Hey everybody, it’s UnderMyCap, and welcome back to another video! Today, I’m going to show you how to create your very own custom Minecraft skins. They are super simple and easy to make. This video will work for both Java and Bedrock Edition. Unfortunately, for Bedrock, if you are playing on Xbox, PS4, Switch, or any other console, this won’t work for you. Today, I will be using the Planet Minecraft Skin Creator. I love this skin creator so much, and I’ll leave the link in the description to ensure you don’t accidentally use the wrong one. For now, we’re just going to open it in advanced mode, and you’ll notice it gives you this really cool 3D view of a blank character. To create your custom skin, first, I want to show you that you have your color wheel or color triangle over here, which you can use to customize your own pixels. You can select the color you want and then adjust the exact shade. You can also use hex values if you know how to use that sort of coloring. You get to select your color over here, and you can paint away at your character as well. In the editor, you can also use the Paint Bucket to fill in whatever you like. You can see I’ve filled in the front. You can actually rotate the character by simply clicking with your mouse, allowing you to color in other sections as well. A really cool feature you can use is by clicking on the little file icon up here and hitting “Get from MC username.” You can take a skin that someone else has created and edit it yourself. You can do this with your current skin. For example, I’m going to use “UnderMyCap” like this and hit “Get Minecraft skin.” You’ll notice that my character pops up right away, and you can customize it however you like. If you’re a person who doesn’t quite like editing in 3D, you can click on the top right corner and switch to hybrid mode, giving you a different editing style. You can see that I can paint different sections. Right now, I am painting the hidden parts; I’ll show you how to do that later. I can also use the pen tool to draw in pixel mode. Maybe I can change my eyes to green. Oh, that’s a bit creepy! In Minecraft, you can customize a second layer of your character. This second layer is accessible by choosing the little outline section. To enable the hidden armor-type stuff, simply click on the gray boxes. Because I added a jacket, I can select the jacket to display this secondary layer. For example, if I enable the helmet, I can add a sweatband to my character. Notice that if I disable the armor part, my skin remains the same. That’s a really cool feature! Personally, I don’t use that at all; I prefer a 2D skin. When editing in the 3D view, you can also model your character to help paint a few sections more easily. If you click on the tiny person in the top corner, you gain access to a whole bunch of models. For example, I can make my character sit on the grass or stand in the air. I really like this mode because you can see under the arms to paint. Additionally, when you’re in this mode, you can change the positions of characters. I used to make a lot of my thumbnails using this editor, creating poses where my character would hold a little item in his hand. You can spin it all around, and if you want to reset it, just click on any of the little icons here. Now, I’m going to quickly go back to paint mode by clicking the paint button over here. Once you finish with your skin, you can export it. I’ll go to the file menu and hit “Save to file.” Once you hit “Save to file,” it will download in this little thing at the top. I’m using Firefox, but it might change on Chrome; it will just appear in your downloads folder. Next, you want to head over to Minecraft. I’ll open Bedrock edition first. Once you’re in Minecraft Bedrock, I’ll show you how to do Java after this. You want to go to the dressing room and create a new character. I’ll click on this character and hit “Edit Character.” Now, this is quite simple. Unfortunately, you can’t add all these special effects onto your character once you’ve imported your skin; you can only have your basic skin. What you want to do is click on this little green icon and then simply click on this gray box. Once you do this, a button will pop up saying “Choose Your Skin” or “Choose New Skin.” After that, simply click on it, go to your downloads, and open the skin you just created. My character is looking very fun because of the second layer, but now you can see that we’ve imported my character into the Skin Creator. To save it, just hit the back arrow. You’ll see that the character has been saved, and now you have your own custom skin in Minecraft Bedrock Edition. Now let’s do Java Edition. You don’t actually need to be inside the Java game; you just need to be in the Minecraft launcher. First, click on Minecraft Java Edition in the corner, then click on Skins, and select New Skin. Next, hit Browse, go to Downloads, select the skin you just created, and hit Open. You’ll see your skin. Depending on the model you want, you can choose either the wide model (which I just made) or a slim model. You do have to make your skin slightly different in the editor for the slim model, but I’ll just personally use wide because I prefer that. If you have any special capes, you can select them here. For example, if you upgraded your account to Microsoft, you would get this one. Or if you were a customer of Minecraft when they combined Minecraft Bedrock and Java Edition. For now, I’ll just keep no cape. Actually, you know what? We’ll use my cape. Next, you simply need to name it. I’ll call it “Gibberish” because I obviously do not want to play with this character at all, and I will hit save. If you were playing normally and wanted to save it, you could hit save and use. You can also click the use button, so if I clicked use on my player skin, it would set it as my current player skin. All you have to do now is turn off Minecraft and turn it back on. If you’re playing Java, just close Java and open it again, and then you would have your brand-new custom skin. I’ll definitely have to change my skin after this!

It would actually be funny if I left this on for a bit.
