Customizable Player Models vs Minecraft Skin Generator

Customizable Player Models is a free, MIT-licensed project for creating custom avatars for Minecraft Java Edition. Its editor lets users alter vanilla player parts, add custom model parts and textures, and hide or move pieces of the normal player model. Textures can be animated, and parts of a skin can glow. Models must be exported and loaded by uploading the exported image as a Minecraft skin; exported models can also be stored in unused skin space or as a GitHub Gist. Export options include a Minecraft skin file, .cpmmodel, and Base64 model data. The maker lists mod downloads for Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, and Quilt across Minecraft versions. An optional Bukkit/Spigot plugin supports in-game skin changes and offers the same features as installing the mod on a Forge or Fabric server. Voice chat animations need separate compatibility mods. ViveCraft support is listed, and OSC-driven animations require the CPM OSC compatibility addon. The model-sharing site is under development; the project links to Discord for support and bug reports.

Minecraft Skin Generator is a web service that creates Minecraft skins from text prompts using custom generative models. Its maker says it starts with generative art models and fine-tunes its own models to produce skins for in-game use. The FAQ recommends describing a character with more detail than a single word to improve results. Users can download the currently selected skin file and use it in game. Minecraft is the only game currently available. The Noob plan costs nothing and includes 5 free skin generations. One-time paid plans add generations and access to new and improved skin generation models: Hobbyist is $2.49, paid once for 50 additional generations, Gamer is $4.99, paid once for 125, and Pro is $9.99, paid once for 333; each also includes 5 free generations. The site links to Discord and provides a Contact Us link. Its privacy policy says personal information may be processed in Canada, the United States, or locations where the company or service providers operate, and names Google Analytics, MailChimp, and Google AdSense as third-party services.
