CatSkinC

## 🐾CatSkinC – Easy Minecraft Skin Manager [](https://modrinth.com/mod/catskinc)  [](https://discord.gg/PewhYEehFQ) **Upload your own skin from inside the game and have everyone see it instantly — no server-side setup, works on any server.** CatSkinC is a **client-side** skin mod. Press a key, drop a PNG, and your skin is uploaded to the CatSkinC cloud and pushed live to every other player running the mod. It even gives your character a **talking mouth** that moves while you speak in voice chat. This mod is designed for players who frequently switch skins, artists who create high-detail textures, and anyone who wants more control and flexibility over their Minecraft appearance. ---  --- ## ✨ Features - **🎨 In-game skin upload** — press **`K`** to open the workspace, then drag-and-drop a PNG. No website, no relog. - **🌍 Live sync for everyone** — when you change your skin, every player with the mod sees it update in real time (Server-Sent Events under the hood). - **🗣️ Talking mouths** — add optional *mouth-open* / *mouth-close* overlay images and your skin's mouth animates while you talk in voice chat. - **🖼️ Local library** — your uploaded skins are kept in a reusable library with thumbnails, quick re-select, and delete. - **👤 Live 3D preview** — preview skins on a rotatable player model before you commit, with a dedicated **Slim / Wide** model toggle. - **🧩 Plays nice with other mods** — built-in compatibility with **Figura**, plus soft integration with **Simple Voice Chat** and **Plasmo Voice**. - **🔒 Secure by design** — identity is verified through Mojang, transfers are HTTPS-only with integrity checks, and only premium accounts can upload. --- ## 🎮 How it works 1. Install the mod on **your** client (and any friends who want to see custom skins). 2. Join any world or server. 3. Press **`K`**, drag in a PNG skin (64×64 or higher, square, power-of-two). 4. *(Optional)* Add mouth-open / mouth-close overlays for the talking effect. 5. Pick **Slim** or **Wide**, hit upload — done. Everyone running the mod sees it live. Skin data travels through the **CatSkinC cloud**, not the Minecraft server — so the people you play with sync skins peer-to-peer regardless of what server you're on. --- ## 📦 Requirements **This is a client-side mod — you do NOT need to install it on your Minecraft server.** Vanilla servers are fine. | | Required | |---|---| | [**Fabric API**](https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api) | ✅ Yes | | [**Architectury API**](https://modrinth.com/mod/architectury-api) | ✅ Yes | | **Account** | Premium / Mojang account (offline/cracked uploads are rejected) | ### Supported versions & loaders | Minecraft | Loaders | |---|---| | **1.21.1** | Fabric, NeoForge | | **1.20.1** | Fabric, Forge | > Players without the mod simply see you with your normal vanilla skin — nothing breaks for them. --- ## 🔌 Optional integrations (install only if you want them) - [**Simple Voice Chat**](https://modrinth.com/plugin/simple-voice-chat) / [**Plasmo Voice**](https://modrinth.com/plugin/plasmo-voice) — drives the talking-mouth animation from your real voice activity. - [**Figura**](https://modrinth.com/mod/figura) — fully compatible. If you have an active Figura avatar, CatSkinC steps aside and lets Figura render your character, so the two never fight over your skin. - [**Emotecraft**](https://modrinth.com/plugin/emotecraft) — detected and supported alongside emotes. All of these are **soft dependencies**: if they aren't installed, CatSkinC just runs without those features. --- ## ❓ FAQ **Do I need this on the server?** No. It's purely client-side. Install it on each player's game. **Will players without the mod see my skin?** No — they'll see your default vanilla skin. Only players with CatSkinC installed see custom skins. **Does it work with shaders / Figura / voice mods?** Yes. Figura takes priority when you have an avatar loaded, and voice mods power the mouth animation. **My skin won't upload?** Make sure you're on a premium (paid) Minecraft account and your image is a square PNG sized to a power of two (64, 128, 256, …). --- ## 🔧Compatibility - **Minecraft:** Java Edition (tested on 1.20.x & 1.21.x) - **Loaders:** Fabric,Forge,NeoForge - **Environment:** Client-side only --- ## ℹ️Notes - Skin data is managed via **Cloud** (stored and retrieved online) - Client-only mod, no server-side installation required - One player = one skin file (but can store unlimited file) --- ## Community & Development CatSkinC is community-friendly and open source.
