SkinCreator
Let your players design their own skins in a web editor and wear them on your server.

Important: This plugin is free, but it needs a SkinCreator licence to work.
The skin editor, the skin storage and the skin signing run on the SkinCreator service (skin-creator.com). Without a valid licence the plugin does not connect, and players keep their normal Minecraft skin. You can try everything for 14 days at no cost (Trial plan). See Requirements below.
 
Features
- Web editor: /skincreator edit gives the player a personal link. In the browser they build a skin from hairstyles, clothes, accessories and colors, or upload their own skin file, and preview it animated in 3D.
- Apply with one click: Saving with "apply" puts the skin on the player in-game right away. Everyone on the server sees it.
- Wardrobe: /skincreator choose opens an in-game menu with all of the player's skins (with head previews). One click switches the skin.
- Reset and default skin: /skincreator reset brings back the normal Minecraft skin. Optionally you set a server default skin that players get until they choose their own.
- Your own skin parts: Choose which skin packs are available, upload your own skin parts and restrict parts to ranks via permissions.
- Skin slots: Limit how many skins a player may create, and give more slots via permissions (e.g. for VIP ranks).
- Admin dashboard: Manage servers, licences, skin limits, branding and team members at dashboard.skin-creator.com. Changes apply without a restart.
- Networks: Works in BungeeCord and Velocity networks (install it on every backend server). A player's skins are available on all your servers.
- No SkinsRestorer needed: SkinCreator applies skins itself. If SkinsRestorer 15+ is installed, SkinCreator uses it.
- EULA-compliant: Skins are cosmetic, so you can offer SkinCreator as a perk for your players.
- Configurable messages and permission names, English and German included.
 
Supported servers
- Paper, Spigot and Bukkit, Minecraft 1.12.2 up to 26.3 (Java 8 or newer, whatever your server version needs).
- Every release is tested on real servers: Paper, Spigot and Bukkit with 1.12.2, 1.16.5, 1.17.1, 1.18.2, 1.20.4, 1.20.6, 1.21.4, 1.21.10, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3.
- Install it on the backend servers, not on the BungeeCord/Velocity proxy.
 
Requirements
- A SkinCreator licence. Trial: 14 days free. Paid plans depend on the number of servers and concurrent players, see skin-creator.com.
- An outgoing internet connection from your server to api.skin-creator.com (port 443, encrypted).
- Optional: SkinsRestorer, PlaceholderAPI, GSit.
 
Installation
- Choose a plan or the free Trial at skin-creator.com. You receive an email to set up your dashboard account.
- In the dashboard, create your tenant, activate your licence and create a server. Copy the server secret right away, it is shown only once.
- Put the SkinCreator jar into the plugins folder and start the server once.
- Enter Server_Id, Licence_Id and Server_Secret in plugins/SkinCreator/config.yml. The tab Plugin & setup on your server's page in the dashboard has a button that copies all three values.
- Restart the server. The dashboard shows Connected.
- Run /skincreator edit in-game and create your first skin.

Data and privacy
To work, the plugin connects to the SkinCreator backend (api.skin-creator.com) and sends your server and licence IDs and the UUIDs and names of online players. Saved skins are signed through MineSkin so Minecraft can display them. On startup the plugin checks cdn.skin-creator.com for a newer version and only logs a message; it never downloads or replaces files. Anonymous bStats statistics can be turned off in the config. Details: Privacy policy.
If the SkinCreator service can't be reached, your server keeps running normally and players see a short notice when they use a command.
