A skin change is not visible

Use this guide when a command reports success but the player still looks unchanged.

Compare two views

1. Run /skin set xknat with a Java client.
2. Ask another player to check the result.
3. Disconnect and join again.
4. Compare both views again.

If another player sees the new skin, the server applied it. Inspect the affected client's skin mods and launcher configuration.

Inspect the selected data

Run /sr info player <playerName> on the instance that owns storage. Inspect the texture and selected skin. On a network, use the proxy console for ordinary administrative commands.

If a texture cannot load, read service connections. If the stored selection is correct, continue with profile application.

Check the application path

• Proxy: Check forwarding and install SkinsRestorer on every backend. Use proxy troubleshooting.
• Join only: Inspect advanced.disableOnJoinSkins and online-mode behavior. Use skin resets.
• Resource pack: Keep server.resourcePackFix enabled unless another integration handles profile refresh.
• Specific plugin or world: Reproduce without competing profile plugins on a separate test server.

Do not enable advanced.teleportRefresh as a first fix. It teleports players far away and back during refresh.

Still unchanged

Collect a diagnostic report and recent log, including whose client sees the problem and whether reconnecting changes it.
