Skin Swapper Technical Mechanics

The mod includes several technical features to ensure skins are rendered correctly across different character models.

Skin Types

Players can manually toggle between the two standard Minecraft character models:

• Classic: The traditional 4-pixel wide arm model (Steve-style)
• Slim: The 3-pixel wide arm model (Alex-style)

The mod typically attempts to auto-detect the correct type based on the skin file's metadata, but the manual toggle ensures compatibility with older or custom-formatted skins.

Refreshing the Library

If new files are added to the /skins/ folder while the game is running, the GUI includes a refresh function that re-scans the directory and updates the in-game list without requiring a client restart.
