Customizable Player Models vs Minecraft Skin Merger

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 Merger is a free web tool for combining two Minecraft skins by choosing which input supplies each whole body part. Inputs can be 64×64 or older 64×32 PNG files, or a skin loaded by username. You select skin A or B for the head, body, each arm, and each leg; the chosen part retains both layers, such as hair and hat. The result can use Classic or Slim arm width, with a mismatched input converted first. Download the merged skin as a PNG or continue in the skin editor. To combine more than two skins, use one merged result as skin A in another merge. Selection does not go below whole body parts, so individual hats or jackets cannot be chosen there. A file opened by the user remains in the browser. Username lookup requests that player’s skin from Mojang, while merging and downloading happen on the page. All tools are free and require no account. Minecraft Skin Lab identifies itself as an independent fan project unaffiliated with Mojang Studios or Xbox Game Studios.
