Common questions

Do I need offline mode?

No. SkinsRestorer supports online and offline authentication. Keep your authentication policy. A proxy backend has separate forwarding requirements.

Do I need a database for a network?

Ordinary proxy-managed skins do not require SQL. A backend API consumer in proxy mode needs shared MySQL or PostgreSQL storage.

Read proxy mode before you change storage.

Why does clear not always show Steve?

/skin clear removes the saved selection. Account skin lookup and default skin rules determine the result afterward.

Why does the URL image not change after I edit it?

A generated URL skin is a cached signed texture. Upload the revised PNG and select the new result. /skin update refreshes account skin data.

Can I use a custom cape image?

The website supports selected existing capes through its generation route. It does not accept arbitrary cape PNGs or grant account ownership.

Read cape support.

Does a green status mean all services work?

No. /sr status checks account UUID and profile services. MineSkin, website uploads, recommendations, and database access need their own checks.

Where is the full reference?

Use commands and permissions, configuration, and placeholders.

What do I send to support?

Send the setup, exact command, full error, diagnostic report, and recent log. Use the support checklist.
