All versions of the SkinCreator plugin that you install on your Minecraft server. The newest version is always available at cdn.skin-creator.com/plugin/skincreator.jar and in the Dashboard. Older versions are listed at cdn.skin-creator.com/plugin/versions.

We recommend always running the newest version. Changes to the Dashboard, the skin editor and the SkinCreator service are listed in the Platform Changelog.

Important

Since version 1.1.0 every server authenticates with its own Server Secret from the Dashboard. Versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 don't send it and can no longer connect to the SkinCreator service. Please update to the newest version.

1.5.2 (2026-11-03)

Download

Quieter log during short outages: When the connection to the SkinCreator service drops for a moment (for example during an update of the service), the plugin reconnects on its own and only logs this as info. A warning appears only if there has been no connection for 2 minutes, then at most every 10 minutes. Once the connection is back, the log shows how long it was gone.
Update notice works again: The plugin tells you in the server log when a new version is available.
Gender-neutral wording in the messages shown when changing another player's skin (applies to new installations; existing message files are not changed).

1.5.1 (2026-11-02)

Download

Faster /skincreator reset: The plugin remembers the player's own skin when they join, so a reset is applied instantly instead of waiting for the Mojang profile services. This also works behind BungeeCord and Velocity.
On offline-mode servers and servers with SkinsRestorer, the player's own skin is loaded in the background on join and cached for a day (plugins/SkinCreator/vanilla-skin-cache).
Shorter timeouts for the profile services. Names without a Mojang account are looked up less often.
Players with offline UUIDs now also get the premium skin of their name behind a proxy in offline mode.

1.5.0 (2026-11-02)

Download

SkinsRestorer is now optional. SkinCreator applies skins itself on Paper, Spigot and Bukkit. If SkinsRestorer is installed, SkinCreator keeps using it. The server log shows which way is used ("Applying skins with ...").
On Spigot and Bukkit, players see their own new skin right away (the player is refreshed without leaving the world).
Offline-mode servers without SkinsRestorer get the premium skin of the player's name from Mojang.
More reliable skin lookups: if one profile service gives no usable answer, the next one is tried.
A skin is no longer applied twice in a row after saving it in the editor.

1.4.0 (2026-11-02)

Download

Support for Minecraft 1.12.2 and newer on Java 8 and newer (before: Java 11).
The skin heads in the wardrobe (/skincreator choose) now also show the skin on Spigot and Bukkit, not only on Paper.
Tested with Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3.

1.3.3 (2026-11-02)

Download

Fix for other plugins that read a player's skin from SkinCreator (SkinService#getSkin(UUID)). In 1.3.2 this method was missing from the jar.

1.3.2 (2026-10-19)

Download

/skincreator default now tells the player when no default skin is configured, or when their own skin takes precedence and they have to run /skincreator reset first.
New messages: Default_Skin_Not_Configured, Default_Skin_Custom_Skin_Selected, Skin_Default_Other_Custom_Skin_Selected. Missing keys in your own language files fall back to the built-in texts.

1.3.1 (2026-10-19)

Download

Permissions are declared in the plugin.yml. Without a permission plugin, all players can now use the commands for themselves; the .other permissions stay with operators. See Permissions.
New permission skin.command.player (all commands for yourself) and skin.command.* (everything, also for other players).

1.3.0 (2026-10-09)

Download

Skins survive service outages: The last applied skin of every player is stored locally (plugins/SkinCreator/skin-cache). If the SkinCreator service can't be reached when a player joins, they still get their skin. Entries older than 90 days are removed.
Faster reconnect to the SkinCreator service after a connection loss.

1.2.1 (2026-10-08)

Download

No changes to the plugin itself.

1.2.0 (2026-10-08)

Download

Item models for the menus: New file custom_model.yml. You can show item models from your own resource pack in the wardrobe. Without entries, the normal Minecraft items are used and no resource pack is needed. See Configuration.

1.1.0 (2026-10-06)

Download

Important

Requires the new Server_Secret in the config.yml. Create it in the Dashboard on your server's page.

New required setting Server_Secret: Each server authenticates with its own secret.
New settings Backend_Url and Frontend_Url (leave them empty) and Debug_Logging for troubleshooting. See Configuration.
More stable connection: Heartbeat every minute, automatic re-registration after connection problems instead of disabling the plugin.
Server_Id and Licence_Id are checked on startup, with a clear error message.
Selecting a skin in the wardrobe is now saved, so the player keeps it on other servers and after a rejoin.
A deleted skin that was in use is replaced by the default skin or the player's own skin.
Commands and menus no longer block the server's main thread; the wardrobe menu can no longer be used to take items.
The help (/skincreator) only shows the commands the player has permission for. The Help list in the language files was replaced by one key per line (Help_Header, Help_Edit, ...). If you had changed the old list, please move your texts to the new keys.
Tab completion only suggests player names to players with the .other permission.
New messages Backend_Unavailable and Normal_Skin_After_Rejoin.

1.0.1 (2026-08-07)

Server default skin: Players without their own skin get the default skin configured in the Dashboard.
New command /skincreator default to receive the default skin again after a reset.

1.0.0 (2026-07-27)

First version for the skin-creator.com service: skins are created in the web editor at app.skin-creator.com and stored centrally, so players have them on all your servers.
Commands /skincreator edit, /skincreator choose and /skincreator reset.

Before 1.0.0

Before the skin-creator.com service, SkinCreator was a standalone plugin with its own web server and asset packs on the Minecraft server. These versions are no longer supported. If you used the standalone plugin, contact us: we can import your players' skins.
