McSkinExtractor
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.16. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.16–1.16.5 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
Have you needed to get your minecraft skins from your launcher but lost the original files? This mod reads from the launcher_skins.json, decodes, and exports your skins!
To use it, put the mod into the mods folder then launch the game. Click options, go to Skin Customization, then click export. It will export into a folder in your minecraft directory called skins.
This is more of a personal project than something I intended on releasing, so there could possible be some bugs.
