Mastering Minecraft Skin Changes and Customization

Within Minecraft, players can choose from an array of skins to transform their characters, turning the classic Steve into superheroes like Thor, Spider-Man, fairy tale princesses, or witches, and much more. But do you know how to change skins in Minecraft?

Mytour believes many gamers only stick to default skins without knowing how to customize their characters. In this article, we'll guide you through the simple steps to alter your character's appearance.

Changing Skins in Minecraft PC

Changing skins on the PC version is straightforward. Just follow these 4 steps:

• Open Minecraft Launcher.
• Select the Minecraft Java edition.
• In the menu at the top of the Minecraft Launcher, choose “Skin”.
• Hover over a skin in your library, and the 'Use' button will appear. Click 'Use' to apply that skin.

Want to add a new Minecraft skin to this list? It's simple. Follow these steps:

• Repeat steps 1-3 above to access the Skin menu.
• Click the “New Skin” button (plus sign) to choose a new skin instead of the old one.
• Name your new skin in the 'Name' field (you can skip this step).
• Click 'Browse', then upload the skin file (.png) from your computer.
• Click 'Save & Use' to use it immediately, or 'Save' to add it to your skin list.

Changing Minecraft Skins on Mobile (Pocket Edition)

Mobile gamers using Minecraft Pocket Edition can also change skins, though there aren't many free options.

• Open Minecraft Pocket Edition on your phone.
• In the main menu, under the character image, there's a 'Profile' button. Tap it to open the skin change menu.
• Select a character skin you want to use. There are few free skins, but you can tap the 'Edit Character' button to customize them uniquely.
• If you want new skins, you'll need to import them into the game by selecting Edit Character > Import. We'll guide you on where to download skins in the next section.
• Another option is to visit the Marketplace and buy skins using Minecoin. The cheapest Minecoin pack costs around 50,000 dong, providing 320 coins.
