[SMS] ShowMySkin!
by karaskiras
With ShowMySkin! installed, a 3D model of the player's own character can appear on screen as a webcam-style HUD element, drawn from the current skin and pose.
What it does
The HUD window shows a live 3D preview of the player's character, and its shape, position and size can be set in a drag-and-drop editor. A nameplate with custom text can sit above or below the window. The window can stay visible at all times, or only appear while the character is moving, sprinting, sneaking, swimming, flying with elytra, riding, or while a chosen key is held. Camera angle, pitch, zoom, scale and offset can be adjusted, and the preview can show an upright pose, the real pose, or a head or face view. Presets such as Webcam, Dark, Minimal, Doll, Portrait, Full Body and Bedrock Classic give a starting layout. Changes in the settings screen show in the preview at once.
The mod runs on the client only and never changes skins for other players or the server. It requires Fabric API and can use Mod Menu for its settings screen. Builds are published for Fabric and target Minecraft 1.21.8, released under the MIT License. The project is not open source.
