Important SECURITY information
- The plugin does not steal your minecraft account. Check the sources yourself or ask any developer of your real trust to do that.
- You should be careful with other plugins as it is always possible that they steal the login information out of the source file (i can't remove the possibility)
- Just download this plugin from this page (or ci.janmm14.de) to be safe.
There are no plans to re-enable automatic skin uploading currently. There is just a very small chance I will handle bugs of this resource.
Features:
- Can change every player's skin (just on your server while this plugin is running)
- You and everyone else are able to see the skin!
- Can download skins from urls (requires input of minecraft.net account)
- Can set the skin of any player to any player.
- Highly configurable.
- Supports all plugins changing the player's tab name.
- Once you have prepared a skin for usage, its data is cached and does not need to be reloaded from mojang server-side.
- You can create a cache of many skins which likely never expires.
- The name above the user's head stays the same.
- Seems to create little to no lag.
- Getting a player's skin data is limited by mojang: once per minute per player per ip:
- Supports proxies to make the process to its fastest (currently ~35 seconds for one skin cache process with upload)
- You have to input at least one minecraft.net account (email, playername, password, uuid) in order for downloading a skin from an url to work.
- Preparing a skin can take some minutes (if your upload is not too bad)
- BungeeCord is supported, but not as a bungeecord plugin yet.
Just type in /customskins, /skinchange, /changeskin, /cs or /sc to see the command help.
Installation instructions
Required:
