Skins and Textures
Skins are a cosmetic unlockable for pre-purchasing Minecraft. A skin replaces the default character texture with a PNG file the user can upload on the Preferences page. Like many textures, the Minecraft texture is jumbled and distorted looking to save space.



Skins and Pre-purchase
To change or view your custom skin, you must have pre-purchased Minecraft.
