SkinPatch
by srazkvt
SkinPatch restores player skins and capes on 1.7.2 when OrnitheMC is in use, after the Mojang API calls they relied on changed.
What it does
Skins and capes stopped displaying on 1.7.2 when the game ran with the OrnitheMC mod, because the Mojang API endpoints the vanilla client calls moved after 1.7. SkinPatch rewrites those calls to the new endpoints, so skin and cape requests succeed again and the textures appear in game. Builds are published for Fabric and Quilt, with 1.0.1 for 1.7.2 as the latest Fabric file and 1.0.0+1.7.2 as the latest Quilt file.
Key features
Restored skin display
Player skins load again on 1.7.2 when OrnitheMC is installed, where they previously failed to appear.
Restored cape display
Capes that players have set also appear again, since their requests go through the same rewritten calls.
Rewritten API calls
Calls to the moved Mojang API are transformed into the new endpoints, so no other game files need changing.

What the author says
This mod patches the calls to the Mojang API, which have moved since 1.7, making vanilla calls invalid, and thus making any skin or cape request invalid. This mod transforms the calls to the new ones, allowing skins and capes to display again
