Description from the author on Modrinth

SkinShuffle

SkinShuffle is a mod that allows you to change, store and customise your skin in-game. It also allows you to change your skin without leaving the server as long as the mod is installed on the server.

SkinShuffle integrates with Mojang's online API to change skins, if you do not have a Minecraft account, SkinShuffle WILL NOT work, you will receive NO SUPPORT from me for using a pirated version of Minecraft.

Skins are stored in Skin Presets, these presets can be created from the following sources:

  • Texture URLs
  • Usernames
  • UUIDs
  • Files
  • In-game textures (Identifiers)

Supported Versions

Only the latest stable release (26.1) and latest beta release (26.3) are supported.

Server-Side Support

When SkinShuffle is installed on the server, you can change your skin in-game without having to relog. SkinShuffle will refresh your skin for you, and for other players instantly - even for players that do not have the mod on their client.

Got a Paper/Spigot/Bukkit server? Consider using the Skin Shuffle Bridge plugin to allow players on your server to hot-swap skins!

Alternatively, SkinShuffle is supported by SkinRestorer (fabric+neoforge+forge) if your server has that installed, players using SkinShuffle will be able to quickly change their skins without needing to rejoin!

We have massive plans to expand server-side support in the future:

  • Skin Changing Commands that allow vanilla clients to change their skins.
  • Skin Preset Sharing

Client-Side Support

SkinShuffle works right out the bat for clients! Browse, create and edit skin presets in the Carousel and Edit Preset screens that can be accessed via Mod Menu or through the widget on the pause screen and the title screen.

When you start the game for the first time with SkinShuffle, it will automatically create a preset from your current skin and set it as the main preset! Your currently chosen preset will be shown on the widget.

Carousel Screen

The carousel is where all your skins will be stored for future use! You can create, edit and delete your presets.

The carousel screen has two modes: Compact and Carousel

You can customize every preset to your own desire in the edit screen.

Edit Screen

The edit screen allows you to change the actual texture of the skin, the model type and the name of the preset.

For the future, there are plans to add cape and ear customization to this screen.

Configuration

Every part of SkinShuffle is customizable thanks to [YACL]()'s powerful configuration screen.

You can customize the speed that skins rotate in the carousel, to where they should follow your cursor, and where the preview widget should show.
