness” settings. If you want to use your own skin, just edit the file and replace "template.png" with your own skin. After that, the animation will work properly.

If you want to use your own Minecraft skin, please follow the steps below. If not, you can skip this part and just install the pack after downloading.

How to Use Your Own Minecraft Skin

If you want to replace the skin in the animated skinpack with your own, follow these steps:

1. Download the Animated Skinpack

Choose Classic or Slim, then download the skinpack.

2. Change the file to .zip

Find the file you downloaded and rename it from:
.mcaddon → .zip

(Example: change “Animated Skins – Slim.mcaddon” to “Animated Skins – Slim.zip”)
You need a file manager that can change file extensions and open ZIP files.

3. Open the ZIP file

Inside the ZIP, look for a file named template.png and delete it.

4. Add your own skin

Download the skin you want to use.
Rename your skin to template.png
Then put it inside the ZIP in the same place where the old file was.

Note: This only works with skins downloaded from a browser.
It does NOT work with Minecraft Marketplace/Trusted skins.

5. Change the file back to .mcaddon

Rename the ZIP file back from:
.zip → .mcaddon

Then open the file to import it into Minecraft.
After that, check your skinpacks — your custom animated skin should appear.

Note: This is a "skin pack" that only adds simple animations to your skin. It isn’t an emote or gesture addon.
