Skin Grabber

by Now this is crazy

With Skin Grabber installed, a player can run a command that fetches the skin of the nearest player and prints its details in the console.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.16 – 26.2

What it does

The mod is a client-side utility for Fabric that works on the player's own game and needs nothing on the server. Running its command grabs the skin of the closest player and shows a clickable chat link with that player's name, which opens the skin in a browser. Fabric API is required and must be installed beside it. Builds are published for 1.16 – 26.2 under the MIT License, and the code is open source.

Key features

  1. Nearest skin lookup

    A command retrieves the skin of the player standing closest to the one who runs it.

  2. Clickable skin link

    The chat message names the player and carries a link that opens the skin URL when clicked.

  3. Decoded skin data

    The console prints the full decoded data, including the skin URL, cape URL, equipped timestamp, profile ID and profile name.

Questions

Does Skin Grabber need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency and must be installed alongside Skin Grabber on Fabric.

Does the server need Skin Grabber?

No. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it.

Where does the decoded skin data appear?

After the command runs, the full decoded skin data is written to the game console.

What the author says

The name of the player will be displayed in the chat, and the URL which you can click to open. Additionally, check the console after running the command for the full decoded skin data. This includes the skin URL, cape URL (if one is currently equipped), timestamp, profile id, and profile name.
