Custom Skins

Add some flair to your player

This mod allows you to add some extra flare to your player model. It encodes all the data needed for the initial stage in your skin texture you upload to Mojang's servers. This means you don't need to worry about a server I own going down!

 

Current features:

 - Ear override, enable or disable the ears

 - Cape/Elytra override, provide a custom cape and elytra texture, supports data URLs!

 

Planned features:

 - Additional cuboids, you want a plumbob? Go ahead!

 - Additional textures, so you can texture things.

 - Block/Item textures, so you can put a block over your head!

 

How to create a custom skin:

Right now this is not very user friendly, since this is a pre-release version of this mod. You have to run the mod jar with java, either by double clicking or using the java executable (i.e. java -jar CustomSkins.jar). You click the input square and select your skin and then insert the JSON that describes what your skin should do when loaded. As you make changes the skin is outputted next to where your original is. You then take this image and upload it to Mojang's servers.

 

JSON format:

Everything you don't use does not need to be put in, so if you only want the ears you can remove the cape and elytra lines. The cap texture has the elytra texture by default!

{
    "overrides":{
        "ears": [true | false],
        "cape": "URL/Data URL",
        "elytra": "URL/Data URL"
    }
}
