Show skins in Discord-MC-Chat

This example applies to Discord-MC-Chat 2.7.0's JSON configuration. DMCC 3 uses a different configuration structure. Do not copy the JSON into a DMCC 3 YAML file.

Before you start

Complete DMCC's bot and channel setup. Install compatible mod releases for your Minecraft version. The example uses the profile texture that the game server applies.

Configure DMCC 2.7

1. Back up config/discord-mc-chat.json.
2. Find avatarApi inside the existing generic object.
3. Replace that value:

{
  "generic": {
    "avatarApi": "https://mc-heads.net/avatar/{player_textures}.png"
  }
}

This is an excerpt. Keep the other fields in the file. The generic.avatarApi key and {player_textures} token come from the DMCC 2.7 source.

4. Restart or use the reload command supported by your DMCC version.
5. Change a skin, then send a new chat message.
6. Check the avatar on the new message.

DMCC 3 and other releases

Use DMCC's documentation for your installed version's avatar configuration and available profile placeholders. Do not assume the 2.7 token or reload syntax remains unchanged.

If it fails

First check that another Java client sees the server-selected skin. Then check DMCC's resolved avatar URL and logs. If the game profile itself is wrong, use skin troubleshooting.
