Better Character

Players build a character by picking body type, hairstyles, eyebrows, beards and mustaches, eyes, faces, shirts, lower-body clothing, capes, hoods, collars, mantles, scars, tattoos and other body marks. The selected parts are combined automatically into a single high-resolution Minecraft skin, so no manual skin file editing is needed. Colors for skin, hair and eyes can be chosen from presets or set with a full color picker, and the position of eyebrows can be adjusted.

The creator is laid out like the character screens of role-playing games. A preview follows the category being edited and moves the camera to match it. Compatible accessories, marks and facial-hair parts can be combined at the same time, and upper and lower clothing can be mixed freely to form different outfits. Masculine and feminine characters are both supported, and the feminine option adds body geometry and long hairstyles beyond the standard skin model. Compatible armor hides overlapping details to reduce clipping. A random appearance can serve as a starting point, and three local preset slots store finished characters.

The mod runs on the client and on the server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
