Customizable PortalGun Skins
Customizable PortalGun Skins lets players replace the Portal Gun model with skins and animated textures they choose from an in-game selector.
What it does
Skins for the Portal Gun are chosen from an in-game selector, and the mod ships with more than 170 custom models. Players can also upload their own skins as Blockbench models, with a tutorial for the upload process linked by the author. Replacement covers the gun itself, so textures, including animated ones, appear on the model in hand.
The mod is built as an add-on for PortalMod on Forge for 1.16.5. Skins are visible to other players in multiplayer, so everyone on a server can see which skin each person uses. Quality-of-life additions include a search bar, a favorites system and an improved tint system. Players need the mod installed, while a server can run without it and still add the extra features when it has the mod. Released under the MIT License, it is not open source. The latest Forge file is 1.3.0 for 1.16.5, published on 2026-09-30.
