Skinmatics

A versatile yet minimal player customization mod. Vanilla-friendly!

About

Want custom animated skins? emissive (glowing) skins? and maybe even animated and reactive eyes?

Skinmatics gives you just that. Adding customization to existing aspect of the game without overriding it, while staying relatively vanilla-friendly

Utilitary is required to use this mod

Features

Skin
Cape
Elytra

Yes, they looked goofy since the wings are mirrored.
Eyes

Note:

The mod does not come with pre-made textures, players must create their own textures to use these features
Other players can't see your Skinmatics profile as of now

Documentation

Currently, the editor screen for the mod is still a work-in-progress, and only serves as a shortcut to open files. To open it, open Options > Skin Customizations > Skinmatics... or from Mod Menu

You can change your profile in the config (config/skinmatics/config.json > profile). Textures are stored in config/skinmatics/textures.

You can safely ignore the config's "identity" field in the config, it serves as an identification for Utilitary to load the config file.

Alternatively, you can use commands:

/skinmatics profile
- /skinmatics profile open opens config/skinmatics/profiles directory
- /skinmatics profile create <profile> creates and opens a new profile with <profile> as the name
- /skinmatics profile load <profile> loads a profile to your player character
- /skinmatics profile reload reloads/loads all profiles in config/skinmatics/profiles
- /skinmatics profile assign <profile> assign an entity with the profile, must look at an entity to assign. You can assign this to a mannequin entity to preview your profile
- /skinmatics profile unassign unassigns an entity with the profile (if they have one). You must look at an entity to unassign
/skinmatics config
- /skinmatics config open opens config/skinmatics/config.json
- /skinmatics config reload reloads Skinmatics config
/skinmatics texture
- /skinmatics texture open opens config/skinmatics/textures directory
- /skinmatics texture reload reloads/loads all textures (the same as F3 + T)
/skinmatics documentation opens Skinmatics Github page

You can use Notepad or any other JSON file manipulation app to modify this
