How to Add a Skin Preset Using a URL, Username, UUID, or Local File

Choosing a Skin Source

Skin Shuffle accepts several input types when creating a preset. Open the carousel, then use the add/create option to start a new preset. You'll be asked for a source:

  • Texture URL — paste a direct link to a skin PNG (the raw image, not a webpage).
  • Minecraft username — type a player's name and the mod fetches their current skin.
  • UUID — paste a player's UUID to pull their skin even if the name changed.
  • Local file — browse to a PNG saved on your computer.
  • In-game texture — use a texture already loaded in the game.

Saving and Naming the Preset

1. Enter the source value in the appropriate field.

2. Give the preset a name so you can find it later in the carousel.

3. Pick the model type: classic (wide arms) or slim (thin arms).

4. Confirm to save. The preset now appears in your carousel and can be applied at any time.

Tips for Reliable Presets

  • Use direct image links ending in .png; gallery or forum pages won't work.
  • If a username lookup fails, try the UUID instead — names change, UUIDs don't.
  • Keep local files in a folder you won't move, or the preset will break.
  • You can edit a preset later to fix its name, model type, or source without recreating it.
