🎨 NovaSkin — Complete Skin & Cape Management

Set any skin. On any player. At any time. NovaSkin gives server administrators and players full control over Minecraft skins and capes — no restarts, no delays, instant results.

✨ Features

🧍 Skin Management

  • Set skins by Minecraft username, direct image URL, or Base64 upload
  • Apply skins to online and offline players alike
  • Reset any player to their real Mojang skin instantly
  • Copy a skin from one player to another in one command
  • Per-player skin history (last 20 changes with timestamps)
  • Force re-fetch to refresh a skin from Mojang on demand

🦸 Cape Support

  • Capes are automatically detected and attached when fetching a Mojang skin (if that account owns a cape, it comes with it)
  • Attach a cape from any Mojang username or a direct URL
  • Remove a cape independently without touching the skin
  • Skin and cape are always preserved separately — no accidental overwrites

💾 Storage & Performance

  • SQLite out of the box — zero setup required
  • MySQL support with HikariCP connection pooling for larger networks
  • In-memory TTL cache (configurable, default 6 hours) — skips API calls entirely on repeated requests
  • All API calls, database queries, and skin fetches are fully async — the main thread is never blocked

🏷️ Skin Aliases

  • Save frequently-used skins as named aliases (/skin alias set ninja Notch)
  • Apply aliases to any player with one command
  • Manage your alias library with list, remove, and apply

🔌 Integrations

  • PlaceholderAPI — expose skin name, source, cape status, and more to scoreboards, tab lists, and chat plugins
  • Mineskin API — generate signed textures from image URLs with optional API key for higher rate limits
  • Mojang Session API — fetches full signed profiles including capes

🛡️ Admin Controls

  • Full permission node tree — granular control per group
  • Cooldown system with bypass permission
  • Audit trail — every skin change logs who set it and when
  • /skin reload to hot-reload config and messages without restart
