📜 Command Usage Guide
For a detailed list of available commands and their usage, please visit the commands wiki page.
❌ Known Incompatibilities
- Arclight (<=1.20.1): Trials or older versions are not compatible due to mixin conflicts. As an alternative, consider using the SkinsRestorer plugin.
- Launchers with 3rd party skinning systems (e.g., TLauncher): Not supported. SkinRestorer uses the official skinning system, and since these launchers override it, skins will not be displayed on the client.
❓ FAQ
- Q: /skin set web gives "trailing data" or URL not accepted?
A: Put the full URL in double quotes "..." - Minecraft chat parsing requires it for URLs with special characters. - Q: Ely.by skins not working ("no profile with name ...")
A: Reapply/set skin on ely.by site first. Ensure username exists & spelled correctly. - Q: Mojang skins not working ("not found" / "no profile")
A: Verify username exists. Temporary Mojang API outage/rate-limit - retry in 5-30 min. Delete config/skinrestorer/mojang_profile_cache.json.
