Armourer's Workshop vs SkinForge: AI Skin Maker

Armourer's Workshop is a free Minecraft Java mod for creating voxel art that changes or adds to player, equipment, and other models. Players can also create decoration blocks for their worlds and share creations through global or server-specific libraries. Equipped player skins can be managed with commands or a GUI, while commands and configuration can make most modded items skinable. The project states support for Better Combat and Epic Fight, among other mods. Downloads are listed for Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge, and the maker's repository includes separate Fabric and Forge project directories. The latest listed release is Build 3.4.0 Beta 3; its notes flag extensive code refactoring and advise backing up a world before updating. The project wiki says it is still being developed, with some pages incomplete. The repository license is Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported. Listed component categories include head, chest, torso, skirt, arms, hands, thighs, legs, feet, wings, phalanxes, and outfit; export formats include OBJ and PLY, with animation support.

SkinForge: AI Skin Maker is an iOS app that creates Minecraft skins from text descriptions, pictures, or sketches.

It exports PNG files for Java and one-tap.mcpack files for Bedrock and Pocket Edition, covering both Minecraft editions. Users can browse community creations, follow creators, and remix skins. Published skins are public with the user's username. The first skin is free; afterward, the site describes tokens and ForgePass without stating their limits.
