About this project

What does CatSkinC add?

🐾CatSkinC – Easy Minecraft Skin Manager

Modrinth CurseForge Downloads
Discord

Upload your own skin from inside the game and have everyone see it instantly — no server-side setup, works on any server.

CatSkinC is a client-side skin mod. Press a key, drop a PNG, and your skin is uploaded to the CatSkinC cloud and pushed live to every other player running the mod. It even gives your character a talking mouth that moves while you speak in voice chat.

This mod is designed for players who frequently switch skins, artists who create high-detail textures, and anyone who wants more control and flexibility over their Minecraft appearance.


Upload example


✨ Features

  • 🎨 In-game skin upload — press K to open the workspace, then drag-and-drop a PNG. No website, no relog.
  • 🌍 Live sync for everyone — when you change your skin, every player with the mod sees it update in real time (Server-Sent Events under the hood).
  • 🗣️ Talking mouths — add optional mouth-open / mouth-close overlay images and your skin's mouth animates while you talk in voice chat.
  • 🖼️ Local library — your uploaded skins are kept in a reusable library with thumbnails, quick re-select, and delete.
  • 👤 Live 3D preview — preview skins on a rotatable player model before you commit, with a dedicated Slim / Wide model toggle.
  • 🧩 Plays nice with other mods — built-in compatibility with Figura, plus soft integration with Simple Voice Chat and Plasmo Voice.
  • 🔒 Secure by design — identity is verified through Mojang, transfers are HTTPS-only with integrity checks, and only premium accounts can upload.

🎮 How it works

  1. Install the mod on your client (and any friends who want to see custom skins).
  2. Join any world or server.
  3. Press K, drag in a PNG skin (64×64 or higher, square, power-of-two).
  4. (Optional) Add mouth-open / mouth-close overlays for the talking effect.
  5. Pick Slim or Wide, hit upload — done. Everyone running the mod sees it live.

Skin data travels through the CatSkinC cloud, not the Minecraft server — so the people you play with sync skins peer-to-peer regardless of what server you're on.


📦 Requirements

This is a client-side mod — you do NOT need to install it on your Minecraft server. Vanilla servers are fine.

Required
Fabric API ✅ Yes
Architectury API ✅ Yes
Account Premium / Mojang account (offline/cracked uploads are rejected)

Supported versions & loaders

Minecraft Loaders
1.21.1 Fabric, NeoForge
1.20.1 Fabric, Forge

Players without the mod simply see you with your normal vanilla skin — nothing breaks for them.


🔌 Optional integrations (install only if you want them)

  • Simple Voice Chat / Plasmo Voice — drives the talking-mouth animation from your real voice activity.
  • Figura — fully compatible. If you have an active Figura avatar, CatSkinC steps aside and lets Figura render your character, so the two never fight over your skin.
  • Emotecraft — detected and supported alongside emotes.

All of these are soft dependencies: if they aren't installed, CatSkinC just runs without those features.


❓ FAQ

Do I need this on the server?
No. It's purely client-side. Install it on each player's game.

Will players without the mod see my skin?
No — they'll see your default vanilla skin. Only players with CatSkinC installed see custom skins.

Does it work with shaders / Figura / voice mods?
Yes. Figura takes priority when you have an avatar loaded, and voice mods power the mouth animation.

My skin won't upload?
Make sure you're on a premium (paid) Minecraft account and your image is a square PNG sized to a power of two (64, 128, 256, …).
