Are you puzzled by losing your custom skins in Minecraft servers runing in offline mode? Now you can easily get them back with the help of Blessing Skin!

Blessing Skin is a web application where you can upload, manage and share your custom skins & capes! Unlike modifying a resource pack, everyone in the game will see the different skins of each other (of course they should register at the same website too).

Blessing Skin is an open-source project written in PHP, which means you can deploy it freely on your own web server! Here is a live demo.

  • Detailed option pages
  • Many tweaks for a better UI/UX
• Security
  • Support many secure password hash algorithms
  • Email verification for registration (available as plugin)
  • Score system for preventing evil requests
• Incredibly extensible
  • Plenty of plugins available
  • Integration with Authme/CrazyLogin/Discuz
  • Support custom Yggdrasil API authentication

Blessing Skin has only a few system requirements. In most cases, these PHP extensions are already enabled.
