How do I install Histoskins?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on Modrinth — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

What Minecraft version does Histoskins work with?

The listing gives Minecraft 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

Histoskins

by kerbal_official · on Modrinth

[DISCONTINUED] Mod that allows users to see Histolauncher's custom skins & capes in Multiplayer servers for clients 1.20.2 and above.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

As of Histolauncher b1.4.2, this mod is no longer required to load Histolauncher skins and capes in Multiplayer servers. The launcher has found and fixed the problem.

This Minecraft Mod allows users to see Histolauncher's custom skins & capes in Multiplayer servers for Minecraft clients 1.20.2 and above.

This solves an issue with the new skin rework Mojang did to 1.20.2, which causes skins & capes to completely fail to load on Multiplayer servers for Histolauncher users due to stricter signature verifications.

This mod only affects Multiplayer server or LAN worlds!

Forge version is coming soon!

Works both for Histolauncher and Official launcher.
