Properties
Skins are divided into areas that act as the surface area of the character (for instance, the front head area, left leg area, etc.). A skin will only allow solid color; transparency is not allowed on the skin file except on the second layer, which is transparent by default; playing offline, pixels can be left free resulting in "holes" in the skin. If a skin with transparent pixels on the first layer is uploaded, the transparent pixels will render as black pixels in-game. The second layer can be used to give the character glasses, hats, or other accessories (even a bigger head).

Computer edition
A player can only change their character`s skin if they have purchased Minecraft. This is done on the Profile page by uploading a valid .png
image file (note: .jpg
files will be accepted), which will then replace the default skin.
Skins also have the option of having 3 or 4 pixel wide arms, which can be changed on the profile page as well.

It is located in the ../.minecraft/versions/(current version) directory, can also be changed and replaced via a resource pack, but the effects will only be visible to players using the resource pack, and will affect all players with the default skin.
Console Edition
This page would benefit from the addition of one or more images. Please add a suitable image, then remove this notice. The specific instructions are: Add the remaining Alex skins to the table below. |
There are currently 16 default skin types (with the exception of the skin packs), 8 of which are based on the Steve model and the other 8 based on the Alex model, wearing different outfits and skin colors. The skins are available to be chosen in the `Change Skin` area of Help & Options. The Console Edition allows transparent skins, because the player cannot create their own skins. This prevents issues with completely transparent skin users "haunting" other players. The player can add custom skins to the console editions via hacking; be that as it may, this will void the warranty of the console, and the player risks a ban from either Xbox Live or PlayStation Network for an illicitly modded game or console.

Creating a skin
Many players want to have a new look, something which describes them. While you can always search the internet for a previously made skin, many players prefer to create their own.
A custom skin is a great way to personalize your player model and can be done either by using a variety of community-made skin editors The contents of this page are not supported by Mojang AB, the Minecraft Wiki, the Minecraft IRC channel or the Minecraft Forums. Name Description Date Version Platforms Link Latest Compatible Release Source available Programming language , or by editing the "steve.png" file manually with an image editor like Photoshop, GIMP, Paint.net or similar image editors. The "steve.png" file can be downloaded from here and a playerskin can be downloaded from http://skins.minecraft.net/MinecraftSkins/USERNAME.png where "USERNAME" is replaced by the playername. When editing the "steve.png" file manually, be sure to keep the original image dimensions and make the background of the skin (the unused pixels) completely transparent. Else, Minecraft may fail to recognize the skin as intended.
Alternatively, some people find it easier to use a program, either downloadable or in-browser, which will allow them to have a live view of their character on a three dimensional model as they are editing the skin. For instance, a program called Skincraft will further assist players by providing them with a wide variety of pre-made selections (such as hats, boots, sweaters, etc.), to give the skin creator exactly what they want, even if the creator has little to no artistic skill.
After making a custom skin, either by using a skin editor or by editing the "steve.png" file directly, one will still need to upload the .png file at the Profile page of www.minecraft.net before the skin is applied. Once completed, start up Minecraft and enjoy your new skin! Other players in multiplayer will also be able to see your skin. Note that you will not be able to see your custom skin if you are not logged in or if playing offline.
Note: the 1.8 templates can be used for pre-1.8 skins on the skin server. Only the top half of the image is used, e.g. not the individual arms and legs on the bottom, and no overlay on any layer except the head. If the skins is in resource pack for 1.7, you must use the old system exactly.
