Quick HTTPS Skin Fix
by j0lol
Quick HTTPS Skin Fix changes how skin textures are requested, so skin loads use HTTPS instead of plain HTTP on NeoForge.
What it does
The mod is a single mixin that rewrites skin texture requests from http to https. Skins that failed to load because a firewall blocked plain HTTP connections can then come through. It runs on the client only, so a server does not need it and players can install it alone. Builds target NeoForge for 1.20 – 1.21.3 with the 1.0.0-version-widened file as the latest release, under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which is open source.
Key features
HTTPS skin requests
Skin texture requests are switched from HTTP to HTTPS before they leave the client.
Firewall-friendly loading
Skins are fetched over a connection that networks blocking plain HTTP still allow.
Single small mixin
The change is confined to one mixin, so the rest of the game is left as it was.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
1.21.x4 of 4 versions with builds

Small single-mixin mod that rewrites http skin texture requests to https. Useful if http connections are blocked by a firewall. May fix broken skin loading. Absolutely zero generative AI was used in the creation of this mod.
