skinvault
SkinVault is a Fabric client mod for saving favorite skin URLs locally, switching between them, and pushing a chosen skin with a single click.
What it does
Players store skin links under distinct names in a local list, so a favorite look can be kept and reused without searching for the source again. A built-in search bar filters the list as the player types, and each entry can be added, edited or deleted through a custom modal window. Applying a stored entry sends the skin update command immediately, which makes switching between saved looks a single click.
The mod is a client-side configuration tool, so no server footprint is required and a server owner does not need to install it for a player to use it. It requires Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin and oωo (owo-lib), and it targets Fabric Loader for 1.21.11 only. The code is open source under the Apache License 2.0, and the source code is public.
