Skins

You can customize character skins in a few different ways using the /character skin command.

Changing a Character's Skin

To change a character's skin, you can use the command
/character skin set <character> [player|file|url] <value> [slim].

The slim option is used to apply a slim skin model, which is typically used for characters with a slimmer build. Omitting this option will apply the default (classic) skin model.

Applying a Player Skin

To change a character's skin to an existing player's skin,
you can use the command /character skin set <character> player <player> [slim].

Skin Not Found

Mojang is ratelimiting the use of player skins. If a skin is not found, it may be due to this ratelimiting. In this case just try again later. If the skin is still not found, it may be due to the player not having a skin set or the player not existing. You can also try using a different method to set the skin, such as using a file or URL.

Example

Classic skins can be applied using the following command:

/character skin set MyCharacter player Notch

To apply a slim skin, just append the slim option:

/character skin set MyCharacter player Notch slim

Applying a Skin from File

You can change a character's skin using a file with the command
/character skin set <character> file <file> [slim].

File Requirements

Skin files must be in PNG format and be of 64x64 pixels.

The file can be located anywhere on the system, but you must provide the full path to the file.
If the file is located in the server's main directory, you can use a relative path.

Example

To change a character's skin using a file, you can use the following command:

/character skin set MyCharacter file "/home/skins/my_skin.png"

Applying a Skin from URL

You can change a character's skin using a URL with the command
/character skin set <character> url <url> [slim].

URL Requirements

The URL must be a direct link to a PNG image file that conforms with the Skin File Requirements.

Example

To change a character's skin using a URL, you can use the following command:

/character skin set MyCharacter url "https://example.com/skin.png"

Resetting a Skin

To reset a character's skin to default, you can use the following command:

/character skin reset MyCharacter

This will only reset the skin, not the skin layers.

Skin Layers

To customize a character's skin layers, you can use the command
/character skin layer [hide|show] <layer> <character>.

By default, all layers are shown. You can hide or show each layer individually.

Example

To hide a character's cape layer, you can use the following command:

/character skin layer hide cape MyCharacter
