Skin Overrides Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I open the Overrides screen?
Press the default "O" key to open the Overrides screen instantly. You can also access it through the mod menu if you have one installed.
Can I change my own skin or just other players?
You can change your own skin and cape, as well as override the appearance of other players on your server or world. Both work through the same Overrides screen.
Do other players see my skin overrides?
Skin overrides are local to your game by default—only you see them. To make other players see your overrides, you need to share them using the mod's sharing feature.
How do I save skins to my library?
After applying a skin or cape in the Overrides screen, use the library feature to save it with a custom name so you can quickly switch back to it later.
Can I share my skin library with friends?
Yes, the mod lets you share individual skins and capes with other online players. They'll receive the override and can see your custom appearance.
What file formats does this mod accept for skins?
The mod works with standard Minecraft skin files; check the mod's documentation or the Overrides screen for the exact supported formats and size requirements.
Will skin overrides work on servers?
Local overrides (changes you see) work on any server, but for other players to see your custom skin, they must also have the mod installed and you must share the override with them.
Does this mod affect performance or cause lag?
The mod is lightweight and designed to have minimal performance impact; skin texture changes are applied client-side without affecting server performance.
Can I override a player's skin if they're not online?
Yes, you can create local overrides for any player by entering their username in the Overrides screen, whether they're online or offline.
How do I remove or reset a skin override?
Open the Overrides screen, find the player or skin you want to remove, and use the reset or delete option to restore their original appearance.
