Blinking Skin Mod [Forge 1.8.9 - 1.11.2]
This modification allows you to automatically toggle your whole or only certain skin overlay parts in configurable intervals.
How does it work?
Minecraft introduced for every body part a second skin layer ("Alex" skin model) in version 1.8. You can configure this modification to toggle certain (or even all) second skin layers in certain time intervals. This will make the skin look as if it is blinking (/ animated).
Body parts which can blink: Cape, Hat, Jacket, Left Sleeve, Right Sleeve, Left Pants Leg, Right Pants Leg
How does it look like?


Do other players need to have this modification installed to be able to see my skin blinking?
No! As stated above, this modification makes use of a Minecraft vanilla feature. Therefore other players don't need this modification to see your skin blinking. However, they have to use at least version 1.8 or newer.
Requirements
- You need at least Minecraft Forge 1.8.9 or above.
- You need a Minecraft "Alex" skin with second skin layers.
- Other Minecraft players need at least Minecraft 1.8.9 or above in order to see your skin blinking.

An appeal to users of this modification
Please do not use quickly changing colors or harmful patterns. This might annoy other persons and destroy the whole intention of this modification. In addition, this can even trigger seizures, epilepsy, headaches or other health consequences. Please be so kind and respect this.
Warning for users of this modification
The more often an enabled skin layer blinks, the more packets are sent to the server. Please be careful when setting configuration values. You may be banned from a server if you set the configuration values too low or just by using this modification.
Warning for server owners and persons with health problems
Abusing this modification might trigger seizures, epilepsy, headaches or other health consequences.
If you are a server owner and seeing a player on your server abusing this modification by using quickly changing colors, harmful patterns or similar, please support us by taking action (e. g. forcing the player to disable it or banning the player). I might develop a Spigot server plugin, which will allow server owners to control the blink rate of skins or even completely disable it.
