🧍‍♂️ Offline Skins 🎨 Use Custom Skins — Even Without Internet!

Offline Skins is a lightweight Fabric mod that lets you use local PNG skin files as your player skin — completely offline. No Mojang API, no authentication — just your own skins loaded straight from your game directory.

💡 Features

✅ Offline Support: Apply custom skins without an internet connection.

🖼️ Local Skin Folder: Place PNG files inside

.minecraft/config/offlineskins/

(the same directory where your mods folder is). Each file should be named after your username or any name you select with a command.

🧩 Command Controls:

/offlineskins list — Shows all available skin files.

/offlineskins change <skin_name> — Instantly switch to a chosen skin.

/offlineskins default <alex|steve> — Reset to the default model.

⚙️ Auto Loading: Automatically loads your selected skin when you start the game or join a world.

💾 Persistent Settings: Remembers your chosen skin and model in a simple config.json.

🧠 How It Works

The mod replaces the local player’s texture source to load skins from your config/offlineskins/ folder.

OfflineSkinsClient Initializes the mod, ensures the skin folder and config exist, and registers commands.

OfflineSkinsCommands Provides simple commands for managing your offline skins.

SkinStorage Loads and caches PNG skins, registers them as textures, and defaults to Steve/Alex if none are set.

ConfigManager Saves selectedSkinName and defaultModel preferences to config.json.

AbstractClientPlayerEntitySkinMixin Overrides the local player’s texture lookup to use offline skins safely.
