In the square world of Minecraft, each player has his own character with a certain appearance. By default, all newbies are given the skin of Steve, a dark-haired boy in a blue T-shirt. Many people get fed up with this appearance right away - moreover, this image has become too familiar.
It is necessary
- - licensed version of Minecraft;
- - special sites with skins;
- - special programs and plugins.
Instructions
Step 1
The most reliable way for you to get the privilege of changing the appearance of your gaming alter-ego as many times as you like is to purchase a licensed copy of Minecraft. With the purchase of an access key to your favorite "sandbox" from Mojang, you will be able to play on any servers you want - and everywhere you will have the skin that you install for your character. Do it in just one click.
Step 2
Go to any portal where gamers are offered various options for game appearance. Choose the one you like and click next to it on the inscription suggesting its installation on minecraft.net. Now you have nothing to worry about - the very first time you enter the game, you will find your chosen skin. Moreover, it will be reviewed by other players, regardless of which resource you are currently on - official or not (the main thing is that it should be "minecraft"). If you get tired of this appearance, change it to a new one just as easily.
Step 3
When even for your favorite Minecraft you feel sorry for money, and therefore you have a pirated copy of it installed, you will automatically be assigned a default skin on all multiplayer gaming sites - that very notorious Steve. However, you have several options for how to change it. In the first case, first, download to your computer a file with the character you like. Then rename it to char.png
Step 4
Open minecraft.jar through any archiver program and find a file with the same name as above. Now just replace it with yours. Thus, you will acquire the desired skin. However, you will probably soon notice that only you will be reviewing your new game appearance. For the rest of the gamers, you're still Steve. By the way, you will see his image on other players who changed their skin in the same way as you.
Step 5
If this state of affairs does not suit you, you can try another method of changing the game appearance. Select on the Internet (for this, by the way, there are special resources) any skin you like and remember the nickname to which it is attached. When registering on various servers, indicate just such a nickname - and your character will automatically acquire the appropriate appearance.
Step 6
The undoubted advantage of this way of changing the skin is that other gamers will see it on you. However, in this case, you become a hostage of the nickname associated with this game appearance. When the owner of the licensed copy of the game, who owns this skin, wishes to abandon it in favor of something else, everything will automatically be replaced with you. If you do not like the new appearance, you will have to look for a nickname with your favorite appearance of the character and re-register under it on your server. In this case, of course, all your previous achievements in the gameplay will lose their relevance, and you will have to start the game from scratch.
