MrChair1's Skin Changer
by MrChair1
MrChair1's Skin Changer lets players swap their in-game skin from a menu, without restarting the game, and preview each skin before applying it.
What it does
Skins are stored as files in a folder the player can open directly, and the in-game menu lists them with a search bar for finding a skin by name. A skin equipped at the moment is marked with a green diamond. Players can fetch new skins by typing a Minecraft username or pasting a direct skin texture URL into a fetch box, and the menu reports each fetch, apply and delete with a notification.
The mod supports both the Wide (Steve) and Slim (Alex) player models. Older 64x32 skins are converted automatically to the modern 64x64 format when detected. Players who want to keep a collection tidy can rename skins from the menu or delete them with a two-step confirmation, which moves the files to the operating system trash rather than erasing them. The mod requires Fabric, and the client alone needs it, so the server can be left without it.
Key features
Live skin switching
Skins change in the running game, so players do not need to restart to try a new look.
Multiplayer skin sync
Friends who run the mod see the custom skin a player has equipped, not the default one.
Skin fetching
A username or a direct texture URL pasted into the fetch box brings the skin into the menu.
Preview and search
Each skin can be previewed before it is applied, and a search bar finds skins by name.
Customizable UI sounds
Click sound effects cycle automatically through a set of custom sounds, and the choice is saved in the config.
