OlderSkins
by CiLu
OlderSkins restores the original Steve and Alex skins on Fabric clients, hiding the five default skins that Mojang added after version 1.19.3.
What it does
After version 1.19.3, Mojang added five default skins alongside Steve and Alex. OlderSkins removes those new defaults, so only Steve and Alex appear as default skins in the client. Players who dislike the newer skins can install the mod to bring back the earlier set. The mod runs only on the client, so a player needs it installed and nothing else. Files are published for Fabric, covering 1.20.4 – 1.21.1, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest release, under the MIT License and open source.
Key features
Default skins removed
The five default skins added after 1.19.3 no longer appear, leaving Steve and Alex as the defaults.
Offline and online play
When a player joins an online mode server, the server skin still displays, while offline play shows Steve or Alex.
Other players' skins
Skins of other players can be replaced with Steve or Alex, which keeps the default look consistent on screen.
