Changing your Minecraft skin is really, really cool! It is also much easier than you think. Here's how to do this!

To step

Method 1 of 4: Standard method (ready-made skins)

1. Click on “Upload”.
2. Play your game. Once the file has been uploaded, your character should now be equipped with the new custom skin.

Method 4 of 4: Change a skin only offline

1. Download your skin.
2. Disconnect your internet connection.
3. Go to the correct folder. Find "% appdata%" and go to "/Roaming/.minecraft/versions" and choose the version you want.
4. Find an open JAR file. Open that folder and look for the .jar file (it may be executable). You need winRAR to open it.
5. Copy and delete the meta.inf file. Keep the copy in a safe place where you can easily find it again.
6. Change the Steve file. To do this, go to "assests / minecraft / textures / entity" and rename the image "steve" to "steveZERO".
   • You should not delete this file, because Minecraft will crash when you play online.
7. Place the new file and give it the correct name. Name the image you downloaded "steve" (so that it matches the file name of the original skin) and put it in the same location (in the Entity folder).
8. Start the game. Close the folders and start the game.
9. Have fun with your new skin. You have now added something of yourself to the game! Remember: This skin only works offline.

Tips

• Restart Minecraft to make sure your character has been properly changed, and press F5 on both PC and Mac to enter the game in third person (third person view). If everything is correct, you can continue with the game.
• It's easier to change your skin in Minecraft Premium. Sometimes it just isn't possible to change a skin.

Warnings

• Only use the official version of Minecraft!
• Any program that asks for your Minecraft password and username, but doesn't belong to Minecraft, cannot be trusted and should be ignored.
