Avatar Editor (A)
by Asioko
Avatar Editor adds a skin editor and wardrobe to Minecraft, so players can change and edit skins live in-game without relogging.
What it does
The mod lets players upload, change and edit their skins while the game is running. A built-in wardrobe and skin editor handles the work, with 2D and 3D views and a pixel grid for editing skins directly in-game. Skins can be imported, exported or created from scratch, and the editor includes many of the regular skin-making tools.
A Layer Mixer combines matching base skins, which makes it simpler to build a skin from parts and then fix any inconsistencies in the skin editor. Some of the screenshots on the project page show the editor, and others show the in-game gallery. Recent fixes in the 10/12/26 release correct a top face and torso drawn backwards in the 3D editor, and a bug that caused large frame drops.
The mod runs on the client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across five game versions, 1.20.1 – 26.2, and the code is covered by All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Live skin editing
Skins can be changed and edited while the game runs, without leaving the session to apply a change.
2D and 3D pixel grid
The editor offers a pixel grid in both 2D and 3D views for working on each part of a skin.
Import and export
Skins can be imported from a file, exported, or created from scratch inside the editor.
Layer Mixer
Matching base skins can be mixed together to build a new skin from existing parts.

Use cases
Building a skin from parts
A player can combine matching bases in the Layer Mixer, then refine the result in the skin editor.
Quick edits in play
A player can adjust a skin during a session and see the change without relogging.
Who it’s for: Players who want to design or change their skin inside the game, and server owners who want players to do so on a shared server. Both the server and the clients need the mod.
How it compares
Legacy Skins is client-side only, open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, and covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.10 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, so it needs no server install. Skin Shuffle is a Fabric-only client mod for 1.20 – 26.3, and it is not open source; the client needs it, while the server may leave it out. Avatar Editor, by contrast, must run on both sides, is not open source, and covers 1.20.1 – 26.2.
