Recruits Skins

0.1.0 - August 27th, 2026

First release.

Added

• Player skins are loaded from config/recruits_skins and worn by every Recruit that Recruits draws with its human renderer -- all twelve registered entity types.
• Stable per-Recruit assignment by rendezvous hashing over the unit's UUID, so a Recruit keeps its face across frames, chunk reloads, reconnects and restarts, and adding or removing one skin moves only the Recruits that skin actually wins or loses.
• Classic and slim / Alex arm widths, detected from a filename suffix, a slim/ or classic/ folder, or the arm texels themselves.
• Jacket, sleeve and trouser overlay layers, which Recruits' own HumanoidModel cannot render.
• config/recruitsskins-client.toml, including policies for Recruits' team, biome and companion clothing.
• /recruitsskins (alias /rskins) with reload, status, list and folder.
• Reloading with <kbd>F3</kbd>+<kbd>T</kbd> alongside ordinary resources.
• Corpse compatibility: bodies deliberately fall back to Recruits' own textures, because the stand-in entity Recruits draws them with does not carry the dead unit's UUID.

Notes

• Client-only. No packets, no entity data, no capabilities, no save data. A dedicated server that has this jar by accident loads it inertly.
• Requires Recruits 1.15.2 exactly. See docs/dependencies.md.
• Promoting a Recruit may change its skin: Recruits promotes by replacing the entity, and the replacement has a new UUID.
