Minecraft Characterization Notes

I've rewatched all the trailers and content I could find/exists (as of November 2022) that contains Steve, Alex, and any of the new characters to take notes on their characterization and quirks :] Information is taken from the playlist of animated trailers in the official Minecraft YouTube channel, caves and cliffs: the musical, and the announcement video from MineCon live. If I've missed anything, please let me know!

First up, Alex. They're first and foremost an explorer, always eager to dive into a new adventure. This manifests as a slight lack of impulse control, but things tend to work out in their favor anyways due to their natural luck. Their hunts give them pretty things to decorate with, feeding their apparent desire for aesthetics. They tend to take on a leadership role in most situations, either by taking charge when exploring with their best friend Steve, or directing the other players. Despite this, they're also a goofball at heart and have a penchant for practical jokes. They seem to have good storytelling skills and talent with redstone.

Next is the original, Steve. They're far more cautious than Alex, which is a good thing given their bouts of both klutziness and misfortune. They often have their head in the clouds and get absorbed into tasks, which results in them startling easily. They're practical by nature and tend to do more by-the-book mining. They love most animals and creatures but are scared of goats. Despite their sweeter, milder nature, they're just as much of a hardened, competent warrior as Alex is (especially when not caught off-guard).

Sunny is the first of the new characters I'll cover. They're a bit reckless but mean well (they heedlessly ran into the deep dark after a chicken). They later recounted this tale as a show of bravado, claiming to have escaped from the warden alive with the chicken (but it's unclear how true that is). Although they seem to enjoy living fast, they also like to slow down and enjoy some time boating on the water (though they may have just been keeping watch for Efe).

Wherever Sunny goes, Efe is sure to be close. They followed Sunny into the deep dark and aided in the recounting, but seemed to mostly play a secondary role in that situation. That's not to say they're any less attracted to danger—we see them fighting a hoard of drowned, using a Trident while underwater to do so. They appear to do this solely for the fun of it as Sunny keeps watch above (perhaps they're not supposed to be this adrenaline-seeking but choose to do so anyways?). Despite their brave nature, they get startled and run from a creeper immediately after. In the chase, they skillfully take to riding a pig at high speeds without a pause to mount up. This shows off their notable athletic prowess.

The last of the new characters to receive significant development is Noor. They're lower-energy than either Sunny or Efe, but not sedate. Their curious nature shines through. They also appear to be more observant than the others, noticing when Steve and Alex came back through the nether portal in the distance as well as the nearby Allay. While they love many creatures (catching a tadpole in a bucket and then later releasing it in a nice location), they have a particular affinity for allays and recall their experiences with the creatures fondly. They tend towards reminiscing and nostalgia. They're a practical person—they brought a bucket and spyglass on their boating trip, not just glowberries to snack on.

The remaining four do not have as many scenes or development, but I will do my best to get as much information from their scenes as possible. (Some of the following may appear to be a stretch for this reason)

The most developed of those who remain is Makena. They're first seen farming as Zuri runs by while being chased. They later show up again with an elytra, making skilled flight maneuvers to return the redstone torch to Alex. Seeing a problem and deciding to help speaks to a helpful and compassionate nature, and their flying abilities show their agile physical abilities.

As previously mentioned, Zuri was running from a creeper. They appear easily startled. Their coordination leaves something to be desired when they're distressed, so they are not likely a warrior.

Ari is another player seen flying with elytra. They accidentally stole Alex's redstone torch but dropped it when trying to activate a rocket to turn around. They appear to mean well but do not have the best hand-eye coordination.

The final character is Kai. Very little is known about them at this time, as their only animated appearance shows them farming. They're slouched over in the introductory promotion image and one might assume they're laid-back or lackadaisical, but that's conjecture at this point.

Someone in the YouTube comments on a reupload of the clip from MineCon Live went through and determined which characters were right or left handed.

[Image ID: A screenshot of a YouTube comment on dark mode. The comment is from SomeBodyKarens1 and has three likes. The comment reads: Freezing the frame on when they are all holding redstone torches (aside from Efe who is on a pig) I believe their dominant hands are as follows.

Zuri: right.

Sunny: Right.

Noor: Left.

Makena: ambidextrous (Even though holding a torch in the right hand, in the scene when running they are holding a bucket in their left).

Kai: right.

Efe: left.

Ari: right. End image ID]

I need to talk about Minecraft AU for a sec and how the difference between our world and their world makes for some of the most humorous but also interesting differences in how people act about certain subjects.

Like the trans thing right. Steve and Rana are both trans I've talked about that before. And neither of them are on hormone replacement or anything (there is an in universe explanation as to why Steve has a beard though I promise I can talk about that if anyone wants) but like that's fine bc it literally Doesn't Matter to them or anyone else. Like as spawned players they already don't have any pre-existing gender roles or ideas of what something "should" be so gender and presentation is what they make of it and there's no real solid idea in anyone's mind about how a "boy" or "girl" behaves or looks like. These are labels that exist but they barely mean anything. It also helps that any preexisting culture that WOULD have ideas of this was almost entirely destroyed like 5000 years ago (thanks Groda) so it matters even less than it already did.

And its funny bc the only two people alive from that era, White Eyes and Groda also just don't care. Groda maybe asks why Rana's voice sounds deeper once and nearly gets torn apart by Alex bc of it (Rana isn't offended or anything she just has a defensive girlfriend), bc she doesn't really understand because she never experienced anything like this first hand but very quickly comes to understand it and accept it. And on the other hand White Eyes is just like "I've seen weirder things than this" which yeah. Yeah honestly I think the person who was previously one with the undead would not care about gender in the grand scheme of things.

And then u have Kai which I've joked before that they may as well have been spawned in nonbinary. They rlly just said "I'm not really anything" and everyone was like yeah makes sense I vibe with it. Good for u.

Steve and Rana are both fairly open about having been the opposite genders previously (because that's how they view their experiences and that's valid!) and don't really shy away from the subject but also never really have much reason to talk about it since there's rarely a need to. In the modern day pretty much everyone who met them had met them post-transition. Even Alex had met them just before Steve started growing in his beard. The only people who ever knew them as Adam and Eve were Efe and Sunny but they never really thought it was weird or anything. Like the weirdest part to them was Steve saying he got his epiphany from seeing some guy in the distance on a foggy day who looked vaguely like him but that's its own subject manner that they aren't going to pry on.

Also Steve did DIY top "surgery" previously with a sword but we aren't going to talk about how messy that was for everyone involved.

#minecraft #minecraft au mastertag #apologies for my trans ramblings. how i get to approach these subject matters in the AU is just fun #and i needed to get some thoughts out #unrelated fun fact that i think most people here dont know: Steve and Alex were actually the first two to be in a committed relationship #not Steve and Rana like most would (rightfully) expect #this is because despite the fact that the two have literally know eachother for their entire lives #they're both really bad at being honest with themselves.#for years it was 'i like this person but i dont know how to tell them'#to 'well maybe i only FEEL like i like them because i dont know anyone else that well'#to 'well maybe they dont feel the same and it'd be weird to bring it up now'#you've heard of slow burn now get ready for what those two had going on #Alex when integrated into the household and months had passed actually had enough confidence to ask #here's the funny part though. she had assumed that Steve and Rana WERE dating already (and was cool with it obviously)#they were not.#so u can imagine how funny it is for Steve to hear 'Your girlfriend is pretty' out of Alex's mouth bc of that #She's more shocked that they're NOT dating already they live in the same house they've known eachother for literally their entire existence #they are like so stupidly affectionate with eachother to boot #'And you've known her for how long??' 'I mean... about 10 years?' 'DUDE.'#its actually agonizing but on the bright side it is what got the polycule started eventually #I would not be surprised if Sunny and Efe placed bets on if/when it would eventually happen

Possible resolutions to the Freaky Morty Thing

1. (and the one I personally think is most likely) Morty Prime boots Evil Morty out.

We don't know yet how aware Morty Prime is of this whole thing:

a) His mind may be in complete stasis, like an asleep clone in a vat.

b) Or he may be trapped in Evil Morty's body inside Evil Morty's minecraft base.

c) Or his mind and Evil Morty's mind may be sorta merged, like Rick's and Jerry's did.

d) Or he may experience everything with a strong feeling of dissociation; admittedly, Evil Morty isn't having him do something he'd never do, he acts pretty normally. So it's possibly he currently can't even TELL he's being puppeteered.

e) Or he maybe getting puppeteered with FULL AWARENESS OF IT (which honestly sounds extremely traumatizing and I can't see how he could recover from it any time soon).

f) Or he's a willing participant, which I found EXTREMELY unlikely.

It appears that Evil Morty has access at least to some of Morty Prime's memories: he knew about the punchcard system and how it worked, he knew what certain specific adventures had been about, he knew the names of some kids and teachers from school. Admittedly, these could all be nearly identical experiences he has had in the past with parallel Ricks, but my guess is he has access to SOME stuff.

At the same time, he hadn't really grasped what Morty Prime's and Summer's relationship was like, and he even seemed uncertain (and hunched up) when he asked Rick C-137 if the auditors thing should count as Rick's or as Morty's adventure; like he wasn't sure how this whole thing worked and was looking at Rick for clues. If Morty Prime asked about it, I'd imagine him being more flippant. Not all hunched up. So I think Evil Morty doesn't know EVERYTHING from Morty Prime's life.

If we take into account Evil Rick's experience, it appeared he had at least some degree of autonomy at times (his "kill me, kill meeee" was definitely genuine, I doubt Evil Morty made him say that) and given that he tried to kill himself, he was aware of what was happening to him (also, it's obvious that resisting whatever Evil Morty has been doing was within the realm of possibility). At other times, it feels like Evil Morty was speaking through him directly ("Ricks don't care about Mortys") or forcing him to do stuff directly (like... bending 90 degrees backwards to shoot someone). So maybe it's kind of a spectrum. Maybe at times it was sufficient to give him a mental nudge or amplify an emotion he was already feeling or a thought he already had (as in: I'm the greatest Rick, therefore I could totally kill hundreds of Ricks). Or maybe it's ALL direct manhandling, and the "kill meeee" part was simply Evil Rick resisting for one last time (...it's probably that).

Whatever the case for Morty Prime may be, IF he is aware of what is happening to him and can communicate with Evil Morty directly, then it's also possible for him to challenge Evil Morty and force him to consider his actions. Honestly, I don't think it would take a lot to make Evil Morty mentally stumble: a simple reminder that the family he surrounded himself with does not really love HIM; that would they know the full truth they would turn against him immediately; a challenge to reveal the truth and see what happens; a suggestion that it's better for him to give up now rather than risk getting caught later after he's become more invested. I feel like Evil Morty would ignore all that initially, but won't be able to ignore it forever. Unlike the case with Evil Rick, when Evil Morty was detached and calculating, he's getting really emotionally invested right now, and is digging a bigger hole of disappointment for himself with every day that passes and brings him closer to the day the truth is revealed.

Also, you know, since Morty Prime is basically getting mind-effed right now, him having the strength to get back his autonomy sounds like a life-saver for him, and pretty balanced plot-wise.

2. Rick finding out (or someone else finding out and telling Rick) and Doing Something to make it stop

I have some issues with this option, mostly because I can't see Rick being able to do much anyway. After all, whether Rick wants to react to the reveal calmly or violently, the truth remains that Evil Morty currently has the Omega Device (schemes-- has he built it yet?).

If he tells Evil Morty gently 'please leave', Evil Morty may not take the rejection well and throw the whole family into the device.

If he starts yelling at Evil Morty about what a lunatic he is, Evil Morty may throw the whole family into the device (I mean, Evil Morty may also NOT throw the whole family into the device, but would Rick really risk it?).

Rick's best bet would be for him to secretly track down Evil Morty's omega device, destroy it, and then force Evil Morty to leave. However, as trucknoises wrote, having Rick's intelligence solve the emotional problems in the show would undercut it's entire theme.

3. Evil Morty getting fed up with Rick's abuse and leaving

I... like this one actually. Because even if Evil Morty has been discarded and beaten by dozen horribly abusive Ricks in the past, Rick C-137 is still abusive.

It doesn't really matter that he is not beating up his grandson or abandoning him every other week. That's a freaking low bar that we shouldn't celebrate Rick passing.

Rick still forces his grandson to sell drugs, still abandoned whole universes in ruin even though he could do something to help, still has nonchalantly killed strangers and manipulated his own family (and the only one in the family who really tried to stand up to Rick was Jerry lol).

I think that Evil Morty being all "hey, it's okay that he wants me to sell drugs because at least he's not beating me up" would quite undercut his character and motivations.

Up until now, Evil Morty is the only character REALLY forcing Rick to look into the mirror and pressuring him to account for his actions. Having that hand-waved away simply because Rick is nice sometimes really takes the kick out of the story, I think. Rick hasn't earned forgiveness by meeting baselines niceness standards.

(However, Evil Morty is so desperate for a sense of family that I can see him giving Rick C-137 a pass, at least at first. I can also see him trying desperately (and subtly) to force Rick to account for his actions as the story progresses, in the hope of Rick REALLY turning a new leaf and Evil Morty REALLY feeling safe).

4. The whole family finds out, everyone (except Rick who is terrified of the Omega Device) begs Evil Morty to leave

...and Evil Mory complies because he has grown to love them and wants them to be happy.

I guess this would entail the most character growth for him, and probably the best chances for a real, honest relationship with them (or anyone else) in the future.

OHHH IK WHAT UR TALKING ABOUT I THINK they actually aren’t my Minecraft avatar but they are one of the new skins Mojang released a little while back! Their name’s Efe and I immediately took a liking to them the moment I saw them in the trailer.

Here’s some screenshots of them taken from various posts from Minecraft’s official instagram account:

They’re so under-appreciated

#askbox #Everyone look at them NOW and LOVE THEM #They are the most NON-BINARY skin ever #Look at their drip #Fuckin swagger #In general the new minecraft skins need more love imo #I’ve seen a couple for Sunny but not much for the others #Efe my fucking beloved dude

Daily Minecraft Lore Tidbit Your only source for my Minecraft AU lore

Every Mojang-made skin that’s not a crossover with something else is canon to this AU.

Steve, Alex, Ari, Kai, Noor, Sunny, Zuri, Efe, and Makena are the human characters that the AU is currently focusing on for the modern day.

Adriene, Hal, Hex, and Valorie are the party of characters that play through the events of what we know as “Minecraft Dungeons”. It takes place alongside the events of the main AU’s story, but Echoing Void does take place a bit after the events of the main story, since Jean is dead.

There’s also Pake and Wargen, an old coot and a shadow demon thing exploring the world together. They come across the Dungeons Mainland right around the time the Arch-Illager is defeated and make good friends with the main four heroes (and Archie).

The Dungeons DLC-specific Heroes (and every free skin in Dungeons as well) *are* canon to the AU, but I called out the main four characters and the Hero’s Pass characters because they stand out in my opinion. The various characters from the game are just guys that inhabit the AU world as (arguably) insignificant in comparison to the main guys.

I might end up posting more about the actual story of the AU, if I ever get the energy to make good art. If you’re at all curious about any aspect of the lore in general tho, the askbox is always open!

I had a idea for an AU: it's where Efe, Sunny (And the other new skins) are in Minecraft dungeons. I haven't thought much on the Story (Like for example: how does Efe meet Archie, or why are they in front of a nether portal-)

I'll call this AU "MCD:Purple thorns" because I don't know what else to call it.

BTW This AU will probably be just a side project for when I wanna take a break from all my main stories

It is so effing late and I am so effing tired I am hallucinating seeing ghostbur from the dream smp in the periphery of my vision just standing in the washroom across from my room.

It's not even a fanart rendition of him either its just the minecraft block-shaped dude. And he's not even looking at me either???

Like— you know that weird typical position of the skin where it's just standing, swinnging it's legs at an angle?? That's what I'm seeing in the corner of my eye right now. Just yellow shirt gray face block man staning in my washroom, not even looking at me. He's just vibing.

#Why is it something as tame as ghostbur now?? i've always used to see creepy things in the periphery when I stayed up too late.#Also before you scold me I'm making notes for some of my fics I NEED to get these ideas down #I'm going to sleep straight after I swear #ghostbur #dream smp #dsmp #dsmp wilbur #dsmp ghostbur #random update I suppose #feel free to reblog if you're also hallucinating dsmp members or just minecraft characters in general #mcyt #just thinking #I need to sleep

Piano Letter Notes

I'll try to write a brief tutorial on how to use the notes from letters that I've posted on this blog to make songs in Minecraft using Note Blocks.

First, I would suggest you to watch this video. It has all the information you require. IRC101.ORG

If you've finished watching you've discovered that you'll require 2 programs for easily making songs in Minecraft, i'll link them below:

Minecraft.Note.Block.Studio MCEdit

How to use Minecraft Note Block Studio

View full-size image

The image above is the first part of Crab Rave. It's also available on this website.

RH:4|d-A-g-gd-da-f-fd-da-f-fc-c| LH:2|g---g---f---f---d---d---c-|

RH:4|-e-efed-A-g-gd-da-f-fd-da-| LH:2|--c---g---g---f---f---d---|

Notice that each "--" is a blank block space in Minecraft Note Block Studio. Unfortunately Minecraft blocks cover only 2 octaves, the full 4th octave, and parts of 3rd and 5th octaves. You won't be allowed to create songs using notes from more than three Octaves. That's why I only used the notes from octave 4. I tried replacing the octave 2-related notes with octave 3, but Minecraft doesn't support the "f" note for octave 3...

The bottom line is that you should consider making songs that are easy to make and make use of 1 or 2 octaves.

After you've completed making notes Go to File > Export as Schematic.

Then, then, use MCEdit to load the file in one of your game worlds. To see how it is done, check out the video that I linked at the end of this post.

A Camouflage Skin in Minecraft Classic

Skins are the textures that are applied to a player or mob member.

Contents

1 Default skins 2 Properties 3 World textures 4 Changing or installing player skins 4.1 Java Edition 4.2 Bedrock Edition

6.1 Java Edition Skin Packs

7.1 Templates for official skin

8. Historical Images

10.1 Renders

Default skins[]

In Java Edition pre-Classic Steve was first seen in a cyan shirt with blue pants and gray shoes. Steve was initially the face of the human mob. Later in Java Edition Classic, Steve's appearance was changed to include no beard. Despite this, Steve still maintained the beard in a number of merchandise, marketing material, and official artwork.

Alex was added later in Java Edition 1.8-pre1, functioning as the default model for the slim arms skin model.

In 2022, the trailers and artwork for The Wild Update revealed Sunny, Noor, and Efe, though they went unnamed and weren't officially incorporated into the game at the time.

On August 20, 2022, Minecraft Now announced seven new default skins. The seven new default skins were unveiled during Minecraft Live 2022, three of them were new characters from The Wild Update trailers. The names of the skins were revealed in an Minecraft Live 2022 Recap article. The new skins were made available to players on the 20th of October and 2022. They can be downloaded via the Skins tab of the launcher or from the character creator on the bedrock Edition.

Properties[]

Skins are divided into zones that function as the surface area of the character (for example, the front head area, the left leg area, etc.). There are 3,264 pixels available for customization, with 1,632 pixels per layer. The second layer can be used for character glasses, hats , or other accessories (even larger heads).

In Java Edition, skins are limited to one color that is solid; transparency is not allowed in the skin file, unless it is on the second layer which is transparent by default; playing offline, pixels can be left open, creating "holes" in the skin. If a skin that has transparent pixels on the first layer is uploaded the transparent pixels will render as black pixels in game.

In Bedrock Edition, skins can have double the resolution of a normal skin. This means that the skin template can be up to 128x128 instead 64x64. The templates that are used for normal skins still apply however users get 4x the amount of pixels they can work with as both dimensions have been doubled. Transparency can be used even on the first layer, but it must have at least one visible pixel, therefore a completely opaque skin cannot be created. The transparency should also be zero or 100% as translucent colors are not allowed in either layer.

The size of the pixel on the 2nd layer (Hat layer) on the body, arms and legs is 0.25 pixels more than the skin pixel. For the head 2nd layer (Hat layer) it is 0.5 pixels larger than the skin layer (inner layer).

World textures

A skin may also refer to other textures in the game, like block textures, item sprites mob skins, and so on. You can find a list of all these here.

It is important to note that zombies and their variants are able to use normal player skins (and vice in reverse). Skeleton mobs can use typical player skins but remember that they have their skinny arms and legs. If a skin of a skeleton mob is used as a player's skin, their legs and arms don't appear as skinny.

To use the player skin for zombies, the user needs to align it to the correct place on the .png to avoid a visual break in the texture. Wikimedia

Changing or installing player skins[]

Java Edition[]

Only players who have purchased Minecraft You can change the color of your skin on your character. This can be done via the profile page, or in the Minecraft Launcher by uploading by uploading a valid .png texture that is 64x64 pixels or a legacy texture that is 64x32 pixels, which is then used to replace the default skin.

Skins can also be set to feature either 3 or 4 pixels wide arms. These options can be modified on the profile page. [1]

The steve.png and alex.png files in client.jar can also be altered and replaced via a resource pack, but the changes are only visible to players using the resource pack. The effects are also visible to all players who use the default skin.

Other versions of Steve and Alex in skin packs that have been released officially and other Minecraft media exist:

src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" style="max-width: 450px;">

Bedrock Edition []

Since Pocket Edition v0.11.0 alpha, users can select one of the two default skins available, Steve or Alex and apply their own custom skin. (Uses the same format as the Java edition). The player must select an appropriate skin image from their photo library and select one of the primary models. Players can also spend Minecraft Coins to buy skin packs. The Legacy Skin Pack was also added in Bedrock Edition, but the player must login to Xbox Live to access all the skins. It also includes five anonymous skins. Players can also create their own skin packs. It must contain manifest.json and skins.json files as well as all skins you want. A second .lang file can be placed to a folder with labels to display the names of the skins however, the game will not be able to identify the skins without it.

Creator of characters

The character creator menu.

The character creator is a feature available in Bedrock Edition (and was in Minecraft Earth until the end of the game) that lets players customize their avatars with cosmetic items that are free or paid for. It is accessible by clicking on the character profile option from the main menu. It can also be used to equip capes. Many clothes cost Minecoins (Tokens on PlayStation 4), or can be earned through accomplishing certain tasks.

Skin packs []

As downloadable content Skin Packs are also available in Bedrock Edition. You can purchase Skin Packs:

Through the Marketplace. Most of them cost Minecoins (Tokens on PS4) However, some are available for free. - through .mcskin files put in the skin_packs or development_skin_packs folder in the game files (accessible only on Windows 10, Android, iOS, iPadOS, and Fire devices).

Java Edition Skin Packs[]

The skin packs that follow were released on minecraft.net by Mojang Studios for certain events.

There might be more Java Edition exclusive skin packs released by Mojang Studios not yet listed in this table.

Mirror

Templates[]

Many players like their personal skin. While a variety of pre-made skins are available on the internet, a lot of players prefer to design their own.

A custom skin lets you to personalize your player model. You can choose to use one of the many community-made skin editors or edit the steve.png and alex.png files manually using an image editor such as Photoshop, GIMP or Paint.net. You can download the steve.png and alex.png files here. Editing the alex.png or steve.png files manually requires that you preserve the original image dimensions and that the background (the unused pixels of the skin) is transparent. Otherwise, Minecraft may not recognize the skin as intended.

Some individuals may prefer to use a program either downloadable or in browser. This lets them see their character on an animated model while they edit the skin. Some programs also aid users by providing a broad selection of pre-made options (such as boots, sweaters, hats, etc. Even even if the creator isn't an artist, they are able to provide the creator with exactly the look they desire.

After creating a custom skin, either through a skin editor or editing the steve.png file directly, you will need to upload the .png file at the Skin section of the Profile page on Minecraft.net (found here) before the skin is put on. The skin is also visible by other players playing multiplayer. Note that players cannot see the customized skin in the event that they aren't connected to the internet or playing offline.

Official skin templates []

Minecraft Help Center Article

Template for 4px Arms

3px Arms Template

Other templates []

The current skin template is layered; each body part can have a second layer.

An adaptation of the previous template, colored to match the appropriate skin's skin's faces Front and back, left and right, top and bottom. The secondary layer is represented by the areas that are being checked.

A template for the slim arms model.

A modification of the slimmer arms template, color-coded to correspond with the proper skin's skin's faces: front and back, left, right, top and bottom. The secondary layer is represented by the areas that are scrutinized.

Template for old skin color-coded with all faces labeled.

Another skin guide, this time on a black background. Only the leg and arm sections are shown. "Right" signifies those facing outwards, while "left" indicates those that face inwards.

Deadmau5's skin (not a guide). Pay attention to the ears. See also: Easter eggs SS Deadmau5's ears

Template for deadmau5's ears. You can use other templates here for the skin.

You can also use the current templates for older (pre-Java Edition1.8) skins by using the skin server. However, only the top half is used. This means that only the top half of the image is used, and not the individual arms and legs on the bottom. There is no overlay on any other layer than the head. If the skin is designed for Java Edition 1.7 The old system is required to be used exactly.

To six significant figures to 6 significant figures, there are 3.06013x1023,581 possible unique Minecraft skins.
