    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.

    Still the best skin plugin in here. Lightweight and works perfectly fine. I hope that one day we get an update on spigotmc so more people will know about it.

    This is a very nice skin plugin. I have been using it for many years. This is the only plugin of its kind that supports displaying skins on Dynmap. Check out other plugins from the developer, they are also good and some are unique. Support him if possible. Thank you very much!

    I usually don't leave ratings on resources, but this resource is so good listen:
    The plugin itself works perfect.
    You are able to go to your settings and change how many layers there are on the skin which is amazing.
    And if it doesn't work /skinupdate will always set you.
    I highly recommend it if you just wanna remember your disguise or just for any purpose whether it's a rank perk, or whether you wanna troll with it.

    Doesn't older skins work. The uploading system to upload skins doesn't work anymore. But it's still a great plugin. You just have to use skins that someone else is currently wearing on their profile.

    Also if the username is only 2 letters, this plugin won't recognize their username.

      Please provide me the data for the older skins and the username of a valid Mojang username with 2 letters and I will adjust that. Mojang changed the data format for their skins a while back. ChangeSkin had to comply these changes. I tested it with older skins. However I could miss something. It would be great to have that data from you to reproduce it.

    It works, but its not possible to use it only on Bukkit when you use a Bungee Cord Server. Please change this. Then you will get a 5 Stars

      That's not possible. BungeeCord needs to access the skin directly for it's features. It completely ignores the skin sent by the Spigot server. If ChangeSkin on BungeeCord is not used, it will only use the skin retrieved from an online mode login verification.

      Do you configured the BungeeCord permissions in the bungee config.yml?

    This is such a great compliment for a server if you want people with default skins to have something much cooler. 10/10 would recommend to everyone

    I have used this plugin for a while and it works really well!
    only thing I am wondering right now is how to install this on bungee cord server because I have decided to change my server into that. I have tried to put this in the plugin folder of bungee cord but there was an error and it always disabled the plugin. If there is anything that I need to do pls help me:) thank you

      This error means that there is no MySQL/MariaDB server responding to your database configuration. Make sure such an instance is running and listening on the configured port.

    Great bit of software that seems to do away with a lot of the bloat the comes with the other one (SR).
    Dev is friendly and keeps it update.
