About this project

What does Bedrock Skins add?

Bedrock Skins

This mod allows you to load and render skins from Bedrock Edition and Legacy Console Edition Skin Packs natively. It enables fully custom 3D geometry, unique skin animations, as well as high-resolution textures.

Features

  • Native Bedrock Geometry: Natively supports standard Bedrock JSON geometry files, allowing for complex, custom 3D models.
  • Custom Animations & HD Textures: Fully supports unique skin animations and high-resolution textures included in skin packs.
  • Wardrobe Screen: Access the wardrobe screen by pressing K, or via the buttons added directly to both the Main Menu and the Pause Screen. Browse your installed packs and cosmetics, preview skins, and manage your favorites.
  • Paper Doll Render: Features a paper doll render of your currently selected skin in the Main Menu and the Pause Screen, right above the change skin button.
  • Legacy4J Compatibility: Enjoy native support for the Legacy4J mod.

Downloading Skin Packs

Additional skin packs can be downloaded with the following resource pack.

Adding Skin Packs

  • Run the game once to generate the skin_packs folder in your main game directory (e.g., .minecraft/skin_packs).
  • Place your Bedrock Edition skin pack folders directly into this directory.
  • Ensure your pack folder contains a skins.json file. If your skins utilize custom models, a geometry.json file is also required.

    Example: .minecraft/skin_packs/MyCustomPack/skins.json

Adding Cosmetics

  • Run the game once to generate the persona folder in your main game directory (e.g., .minecraft/persona).
  • Ensure your cosmetic folder contains a .meta.json file.
  • Place your Bedrock Edition cosmetic folders directly into this directory.

    Example: .minecraft/persona/steve_shirt/steve_shirt.meta.json
