Custom Skin Loader Advanced Mechanics

Profile Caching

To improve performance and reliability, the mod caches player profiles and textures. This prevents the mod from making constant network requests to skin servers. If a server is down, the mod will attempt to use the cached version of the skin.

Dynamic Skull Loading

In vanilla Minecraft, player skulls often fail to load skins correctly in certain versions or environments. Custom Skin Loader intercepts the skull rendering process, applying the same loadlist logic to skulls as it does to player entities. This ensures that decorative heads in builds or player-head items always show the correct skin.

Spectator Menu Fix

In the Spectator Mode menu, player icons often default to the standard Steve or Alex textures. This mod patches the menu to ensure that the actual custom skins are rendered in the player list.
