DynamicSkins

DynamicSkins is a Fabric mod that lets players use server-synchronized custom avatars instead of relying solely on Minecraft's default skin system.

Players can upload two avatar textures through an in-game editor:

• Idle texture
• Talking texture

Uploaded avatars are synchronized through the server, stored locally on the server, and automatically sent to other players. This allows multiplayer servers to provide consistent custom avatars without requiring resource packs or external skin services.

Features

• Server-synchronized custom player avatars
• Separate idle and talking textures
• In-game Avatar Editor
• PNG validation before upload
• Supports square PNG textures from 64×64 up to 4096×4096
• Maximum upload size: 2 MB per texture
• Slim (Alex) and Wide (Steve) player models
• Server-side avatar storage
• Client-side avatar caching
• Optional Plasmo Voice integration for talking animations

How to Use

1. Install DynamicSkins on the server.
2. Install DynamicSkins on each client.
3. Join the server.
4. Open the Avatar Editor using the configured keybind.
5. Select an idle texture.
6. Select a talking texture.
7. Choose either:
   • Slim (Alex)
   • Wide (Steve)

• Click Upload.

Players can also remove their uploaded avatar directly from the Avatar Editor.

Talking Avatars

DynamicSkins can automatically switch to a talking avatar while the player is speaking.

This feature requires Plasmo Voice.

If Plasmo Voice is not installed, DynamicSkins continues to function normally as a synchronized custom avatar system, but talking-state textures will not be used.

Storage

Uploaded avatar textures are stored locally by the Minecraft server inside the DynamicSkins storage directory.

Clients automatically cache synchronized avatars for faster loading.
