Skin Rendering

Skin rendering

Wawel Auth supplies skins and capes: for every player, from their own provider, including HD skins and animated capes. It does not draw them. Which mod draws players decides how a skin looks:

Client mods	Players are drawn by	What it looks like
Wawel Auth	Vanilla	Vanilla's 64x32 view of each skin: no slim arms and no outer layers on arms, body and legs
Wawel Auth + Salamander	Salamander	Modern 64x64 skins with slim arms, flat or 3D skin layers, see-through skin pixels, layers hidden under armor, 3D hat layers on player heads
Wawel Auth + SimpleSkinBackport	SimpleSkinBackport	Its extruded layers; Wawel Auth hands it each skin's slim arms. Part toggles are not applied
Wawel Auth + SimpleSkinBackport + Salamander	Salamander	As with Salamander alone; SimpleSkinBackport's own player drawing stays off
Wawel Auth + Ears	Ears	Ears' modern skins and features
Wawel Auth + Even Mo' Bends	Even Mo' Bends, layers by Salamander	Animated limbs with Salamander's skin layers

Salamander, Even Mo' Bends and SimpleSkinBackport do not need Wawel Auth. Without it, skins come from vanilla's download.

The skin layer settings (3D layers, see-through pixels, skulls) are in Salamander's config. Wawel Auth's part toggles, what each player shows of their own skin, are kept and synced by Wawel Auth and applied by Salamander.

Clients without Wawel Auth, using authlib-injector, only see the skins of the Wawel Auth server's own accounts: other providers sign their skins with keys those clients do not trust.
