Warning
- When using a computer, you should only change the look through the official Minecraft website.
- Any third-party websites or files that require a Minecraft username and password contain viruses. Never give out your account information when downloading skins, unless you are sure the original game is asking for the password, or if you are changing skins on the official Minecraft website.
- If you want to play Minecraft with your friends, we don't recommend using restricted skins when playing in multiplayer, as these can only be used in a single player world. . Instead, playing alone is a good idea if you are using a restricted skin.
