Skinpls
by sammko
Skinpls lets offline-mode servers display custom player skins for Fabric players on Minecraft 1.19.2 and 1.19.3.
What it does
Skinpls gives custom skins to players on offline servers, where skins normally fall back to the default look. It is a server-side only mod, so players join without installing anything. Builds exist for 1.19.2 and 1.19.3, and the latest Fabric file is version 1.1 for 1.19.3, released on 2022-10-22. The project is open source under the MIT License.

What the author says
Use skins on offline servers. Supports skins from Mojang API (enter a username to get skin) or mineskin.org. Be warned, this mod is basically a prototype. While it works, it's not polished at all and graceful error-handling is non-existent.
