Custom Skins on Nintendo Switch / Playstation 4

It's already known that purchased content from the Marketplace will be saved on your Microsoft account.

But what if you can use that to save skins you use on other platforms as Windows 10 or PE, to use the imported skin on consoles like Nintendo Switch or Playstation 4 after logging in with the account where your skin was saved?


You can import your own skins on Windows 10 as well as on IOS/Android so that feature could make it a bit more fair for the console versions that only got the skineditor. The skineditor is not a solution because skins you made there are not displayed on servers, so the only reason to buy something there is to have a skin you can only use i worlds of your friends and in your own worlds. 

I know that the main reason for the skineditor to exist is to gain money, thers nothing bad about it, but you wouldn't lose so much money when you can use your own skins as well. Windows 10 and PE use that feature too so if Microsoft has problems with that they can easily delete this feature on Windows 10 and PE, but it's still there so it shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Hopefully someone thinks the same as i do about it...

    I agree I really think it's frustrating that we're not allowed to use our own custom skins. there's one that use  for playthroughs and servers and when i only have my switch on hand for my server i have to use a random skin from the marketplace

    It’s so unfair that other users get to use custom skins but as console users we don’t and I really think Mojang should update this because I would love to use a custom skin in my Minecraft world, and i can’t really find any skins i like in the store. I have been trying to find a modern witch skin for my world and there is nothing, nobody from what i could find, has a made a skin like that and its so frustrating.
