NCL Skins 1.4.0-beta.1

Mod Changelog

⚠️ The library and interface settings use an updated data format. Existing data is supported, but older mod versions may not be able to read it after it is saved in this version. If you plan to return to an older version, back up your data before updating!

Added

• Favorite looks

  • Star your favorite looks and keep them in a separate Favorites section without duplicating them among your other looks
  • Collapse Favorites and Your looks separately or together. Their state is remembered between visits

• Preview and adjust looks before applying

  • Inspect the selected look in a large interactive preview, rotate it, and zoom in or out. After joining a world, the preview also displays Customizable Player Models (CPM) models and animations when the mod is installed
  • Toggle the outer layers of regular skins directly in My looks. Changes to the selected look are saved only when you apply it. With no look selected, the controls update Minecraft's skin layer settings
  • Inspect available capes from different providers and switch between cape and elytra views. Inspection does not replace the cape saved in the look

• Access CPM accessories from Providers

  • Open My looks directly from the CPM row on the Capes tab in Providers to inspect the model's built-in cape and elytra

Changed

• The My looks screen

  • Two areas replace the horizontal strip: a large preview on the left and a compact, vertically scrolling card grid on the right. The column count adapts to the window width
  • Search and adding looks have moved to the top toolbar. Each card has an expandable menu for favorites, editing, duplication, and deletion
  • Newer looks appear before older ones within each section. Opening the screen reveals the active look without moving it to the start of the list
  • The active look has a green outline, while the selection waiting to be applied has a blue one. Keyboard focus is shown separately and does not linger on cards after mouse clicks

• Selecting and applying looks

  • Selecting a card changes only the preview. Apply saves the prepared changes, makes the selected look active, and closes the screen
  • Back and Escape discard unapplied changes, while Reset restores the currently active look without closing the screen.
  • When there are no changes, Done closes the screen without waiting for the network. If needed, the mod resumes unfinished synchronization of the active look with your account

NCL Skins 1.3.0

Mod Changelog

Added

• Customizable Player Models support

  • Use skins with CPM models in saved looks and switch between them without restarting the game
  • Preview models and their animations in the look editor after joining a world (the main menu shows the base skin)
  • Get warnings about damaged CPM data and potential conflicts with active Fresh Moves and Just Expressions facial animations
  • Customizable Player Models must be installed to display the models

• CPM model imports

  • Import .cpmmodel and .cpmproject files from your device or a link without manually exporting them to a skin first
  • If a model needs a base skin, choose one during import, then preview and save the finished look
  • If the model data cannot be embedded in the skin, NCL Skins automatically uploads it to CPM Paste. This requires a licensed Minecraft account. The look depends on the published model remaining available

• CPM capes and elytra

  • Set the priority of capes and elytra built into a model relative to other providers
  • Use a regular cape instead of CPM accessories while keeping the model and its animations
  • Inspect available accessories in the Embedded collection after joining a world without changing the look's saved assignments

• MinecraftCapes capes

  • Use MinecraftCapes capes for yourself and other players without installing the separate MinecraftCapes mod
  • HD textures and animations are supported. Cape enchantment glint also works with Wavey Capes
  • Set the provider's priority and open the service's account page directly from Providers

• Animated capes and more HD formats

  • Import GIF animations and PNGs with vertically stacked frames. Up to 64 frames are supported, with frame sizes of 64×32, 128×64, 256×128, 512×256, 1024×512, and 2048×1024 pixels
  • Use these capes in resource pack collections and save them in looks with their full animation
  • Thumbnails play the animation on hover, while the full player preview plays it continuously
  • The new HD and animated cape formats require NCL Skins 1.3.0. These capes do not appear in older versions

• Embedded Sneaky Capes previews

  • Preview the selected skin's cape in a separate editor card, even without joining a world
  • Inspecting the cape does not change the look's saved assignments

• Outer-layer controls on the providers screen

  • Toggle the head, body, and leg outer layers when the provider configuration makes the look editor unavailable
  • Changes apply to the player immediately and are saved in Minecraft settings without overwriting the saved look

Changed

• Provider refresh
  • When a row is selected, the button refreshes only that source. With no row selected, it refreshes all enabled sources in the current tab
  • Refreshing no longer blocks the entire screen. Other available actions remain usable while the source loads

Fixed

• Fixed Sneaky Capes rendering on other players and embedded cape recovery after reconnecting or refreshing appearance state
• An unavailable cape no longer discards a prepared custom skin waiting to be applied
• Fixed abrupt changes in model lighting when moving the cursor in menus and previews
• Selection and keyboard focus outlines no longer extend beyond the scrollable provider list
