Hello to all Minecraft players! I want to tell you, my friends, how to install a skin in minecraft. Dear Minecrafters, like-minded people in the game, which, I am sure, will never get boring or boring. I want to address those players who have been in the game for a very long time and can be considered “natives” of the world of Minecraft. It’s no secret that over time in the game we want to stand out from the mainstream, and installing a new skin will help us with this. Next we will look in detail at everything connected with it.
So what does it mean: Persian skin in Minecraft?
This is his appearance, the way we see ourselves in a single-player game or in a multiplayer game: other players see us. Standard look: familiar, of course, to everyone, a handsome square man - our beloved Steve!
You can, of course, continue to play with him and not change anything in his appearance. But for certain reasons, we will someday want to change it to our liking. The standard one has a very small resolution of 64x32 and it seems almost impossible to draw anything spectacular on it.

What installation options are there and what are the advantages or disadvantages of each?
Let us consider, dear readers, what methods we have if we need to change standard view our character for something more interesting and consistent with our views about the inhabitant of the Minecraft world.

2. Let's go to the game folder (.minecraft);
3. Open the versions directory;
4. Create a copy of the version you are playing on and name it adding “skin” at the end (Example: 1.8.1skin);
5. Go to this folder and rename the 2 files located there, also adding “skin” at the end;
6. Using an editor, open a file with the extension .json and in the second line in quotes, also add “skin”;
7. Open the .jar file and delete the “META-INF” folder;
