Selected cloud skins

Resolve the currently selected launcher skin manifest for visible players and render it client-side.

Animated runtime composition

Rebuild 64x64 skin frames locally with manifest revisions, frame clocks, and texture refreshes.

Fluid cape motion

Animate Mojang and custom capes client-side with spring inertia and subtle wind movement.

Per-part 3D layers

Enable voxel depth for individual Pro skin parts directly in the Launcher builder.

Motion-compatible

Let Motion own tracking and expression sync while Skins supplies the avatar texture.

Overview ​

Skins renders selected launcher skins, optional per-part 3D layers, animated manifest frames, and fluid capes in-game. 3D layers and cape animation use the modern client-side render-state pipeline and apply on Minecraft 1.21.2 and newer. Cape animation applies to both Mojang capes and capes supplied by compatible texture override mods on Minecraft 1.21.2 and newer. Motion is a separate companion mod for VTube Studio tracking, face overlays, head motion, calibration, and avatar-state sync. When both mods are installed, Skins supplies the player texture and Motion animates it.

Build ​

bash
./gradlew :loader-fabric:build -PmcVersion=1.21.11 -PonlyLoader=fabric
./gradlew :loader-neoforge:build -PmcVersion=1.21.11 -PonlyLoader=neoforge

Smoke tests ​

Run the animated-skin staging smoke with a selected-skin account UUID. The UUID stays in the environment and is not stored in the repository.

bash
SKINS_SMOKE_UUID=<staging-user-uuid> \
  ./gradlew :loader-fabric:skinsStagingSmoke -PmcVersion=26.2 -PonlyLoader=fabric

Use SKINS_API_BASE_URL to point the smoke at a non-production API. For Motion coexistence, copy the Skins Fabric jar into the Motion Fabric run profile and start Motion's Fabric client on the same Minecraft version; Skins should supply only the texture while Motion starts tracking and face rendering.
