How to Store Ears Mod Custom Features on Your Skin

Unlike traditional cosmetic mods that rely on complex external sync systems, Ears handles player customization through the skin image itself.

Pixel-Based Feature Storage

Ears encodes all configuration data—such as ears, snouts, tails, horns, and wings—directly into specific pixels on your character skin. Because of this architecture:

• You do not need an account on a third-party server to host your cosmetics.
• Custom parts travel wherever your skin file goes.
• The mod remains lightweight without needing bulky networking code to synchronize models across a world.

Applying Your Modded Skin

To get your custom features visible in-game, follow these steps:

1. Prepare your skin file with the pixel data configured for the features you want (such as cat ears, tails, or horns).

2. Apply the skin to your Minecraft account using the standard game launcher or your account profile settings.

3. Launch the game with Ears installed.

4. Join a singleplayer world or multiplayer server.

Once loaded, the mod automatically reads the pixel data embedded in your active player skin and renders the corresponding features around your character model.
