About this project

What does Quick Skin add?

Quick Skin: Your Look, Your Way!

The Problem This Mod Solves

The default Minecraft skin system is rigid. Changing your look requires leaving the game, you're stuck with standard resolutions, and cool customizations like animated capes are impossible. QuickSkin completely overhauls this experience, giving you total control over your appearance directly in-game with powerful features for both single-player and multiplayer.

🎨 Core Features

The Ultimate Skin Management GUI

Access a powerful and intuitive menu from the Title or Pause screen to manage your entire look.

  • Skin Library: Save skins from other players by username or import your own local files.
  • Model Swapping: Instantly switch between Classic and Slim player models.
  • Drag & Drop: Simply drag skin files onto the menu to import them into your local library.
  • Cape Selector: Choose from a library of built-in capes or your own imported animated/static capes.

High-Definition Skin Engine

Break free from 64x64 limitations! QuickSkin's HD Texture Processor allows you to use high-resolution skins.

  • Automatic Normalization: The mod intelligently handles different skin formats, converting legacy skins (64x32) to the modern format on import.
  • Performance Scaling: HD skins are automatically downsampled for previews and thumbnails to ensure smooth UI performance, with quality settings available in the config.
  • Full Resolution In-Game: Enjoy your detailed HD skins in all their glory in the world.

Animated Cape Engine

Equip dynamic, eye-catching animated capes using standard GIF files.

  • GIF Processing: The mod automatically processes GIFs into an efficient texture atlas for smooth in-game animation.
  • Performance First: Control the maximum FPS, memory usage, and concurrent animations to keep your game running smoothly.
  • Speed Control: Adjust the playback speed of your animated cape in the Cape Selection menu to get the perfect effect.


🔧 Technical Details

  • Compatibility: Forge 1.20.1.
  • Dependencies:
    • GeckoLib (Optional): Highly recommended for the 3D animated player preview. The mod is fully functional without it, but the preview will be disabled.
  • Multiplayer: Full client-server support. The mod syncs skin changes and automatically transfers local texture files to other clients as needed.
  • Data Storage:
    • Local skins/capes are stored in .minecraft/quickskin/uploads/.
    • A cache for processed textures, profiles, and UV data is stored in .minecraft/quickskin_cache/.

🔮 The Result

QuickSkin transforms character customization from a chore into a core part of your gameplay. It empowers you with a suite of professional-grade tools wrapped in a simple, user-friendly interface. Express yourself with HD skins, stand out with animated capes, and share your unique style seamlessly with friends in any multiplayer world.
