Do you miss some of the good old classic skins from Legacy Edition? Look no further!
Back For Bedrock is a skin pack I developed over the summer that revives all the skin packs from Legacy Console Edition by 4J Studios that never made it to the Bedrock marketplace.
Only a handful of the Legacy Edition skin packs made it back for Bedrock while majority of them became forgotten. In addition to Legacy Edition skin packs, I've also thrown in a skin pack that was exclusive to Java as well as some bonus skins!
Complete skin pack list:
- Default Skin Pack (Build 1.66.0033.0) (July 13, 2012) (This was before controversial changes were made to the skins)
- Summer of Arcade Promotional Skin Pack (July 18, 2012)
- Halloween Charity Skin Pack (October 26, 2012)
- Skin Pack 4 (March 13, 2013)
- Skin Pack 5 (July 31, 2013)
- Marvel Avengers Skin Pack (December 23, 2013)
- Marvel Spider-Man Skin Pack (April 30, 2014)
- Skin Pack 6 (June 26, 2014)
- Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy Skin Pack (September 5, 2014)
- Doctor Who Skins Volume I Skin Pack (October 8, 2014)
- Doctor Who Skins Volume II Skin Pack (December 18, 2014)
- The Simpsons Skin Pack (February 27, 2015)
- Striding Hero Skin Pack (December 14, 2020)
- Bonus Skins
445 skins in total!
I wanted to make this whole skin pack accurate to Legacy Edition's skin roster, so for extra detail:
- All skins in each skin pack are listed EXACTLY as they were on console edition
- Each skin pack is listed in the pack in chronological order from when they originally released
- Every skin has the exact same name as they were on console edition. I only had to shorten a few
Short Q/A:
Did I make any changes to the original skins?
Yes. It was mandatory because skins in Legacy Edition were formatted slightly differently from Bedrock Edition. However, the textures are about the same. In addition to formatting, a handful of the skins from Legacy Edition had custom models which is unfortunately impossible in Bedrock custom skin packs. To circumvent the skins looking askew, I had to compensate with their textures.
Will you add the birthday/Minecon skin packs?
No. I would only do this in a separate skin pack. Also, I will not be adding any skins or skin packs that are currently in the Marketplace.
What happened to the capes on some of the Legacy Edition skins?
Custom capes are unfortunately impossible on Bedrock Edition.
If you find any bugs with the skins, please let me know!
