(Java Parity) Skin Editor In Launcher

under review

The one frustrating thing is that there is no official Minecraft Skin Editor. There are plenty of free options online, but it would be very convenient if there was an actual skin editing tool in the launcher. This would take time to develop, but it would be a fantastic service to the players. I would use GIMP, but I do not want to go through the nightmare of guessing games for that. "Which limb does this go to? What direction does the top of the shoulder face?" The last time I made a skin, it was with Skin Studio from 57Digital. I would love an interface like that on the PC Minecraft launcher. I'd also like to be able to import skins made in the launcher to my Bedrock Minecraft. People have already asked for a skin editor in the Bedrock edition, but I haven't heard anyone ask for one in the Java version.

    This is a hefty feature but it would be great to have, and so it's currently under review!

    Actually this has not been implemented.

    But personally I would love it if it did get implemented.

    Hey future commenters, let's try to stay helpful - if you're going to say something exists, feel free to help with links. Minecraft is a huge game and not everyone visiting feedback may be aware of options they have. 

    Thanks!

    AudioMasterGamz  no it hasn't. Not officially anyways. If you were talking about the skins tab, he's requesting a skin maker.

    I play on a lot of devices. On the same basic topic basically, so I'll make my point here. If they made this which sounds good to me. It would be really nice if it had a skin stealer too. I am so sick of having to use a 3rd party app to keep the one skin I have ever made and will always use. The skin I use was a pic of myself that I added to MTA auto, another game, years ago. I just dumbed it down and it looks great in mc. So I have no desire to change. Sure I test new skins but none make me feeel like myself in game like My skin.  it in the future. Bedrock needs to sync my skin or at least have a "skin stealer" to pull it from java manually.

    Yes please! I would love this, i really want the new launcher to become a one stop place for all minecraft content on my pc, and this would be really nice. Furthermore, it they made a way to share your skins with others in the community through the launcher, that would be even better!

    Great Idea, I use Skindex but a built in editor would much better. I hope that's whats making the implementation of skins in the launcher take so long.

    You CAN make skins without going to any of those sites. It's just easier if you do. I honestly use Fire Alpaca to make skins. As long as you have an art program that supports transparent PNGs, You can make a skin.

    从某些意义上，我是比较喜欢皮肤编辑器的，因为总比从网上找一堆皮肤文件好

    as long as it's nothing like the bedrock skin editor and allows you to go inbetween the arms (all of the skin editors that I've tried don't let you do that

    Would be cool, but for the time being, as I only change my skin once or twice a year, the current options they have (Online skin editors and makers, I prefer NovaSkin) work fine for me... But I do see where you are coming from and for newer players (I have played since 2011/12) it would be pretty confusing to find out where and how to change their skin, and at the start you seem to change skins more often, till you find/make than skin that fits perfectly.

    That's actually a pretty good idea!

    Yea, this could go next to skin selection where you have a color pallet and a blank skin to work on!

    It would be awesome for sure to be able to create/tweak skins from the launcher and would be nice to have skin on the system for offline play, which solo players, like myself, with bad internet sometimes have to do.

    Personally I feel this'd be great to have & since it's be first party you could definitely address the problems with other editors like for example: adding indicators for which way it's facing, copy & paste tools, & maybe even built in texturing to match minceraft's style. Alot of this is missing from miners need cool shoes (the editor I use) Plus it'd make it easier to apply capes on the fly.

    Can we have the ability to save these created skins for offline use. It really sucks just having to go online, (on both platforms) having to reload your created skin. This is a problem on bedrock especially.

    This would be incredibly helpful to have. My current issue is that I have a skin on an old account I no longer intend to use, but I still want the skin. I made and saved the skin on another computer that I now no longer have access to. I tried finding the skin in the local saves and game files but it was nowhere to be found even though it showed within the launcher, and applied in-game. Aside from that, I had also made the skin backwards, so an ability to simply flip the skin would be great in a built-in editor lol.
