About ChangeSkin

Description


This plugin allows your players to change their skins by command. These skins have to be downloaded from Mojang, because Minecraft clients only accept from Mojang signed skins. But you can choose every skin that another minecraft user currently has or had.

Moreover it's possible to set a custom standard skin. If you want to, this plugin can set this standard skin for all players who still have the default steve or alex skin.

If you like the project, leave a star on GitHub and contribute there.

Development-Builds

This plugin also supports newer Minecraft versions and is still updated. I moved away from doing fixed releases. Instead you can use development builds that are build directly after a change. Click on the left side on the build to download it or remove "changes" part of the URL to get always the latest.
