My current skin from Character Creator & Minecraft Launcher. I got lazy, yeah. |
This "article" is slightly different from what I've written before since it's more of an actual guide. While there're some posts that had something close to this type of material, it was more of an addition to the main topic. However, the subject I'm about to tackle on here is rather niche and I want to have some kind of easily accessible reminder in case when I forget about this. It only makes sense to put it in public (or dublicate it), so this interesting trick I learned thanks to some smart & helpful people on Internet can be used by others.
While I'm interested in trying my hand at pixel art, currently I can't really draw anything. Making my own Minecraft skin does sound like a good logical step, but I was wondering if there's some lazy and smart way of approaching the "How do get a unique Minecraft skin" question. One of the neat features of Bedrock Edition is Character Creator where you can create your own skin using free (and paid, but it's not important here) options/items.
Original version of Minecraft doesn't have its own official Character Creator tool, so there's no way for player to move over his skin from one version of the game to another in the name of parity... or can we? If map conversion tools like Chunker exist, maybe there's something similar for skins? Not directly, but there's one method that was discovered, and I was fortunate enough to discover it thanks to a very helpful person out there.
