AlexInd's Server Skins

A client-side Minecraft 1.7.10 Forge mod that replaces player skins with per-player skins fetched from an API.

How it works

  1. For each player in the world, a GET request is sent to the configured API URL with the player's nickname
  2. The API returns a JSON response with a skin URL
  3. The mod downloads the skin PNG and applies it to that specific player via reflection

Configuration

After first launch, edit config/alexinds_server_skins.cfg:

general {
    S:apiUrl=http://localhost:8000/%s
}

Use %s as the placeholder for the player nickname.

API

The mod sends a GET request to the configured URL (with %s replaced by the player's nickname). The server must return JSON with the following structure:

{
    "SKIN": {
        "url": "" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://example.com/path/to/skin.png",
        "metadata": {}
    }
}
Field Type Description
SKIN.url string Direct URL to the player's skin PNG (64x64 or 64x32)
SKIN.metadata object Reserved for future use, pass an empty object {}

The skin PNG must be accessible via direct GET request (no redirects, no auth).

Example server

A minimal Python server is provided in example-server/server.py:

python example-server/server.py

Place 64x64 PNG skins in example-server/skins/ named as <nickname>.png (e.g., Notch.png). The server will serve both the JSON endpoint and the skin files.

Configure the mod to use:

general {
    S:apiUrl=http://your-ip:8000/%s
}

Build

./gradlew clean build

Output: build/libs/SkinReplacer-1.0.0.jar

Requirements

  • Minecraft 1.7.10
  • Forge 10.13.4.1614+
  • Java 8
