Good old Steve, whose default look takes on the character of any newly minted "minecraft", many very quickly manage to get bored - such a skin is too widespread. The owners of a licensed copy of the famous "sandbox" in this regard are incredibly lucky: they can change their game appearance in one click as soon as they wish. However, what about those who feel sorry for the money to purchase a license key, but want to change their skin?
It is necessary
- - sites with skins
- - special programs and plugins
- - pirate servers and launchers
Instructions
Step 1
If your situation is exactly this: you have only a pirated copy of Minecraft installed, then don't worry that now you will have to be Steve until the end of your game existence. If you wish, you can easily change this look to any one you like in one of several ways. Choose a specific method depending on what purpose you are pursuing when you want to change a boring virtual image.
Step 2
Go to any site that offers a variety of skins, and download the one that you like. Already on your computer, rename the file with it to char.png. Now open minecraft.jar through any of the archivers (install, for example, the same WinRAR, if you don't have any similar program yet). Look for the one named char.png
Step 3
However, you will soon discover a serious flaw in this skin change method. Other gamers will not be able to contemplate your new look - for them you will still look like Steve. Moreover, a similar situation will be observed on any multiplayer resources (both in regular network gameplay and on servers). Therefore, if you certainly want to get the opportunity to demonstrate the new skin to other "minecrafters", use other methods of changing the game image.
Step 4
Choose on special Internet resources, which demonstrate various options for the appearance of the players, whatever you like, and copy the nickname to which it is attached. And remember all the nuances of its writing (down to capital letters) - here it is very important. When registering on various Minecraft game portals, indicate just such a nickname. Then your goal will be fully achieved - you will receive the desired skin.
Step 5
However, be prepared that at any moment your playing appearance may change significantly (and you may not necessarily like such metamorphoses). The bottom line is that the skin obtained by the above method turns out to be tied to the account of one of the players who purchased a licensed copy of Minecraft (you simply turn into a virtual double of such a gamer). If he wishes to change his image, the corresponding transformations will occur with your character. If you don't want to put up with something like that, find another nickname with which a similar skin is associated, and re-register on the game server. Naturally, in this case, all your previous achievements in the gameplay will be lost.
Step 6
Use another possible option for changing the skin - register on the pirate server. There, the change in the appearance of your character will take place in much the same way as in the case of owners of licensed accounts - in one click. However, be prepared for the fact that you will be offered to install a special launcher, without which such a pirate server will not work. In addition, your new skin will only be displayed on the playground where you replaced it.
