Configure via File

Configuration file location:

.minecraft/config/wskinloader.json

Basic Configuration

{ "skinUrls": [ "https://littleskin.cn/skin/%name%.png", "https://example.com/skins/%name%.png" ], "capeUrls": [ "https://littleskin.cn/cape/%name%.png" ], "enableTabListHeads": true }

Configuration Fields

• enableTabListHeads Whether player head icons are displayed in the Tab list. Default: true.

Advanced Configuration

Player Overrides

You can configure custom rules for specific players.

{ "skinUrls": ["https://littleskin.cn/skin/%name%.png"], "capeUrls": ["https://littleskin.cn/cape/%name%.png"], "playerOverrides": { "PlayerName": { "skipPremiumCheck": true, "skin": { "useCustomApi": true, "apiIndex": 0 }, "cape": { "useCustomApi": true, "apiIndex": -1 } }, "AnotherPlayer": { "skipPremiumCheck": false, "skin": { "useCustomApi": true, "apiIndex": 0 }, "cape": { "useCustomApi": false } } } }

Field Explanation

skipPremiumCheck Skip Mojang premium check. true = always use custom API.

skin.useCustomApi Whether to use a custom API for skins. false = Mojang skin.

skin.apiIndex

• 0 → first API
• 1 → second API
• -1 → try all APIs in order

cape.useCustomApi Whether to use a custom API for capes.

Example Use Cases

Force third-party skins for a premium player

"PlayerName": { "skipPremiumCheck": true, "skin": { "useCustomApi": true, "apiIndex": 0 }, "cape": { "useCustomApi": true, "apiIndex": 0 } }

Hybrid mode

Official skin + custom cape

"PlayerName": { "skipPremiumCheck": false, "skin": { "useCustomApi": false }, "cape": { "useCustomApi": true, "apiIndex": 0 } }

Use a specific API

"PlayerName": { "skipPremiumCheck": true, "skin": { "useCustomApi": true, "apiIndex": 1 }, "cape": { "useCustomApi": true, "apiIndex": 1 } }

How It Works

Skin Loading Process

1. When Minecraft attempts to load a player skin, the mod first queries the Mojang API:

https://api.mojang.com/users/profiles/minecraft/{name}

1. Premium players

• The mod directly queries the Mojang Session Server:

https://sessionserver.mojang.com/session/minecraft/profile/{UUID}

• Retrieves the real skin and cape URLs
• Downloads and caches them locally.

1. Offline players

• The mod tries custom API URLs in the configured order.

1. Downloaded textures are cached in SkinCache.

2. If all sources fail, Minecraft’s default skin will be used.

Tab List Player Heads

Player type detection:

• HTTP 200 → Premium player
• HTTP 404 → Offline player

For premium players, the mod directly retrieves the skin and cape URLs from the Mojang Session Server and downloads them immediately, ensuring the correct head texture appears in the Tab list without waiting for vanilla logic.

混合模式

正版皮肤 + 第三方披风

"PlayerName": { "skipPremiumCheck": false, "skin": { "useCustomApi": false }, "cape": { "useCustomApi": true, "apiIndex": 0 } }

指定使用某一个皮肤 API

"PlayerName": { "skipPremiumCheck": true, "skin": { "useCustomApi": true, "apiIndex": 1 }, "cape": { "useCustomApi": true, "apiIndex": 1 } }

工作原理

皮肤加载流程

1. 当 Minecraft 尝试加载玩家皮肤时，模组会首先查询 Mojang API：

https://api.mojang.com/users/profiles/minecraft/{name}

1. 正版玩家

• 模组会主动请求 Mojang Session Server：

https://sessionserver.mojang.com/session/minecraft/profile/{UUID}

• 获取真实的皮肤与披风 URL
• 下载并缓存到本地。

1. 离线玩家

• 按配置的 API URL 列表顺序尝试加载皮肤。

1. 下载后的皮肤材质会缓存到 SkinCache 中。

2. 如果所有来源都失败，则使用 Minecraft 默认皮肤。

Tab 列表头像显示

玩家类型判断方式：

• HTTP 200 → 正版玩家
• HTTP 404 → 离线玩家

对于正版玩家，模组会直接通过 Mojang Session Server 获取皮肤和披风的真实 URL 并下载，从而在 Tab 列表中立即显示正确的头像，而无需等待原版逻辑。
