Forceskin Lib

Showcase

As you can see, every player has the floatie on. This is all possible in Vanilla Minecraft, and is very easy to put on. For more previews of what the forced skin looks like on other players, make sure to check out the gallery

Description

What this pack does is it makes it so that everyone has a specific skin. You can't change the skin that everyone is using, and I may add more skins to the pack in the future (or turn this into an API to allow other people to create their own addons). Right now, it gives everyone a cute duck floatie, which was made by girlthatbites specifically for this pack (as you may be able to tell, we wanted to get this pack out in the peak of summer, but we were a bit late on that...) The icon of the pack was also made by her.

I first made this texture pack almost a year ago. However, it was basically just made by chaining a lot of if statements together. The if statement checked what coordinate it was on the current entity, and then just set it to a specific color. It was extremely horrible for loading the texture pack, and made it take a lot longer than usual. Another thing was that it also did it for a lot of other entities. These two factors made it so that I didn't upload the pack.

The pack is now made up of a big switch statement. I cannot use SSBOs, VBOs, an uploaded texture, or an array. It has to be either a switch or chained if statements in order for this to work. Due to this, it still may take a little bit longer than usual to load. However, the switch statement is very fairly optimized, so it shouldn't add too much time to the loading.

How to Use

1. It's very simple, just apply the pack as normal. No need to unzip, just put it in your resourcepacks folder or drag it into the resourcepacks screen.
2. If the pack doesn't show up, it's most likely because you have recursive resources, and you need to click "Folder View" in the bottom left and then search for the pack (the pack is called "Summer ForceSkin")

For Pack Creators (v2.0.0+)

First, you must create your skin you want people to be forced to wear.

1. This should be created as any normal skin
2. If there is a part of the skin that you would like to be forced to be transparent (rather than just overlaying on their skin), then make the color of that pixel set to rgba(189, 89, 221, 89). An example of when you would want this is if the player's hair is covering a mask you are trying to force the players to have.

Next, you need to modify the pack.

1. For this, you need to make sure you have python installed. If you do not, then install it.
2. Download and install the pack as normal if you have not already. Then, head to your files where it is installed and unzip the pack.
3. Open the folder you unziped, and move the skin you created into it.
4. In the same directory you placed your skin, there should be a Change Skin.py python script. Open it, and it will prompt you to enter the name of your skin (including the .png at the end). After this, you can apply the texture pack ingame and you will see your skin forced on everyone.

Note that in order to post your newly made pack, you MUST give me credit and link back to the page, as well as making sure to follow the license (of which you can find to the right, only on the original Modrinth page)
