Skin Swapper Modes of Operation

When applying a skin, the mod offers two distinct modes that determine how the change is processed and who can see it.

Mode Description Visibility
Online Mode Authenticates with Mojang's servers to update the account's official skin. Visible to all players on any server.
Offline Mode Changes the skin locally within the client's memory. Only visible to the player (Client-side only).

Online Mode Authentication

To use Online Mode, players must log in through the 'Accounts' section of the mod. This requires entering the credentials associated with the Minecraft account. This process allows the mod to securely send the skin update request to Mojang, mimicking the behavior of the official launcher.
