Selfskin
I don't know my version or loader
Selfskin
Change any skin fully client-side!
Simply put a file in .minecraft/selfskins/<username>.png or .minecraft/selfskins/slim/<username>.png to override a player's skin (it works with offline players too).
Skins automatically update each time a player enters the world (as of 1.1.0). To change skins while a player is in the world, use /selfskin:reload. The command accepts a username to only reload one player's skin.
This mod will change the skins you see on players, logged in or not, without other players seeing the changes. Thus, it does not do the same as changing alex.png and steve.png in a resource pack.
Selfskin tries to work with as many versions as possible on fabric and quilt. Forge support may come eventually as this mod is really small and simple. Requests for version ports are welcome. This mod also tries to be compatible with mods like Ears.
