Better Skin Utils

by ToxicManButCat

Better Skin Utils lets a player upload a custom skin file straight from the game, using a skin command.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient-side onlyMIT License1.16.5 – 1.21.1

What it does

Players can set, clear and switch between slim and classic skin models through the skin command, without leaving the game to change the skin file. The mod is a client-side modification, so only the player's own client needs it and the server can stay untouched. Auto skin saving and support for transparent skins are listed among its extras.

Key features

  1. Upload own skins

    A player can load a personal skin file into the game directly, without an external skin site.

  2. Skin command

    A single command sets, clears or changes the skin, keeping the workflow short.

  3. Slim and classic models

    The skin can be switched between the slim and classic arm models from the same command.
