BlueMap Custom Skin Server
BlueMap Custom Skin Server lets a Fabric server show player skins from a custom skin service on BlueMap's live web map.
What it does
The addon connects BlueMap, the web map plugin, to a custom skin server so that player heads and markers on the map display the skin each player is using. Without it, BlueMap falls back to default skins. The mod is an addon and needs BlueMap installed to have any effect.
Server owners install the mod only on the server. Players join without installing anything, because the mod runs on the server side alone. It requires BlueMap, Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, and it can work alongside Skin Restorer or SkinsRestorer, which are optional companions that handle skin storage on the server.
Builds exist for Fabric only, for game versions 1.18 – 26.3. The newest file, 2026.9.2, targets 26.3 and was published on 2026-09-29. The project is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are publicly linked. Ducky Updater Lib is bundled inside the jar.
