About this project

What does OpenMCSkins add?

OpenMCSkins

A custom skin loader mod that allows
players to use skins not only from the official skin system, but also from:

  • Local storage
  • A custom server that you can download in the GitHub repository
  • The ely.by skins, because its API is identical to that used in custom servers
  • Optifine capes
  • Cloaks+ capes
  • LabyMod capes
  • MinecraftCapes capes (even animated!!!)
  • 5ZigReborn capes
  • Cosmetica capes
  • TLauncher skins
  • Mantle capes
  • Wynntils capes
  • Meteor client capes
  • LiquidBounce client capes

Dependencies

And it all works pretty fast because the mod uses multi-threading.

This mod is not affiliated with Mojang, Optifine, LabyMod, MinecraftCapes mod, Cloaks+, TLauncher, ely.by, 5ZigReborn, Mantle, Wynntils, Meteor client, LiquidBounce client or Cosmetica mod
