Custom Skin Packs

Custom Skin Packs

Besides the built-in packs (Basic, Medieval, Modern) you can upload your own skin parts, for example clothes in your server's style or items only for VIPs.

Create a pack

  1. Dashboard → Custom packs → create a pack with a name (unique within your tenant) and an optional description.
  2. Add skin parts (see below).
  3. Enable the pack on your servers: Servers → your server → Skins & packs → Skin packs. Players only see packs that are enabled on their server.

Skin parts

Field Description
Display name Name of the part in the editor
Layer Where the part goes, see the list below
Models Classic (Steve, 4 px arms) and/or Slim (Alex, 3 px arms). Upload one image for each selected model. Parts that don't touch the arms can use the same image for both.
Images PNG, exactly 64×64 pixels, at most 1 MB, in the normal Minecraft skin layout. Everything that doesn't belong to the part must be transparent.
Enabled Disabled parts can't be chosen in the editor anymore
Required permissions Optional. The player needs all listed permissions to see the part, e.g. myserver.vip. Leave it empty to make the part available to everyone. See Permissions.
Color palette Optional, lets players recolor the part, see below

Layers

Body, Eyes, Beard, Hairstyle, Hat, Top, Shoulders, Hands, Pants, Shoes, Details

The player chooses one part per layer.

Color palettes

A part can be recolored by the editor: pixels painted in fixed placeholder colors are replaced with the colors of a palette.

  1. Paint the recolorable areas of your image with the placeholder colors from Color Mapping: up to 10 shades for the main color and up to 10 for a second color.
  2. In the skin part, enable Color palette, give it a name and enter the base colors (they replace the main placeholder shades, in the same order) and optionally the alternative colors (they replace the second-color shades). Format #RRGGBB or #RRGGBBAA.

Color palettes are available for all layers except Beard; beards use the hair color.

Changing or deleting parts

If you delete or change a part that players use in their skins, the Dashboard asks what to do with these skins:

  • Delete the affected skins, or
  • Convert them to static skins: they keep their current look but can no longer be edited part by part.
