This mod adds rendering support for the new skin format introduced in minecraft 1.8.
Now you can use your new fancy skin in 1.7.10!
If you want offline skins for 1.8 and above, check OfflineSkins.
Features:
1. 1.8 skin format rendering support!
2. 1.8 skin customization support! find it in the options menu, translations is generated from 1.8 assets. (the change will not be visible to others if the server didn't install the mod)
3. offline skin support. (it will not work automatically though, you need to add your skin file in the generated folder (.minecraft/cachedImages/skins), and named after your username, ends with .png)
4. api for other mod to interact with.
It is a little different from 1.8 though:
1. alex/slim model will be applied only if the pixel(position of 55, 20) in the skin file is fully transparent, and it is in the new skin format(64x64).
2. held items in 3rd person is different from 1.8, because 1.8 changed the rendering, and I didn't do that.
3. the network protocol used for skin customization is different from 1.8, means it will only take effect in 1.7.10 forge server with this mod installed, and 1.8 people won't see the change. but yourself should always be able to see the change.
4. it is 1.7.10, other people without the mod will see your skin normally, means they won't see the extra layer.
Compatibility with other mod: not tested, but this mod is open source, you can ask other mod author to support it. since 1.7.10-v4, it should be compatible with SmartMoving and RenderPlayerAPI.
Note: this mod will only be available in 1.7.10.
Why create this mod: because most mods will skip 1.8, and I don't know when forge will support 1.9 or so. Well, move on.
this is trash mod
Hey, there's one small detail about your mod that you might want to fix:
Smart Moving doesn't render the capes, atleast capes from your mod would it be possible to add support for that? Thank you.
(on V10c) For unkown reason my skin is... uh, it looks like this:
It will be gold wtih 1.6.4 and older support
I'm pretty confused, even with a guide I found, on how to make this work. No files I set as my username in CachedImages are applying to my skin.
optifine cape supported?
I genuinely do not understand how to make this mod work.
it changes my skin to noob assasin or something like that idk why. help me pls (using v8c)
In reply to 4SpectreTV:
Do you own the in-game username ? if not, you need to disable Mojang and Crafatar in the config file, otherwise consider changing your username to a non-existing one or buy a minecraft account. Also, i don't offer support for old versions as i don't really remember the codes, it's very old...
So, this mod adds 1.8 skin support and fixes this hand bug when riding entities right? Because I have this bug on my whitelist server and idk how to fix it.
In reply to 4SpectreTV:
Yes, it does add 1.8 skin support and also fixes the hand rendering bug when riding entities. Please consider updating your server's version if you start noticing these things, i think there are more contents on newer versions now.
Little question, Does this mod work with MorePlayerModels?
because when i loaded the mod my skin was all torn apart.
In reply to Forge_User_96008990:
No, there are reports about this mod is not compatible with MPM, and sorry, I don't really want to make the effort to make them compatible.
In reply to Forge_User_96008990:
MPM has issues with certain mods anyways, so it's better to just not use it anyways. (It even causes issues with mods that don't even change the playermodel itself, so yeah, as a random example, one of the items it causes issues with in modded is apparently the ender pouch.)
yoo optifine capes don't work with this mod, i saw you asking for igns in the comments, my ign is rerd i have an optifine cape if you need it to test
Hello, I wanted to ask the mod cool and works well on the last version, but I would like to see it work with the More Player Models mod, should we expect this in the future?
In reply to Dasercom_Close:
No, I most likely won't update this mod anymore. 1.7.10 is very old now.
In reply to LainMI:
But the most stable, how then to be the players. Many who know this mod will be disappointed if at least there will be problems with this mod. But I understand, thanks for answeringShame the alex model doesn't work anymore for me on this, going back to my 1.7.10 modded instances I found my skin was fine, but despite being an alex model skin it had the big steve arms. :s
This mod changes all default skins to a random skin every time I join a server, this is really obnoxious and I just want steve and alex for default skinned players, other than that the mod is great but its painful to use when everyone is either; entirely white, link skin, a white and gray demon skin, and other odd skins. Please make a version without these thats just steve and alex, thanks.
