Create a named custom skin

A custom skin gives a signed texture a server-owned name, such as lobby. Players can then use /skin set lobby.

Before you start

You need console access or skinsrestorer.admincommand.createcustom. On a network, create the skin through the proxy that owns skin storage.

Create from a PNG

1. Open Generator.
2. Choose your skin PNG.
3. Enter a short skin name, such as lobby.
4. Choose Classic or Slim.
5. Choose the generation method and select a supported cape if you need one.
6. Select Generate /sr createcustom command.
7. Run the generated command in the server or proxy console.

The generator returns a command. It does not download a storage file or install the skin on your server.

Create from a player name or URL

/sr createcustom lobby xknat

For an image URL, keep the URL quoted and specify the model:

/sr createcustom lobby "https://example.com/lobby.png" classic

Creating an existing name updates that custom skin. Back up valuable custom skins before replacement.

Check and reuse

1. Run /skin set lobby in game.
2. Check the appearance from another player.
3. Run /sr info skin lobby to inspect the stored texture.

Use lobby in a default skin list or the custom menu list.

To change the menu label, run /sr setcustomname lobby Lobby skin. The command uses the same permission as createcustom.

Existing skin files

The generator's reverse conversion can read supported existing skin storage files. Use it to recover the texture for editing. Do not hand-edit a texture value or signature.

Read storage and backups before you remove stored data.
