With so many ways you can mod Minecraft’s look and feel, why shouldn’t you also be able to customize our hero Steve? Admittedly, his base design is pretty lackluster.
The good news is all players in Minecraft can easily change their skins. This is a feature which Mojang, the creator of Minecraft, actually supports. With that being said the Minecraft community has developed and shared countless skins that you can install on Windows PC’s or Mac’s. With a new skin, you can enjoy adventures as your favorite game or movie character or maybe even as your own unique creation!
How to download Minecraft skins PC Edition
Minecraft skins are very lightweight image files in PNG format. The uninstalled skins resemble non-assembled paper dolls. You can download multiple free skins from websites like Skins4Minecraft. You can save your skins anywhere on your PC, just do not forget the name of the folder.
Before you start downloading dozens of skins right and left, you need to know how to install them on Windows. Ensure that you have Minecraft installed, of course! By default, the latest version is recommended; however, one can use an older version as well. You need a Mojang account and profile, as well as the PNG file of the Minecraft skin you want to install.
1. To search for a particular skin, visit www.skindex.pro
2. Go to Minecraft.net, and log in to your account.
3. Click on “Profile”.
4. You will see the section where you can change your skin from the default Steve skin. You can drag-and-drop or click select a file in order to upload it. The PNG skin file is usually tiny and strange-looking!
5. Wait a second, load up Minecraft game, and boom, meet your new avatar!
