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.
If your Alex type skins are not recognized by this mod, please try Et Futurum Requiem.
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.
While playing the mod I keep getting this spammed in my logs.
In reply to Terra_McCloud:
hd skins is a neat option to add but could someone explain how to use this on a server?
i'd like to use my skin with this option " B:useCustomServer=true" from dropbox, is that even possible, if not how else? i've visited crafatar butu can't even find an upload option there
In version 6, the mod works well in rendering with the mod Headcrumbs (spiral lucky block). But from version 7 onwards the skin gets buggy. Is there any way to fix it?
I'm no so sure though, but I can see that my skin is terribly corrupted in a singleplayer world...
I guess it can't work with More Player Models and it'll get my skin in trouble.
I installed about 114 mods, and More Player Models is the only mod related to skins, it will create a 3D hat out of the skin.
So maybe I need to remove MPM in order to get my skin working... Am I right?
I am using this mod in my 1.7.10 Lan world but my friend can see my skin while I see them with a different skin than the one they chose.we have both my and his skin(named with the player username) in the folder but different and apparently casual skins keep showing up in my screen....

I have a question, if I put this mod on my server and client side players will see theirs new skin ? How they will choose their skins to play in my server ? Someone can help me ??
Do you think there could be a version of this mod... without the skin port?
I love the offline skins and the fix for odd arm angle while riding things (The latter is what convinced me to install), but the new skin format causes issues with some mods that replace the player model.
It's pretty difficult to decide if I want the hand fix, or the alternate model, so I'm really hoping there won't need to be a choice.

In reply to DarianStephens:
Finally a fix for the LAN host skin bug! I've been looking for a fix for this in 1.7.10 since forge for whatever reason only fixes it in 1.8+.
What about semi-transparency support?
Is this mod client side, or does it have to be on a server?
In reply to NanoHeart:
Can you update to 1.11.2?
This mod is only for 1.7.10.
If you want offline skins feature for later versions, you can use OfflineSkins.
Ahh What
