HD Skins
With HD Skins, players load skins from alternative skin servers, including ones that allow higher resolution than Mojang's default.
What it does
HD Skins lets the player preview and change skins in-game through a customisation screen. The screen can also connect to Mojang's own skin server, and alternative skin servers can be used in place of it. Its main purpose is to load skins at a higher resolution than Mojang normally permits.
The mod is a companion to Minecraft Little Pony and works with it. Fabric API must be installed alongside it on Fabric or Quilt. Files exist for Fabric and Quilt across 42 release versions, 1.14.4 – 26.3, under the MIT License, and the code is open source.
