Local Skin Changer

by Ku1ux

Local Skin Changer lets a player display a different skin on their own client while other players keep seeing the original one.

What it does

Skin image files are loaded from a folder that the mod creates the first time it runs. A player places a file there and picks it in the game's skin options, and the chosen skin is applied only locally. Skins can also be fetched from a direct image URL, such as a NameMC link, and the mod supports that path as well.

Only the client needs the mod, so a player can join a server without any server-side install. Fabric API is required on the Fabric build, and the Forge build runs without it. Files target 1.19.2 – 1.21.10, and the source code is available under the Apache License 2.0, so the code is open source.

Key features

  1. Local-only skin display

    The chosen skin is shown only on the player's own client, and other players continue to see the standard skin.

  2. Skin folder created on first run

    The mod creates a folder for skin image files the first time it runs, so skins can be added without manual setup.

  3. Direct URL imports

    Skins can be fetched from a direct image URL, including NameMC links, and then applied through the game's skin options.

Questions

Do other players see the skin a player selects?

No. The skin is applied only on the client that selected it, so other players keep seeing their own skins.

Does Local Skin Changer need Fabric API?

Fabric API is required on the Fabric build. The Forge build does not list it as a requirement.

What the author says

This mod works with a extra folder that gets made when you run the mod for the first time and in there you put your skin pngs but theres also a in game option to download skins from direct url like namemc. This mod just lets you change your skin locally.
