Save skin library on the Minecraft account, instead of on the machine

under review

The latest Minecraft Launcher beta added the skin selector back, along with a library to save skins in. However, as it is now, the library is saved only on the machine the launcher is run, and is the same for all accounts you have access to in the launcher (bar cape skins).

The skin library would be more useful if it was saved on the Minecraft servers, thus the same from any machine, and linked to the account.

    The team responsible for skins has a lot on their plates currently, but this is not an impossibility given the current design we have so we are reviewing the changes that would be needed for this. Be aware however that this would not be touching on Bedrock skins for Java.

    I like this because it would also give the possibility of bedrock skins for java. Also, upvote you’re own idea lol.

    I didn't even know it only saved to the machine! Thanks for letting me know, this should definitely be cloud based!

    As an alternative, what I do is add the skins I use to my drive and pull them out whenever I need them on a different device.
