Skin Statues
by Cheddah01
Skin Statues turns a Minecraft player skin into a giant 3D block statue that is built directly in the world, once a player chooses a username and a size.
What it does
The statue is created instantly from the skin, and the build matches the blocks, hair, clothing and colors of the skin. Classic and slim skins are both supported, including the hat and outer layers. Builds are placed gradually, which reduces lag while a large statue is being generated. An undo option restores the original blocks, so a build can be removed.
Commands require operator level 2, and a server plugin can grant players the skinstatues.use permission instead. The mod can be used in a single-player game or on a server. Players who join a server need the mod only if they want the in-game menu; a client installation is otherwise optional. Skin Statues is built for Fabric, requires Fabric API, and the menu is opened with a key that can be changed in the Minecraft Controls settings.
The mod is published for Fabric and Paper, with Fabric files covering 1.21 – 26.3 across 17 release versions. The latest Fabric file is Fabric-1.2.0 for 26.3, released 2026-09-17. The code is not open source; the license is All rights reserved. Public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker.
Key features
Instant statue creation
A statue is generated at once from a player skin, shaped as giant 3D blocks in the world.
Skin layer support
Classic and slim skins are read correctly, including hat and outer layers, with block colors matched to the skin.
Gradual building
Large statues are placed over time instead of in one burst, which keeps the game responsive while building.
Undo and restore
An undo command restores the blocks that were in place before a statue was built.
Menu and key binding
An optional menu lets a player pick a username and size, opened with a key set in the Controls settings.

How it compares
Simple Player Statue is a server-required mod for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering 1.21.9 – 1.21.10, with a client-optional environment and a Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, and it is not open source. Player Skin Extension-ETF is a client-side only Fabric mod for 26.1 – 26.1.2, released under the MIT License and open source, so it changes only the client view and does not build statues.
