LazyShuffle
by FanyaOff
LazyShuffle, a Fabric utility for Minecraft 1.21.8 and earlier, lets players load and switch skins from a folder without leaving the game.
What it does
Players point the mod at a skins folder and pick a skin from a list, navigating subfolders as needed. Choosing a file and applying it changes the player's skin in the current session. The mod works on single-player worlds and multiplayer servers alike, since it only changes what the local client displays.
Skin files are matched to a model by their file name. A name that contains slim marks the skin as the slim (Alex-style) arm model, and a name without it uses the classic (Steve-style) model. The mod is client-side only, so servers do not need to install it. Required dependency: Skin Shuffle, which must be installed alongside LazyShuffle.
Builds exist for Fabric across nine release versions, with 1.0+1.21.6 for 1.21.8 as the latest file, published 2025-06-30. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Skin folder browsing
A file list opens the skins folder, and subfolders can be entered and left to find a skin.
Classic and slim models
A skin is shown with the classic or slim arm model, chosen from the file name or the model selector.
Filename model rule
Adding slim to a skin file name selects the slim model, so Alex-style skins need no manual setting.
Apply changes
A chosen skin is applied to the local player with an apply action, and the change takes effect without a restart.

Use cases
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who keep a library of custom skins and skin makers checking their work in game. Because only the local client changes, it is most useful in single-player and on servers that do not enforce a skin.
