Custom Skins Transfer

I'll keep it short and simple. If you have an account that you use on xbox  and on mobile, you should be able to upload a custom skin on your phone and be able to use it on your xbox. You wouldn't be able to upload a custom skin on xbox, you would  have to upload it from your phone. Skins should save no matter what platform you are playing on.

    If we make a skin for mobile it should transfer over to your Xbox account if they’re on the same Microsoft account bc I made a skin and I want it on my Xbox account

    Technology in general works differently. Each programmed differently. I don't know if transferring the custom skin from PE to the switch would work. On contrary, skins that were already made by other developers can stay on you like how it stays when you play minecraft Earth, Minecraft PE, and Minecraft Switch Edition. I kind of get bored with others skins, I like being creative and make my own skins, it get's annoying when my skin doesn't pop up on minecraft Earth or on the Switch, I would then have to scroll around for 30 min that has a skin that I like... I just like being different. I know you guys already added the minecraft design your player thing. But I miss using my own skin whenever I play on the switch. Thank you.

    the mods should also be synced with your account so if you have a mod on your phone ar shader or whatever it will be imported into the ps4 :D

    I agree good friend, but also not to hit on the creators or anything, most games do it. The skins and cosmetics on console are heavily monetized sooooo….. can’t really blame them but yeah I’d love personal custom skins on my Xbox pleaaaassssseee.

    It really stinks that console BE players get the short end of the stick every time. This should be doable unless Microsoft intervenes. I've paid for multiple versions of Minecraft though, it should be possible to implement this in some way shape or form. It's really annoying how PC players can change their skin all the livelong day while Console has to pay for everything.

    It isn't working, I'm on the same account, but my Minecraft skin from my phone isn't transferring to my xbox.

    YEAH, it really sucks that minecraft versions are even different at all. it sucks that console players just seem to be a ploy to get money. you paid for the game?? well looks like your gonna have to pay more to customize your character. oh and don't forget the monthly payment to just have minecraft world's openly available to your friends so you don't have to be on 24/7 and blow up your console out of pure heat. oh! and if you want features only PC players have just spend 2,000$ on a windows computer setup that goes straight to Microsoft AND pay for minecraft again. like bro. come on. it's REALLY unfair for console players. there is no need for this big of a disconnect between minecraft players for what quite seems no real reason at all.

    I totally agree. It’s the same thing on a Nintendo Switch. You can’t play with your custom skins from an external source cross-platform.

    yeah there is one major flaw with this, its the fact that other consoles like switch ps4 and ps5.
