How do i change my player skin without any mods?

by Bag0Cheese » Post

I looked for things to change my player skin, but my monke brain does not understand, so is there a way to change the default "Sam" skin or however it's called without downloading any mods?

Depends on how you have the game installed. If you use windows, open the minetest directory, open the games folder, go into minetest_game and open mods then player_api. Open the models folder and you should see 'character.png'. If you replace that it will change the default skin for minetest_game.

OK, so, apparently the model of Sam is different from the Minecraft default model, and when I tried uploading a custom texture it didn't work, does anyone has a template of the Sam skin?

Minecraft uses the new 1.8 format skins which is 64x64 pixels, Minetest on the other hand uses the older 1.7 format which is 64x32, so remove the bottom half of the mc1.8 format and it works.

You can also put a compatible skin named character.png into the texture pack you use.
This changes the default character skin but not the personal/individual skin for a player.

I assumed he doesn't play on a server. He also said thanks.
I assumed he does and misunderstood the proposed solution :)
