Click **OPEN SKIN FOLDER** from the in-game `H` menu, or navigate directly to `config/stalker/skins/`. 2. Place your `.png` skin inside this folder (e.g., `my_stalker_skin.png`). 3. Open the `H` menu in-game and type your exact file name into the **Skin PNG** box. 4. Click **SAVE SETTINGS**. ### 🟦 For the Server Plugin (Bukkit/Spigot/Paper) *Custom skins require the **[Citizens plugin](https://ci.citizensnpcs.co/job/citizens2/)** to be installed.* 1. Drop the Citizens plugin into your server's `plugins` folder and restart. 2. Place your custom PNG skin inside: `plugins/CustomEntity/skins/` 3. Rename the skin exactly to: `stalker.png` *(Note: If Citizens is not installed, custom skins will not work and it will fall back to the default appearance).* --- ## 📋 Commands & Permissions **Base Commands:** - `/ce spawn` - Manually spawn the entity. - `/ce reload` - Reload configurations. - `/ce removeall` - Despawn all active Stalkers. - `/ce whitelist ` - Manage who can be targeted (Hunt whitelist) or who is protected (Safe whitelist). **Fabric Configuration Commands:** Change the Stalker's name color via command using Hex values (`#RRGGBB`): - `/ce config name-color #FF0000` (Red) - `/ce config name-color #00FF00` (Green) - `/ce config name-color #FFFFFF` (White) --- ## 📦 Installation & Compatibility ### Fabric Mod Requirements (26.2) *Requires installation on **BOTH** Client and Server for multiplayer.* * **Minecraft:** 26.2 * **Mod Loader:** Fabric (0.19.5 or newer) * **Fabric API:** 0.160.0+26.2 * **Java:** 25 or newer **How to Install:** 1.
