Custom Skin Loader supports several API types to communicate with different skin server implementations.

UniSkinAPI A legacy API format used by older skin systems like SkinMe. name, root (URL)

ExtraList System

Skin server owners can provide an ExtraList JSON file. When users place this file into the .minecraft/CustomSkinLoader/ExtraList folder, the mod automatically adds that server to the loading priority without requiring manual editing of the main config file.
