Histoskins
Histoskins lets a player see custom skins and capes from Histolauncher on multiplayer servers and LAN worlds.
What it does
Histoskins restores Histolauncher skins and capes on multiplayer servers that use stricter signature verification. The 1.20.2 skin rework from Mojang caused those skins and capes to fail to load for Histolauncher users, and the mod addresses that problem. It only affects multiplayer servers and LAN worlds, and works with both the Histolauncher launcher and the official launcher. Only the client needs it, and the files are published for Fabric and Quilt. The latest build covers 1.20.2 – 26.1.2 and is under All rights reserved.

What the author says
This solves an issue with the new skin rework Mojang did to 1.20.2, which causes skins & capes to completely fail to load on Multiplayer servers for Histolauncher users due to stricter signature verifications. This mod only affects Multiplayer server or LAN worlds!
