"Maincrafter" was originally conceived as a minimalistic game, which is perfectly visible in its appearance. The developers made a reference to the old classic games, using an eight-bit graphics, although much more advanced technologies are now available. This gives "Maynkraft" a special charm, but many are unhappy with the fact that all players look absolutely the same. Many people want to somehow distinguish their character among others, and for this, there are special external programs-editors, with which you can independently draw your own skin to your character, and then use it in the game.
Variety of editors
Now on the Internet there is a huge amount of ways how to draw a skin for the character "Meincraft". Some of them are simpler, others are more complicated, some have a limited set of functions, while others have so many that you will not re-try everything. Therefore, you immediately need to decide what exactly you want from the editor. If you only want easy differences from the standard skin, the sketch of originality, then choose the editor easier - you can quickly understand it and instantly understand how to draw a skin. But if you want to literally create a complete work of art, create a skin of the character from scratch, then you need an editor more impressive. True, and spend time on it will have much more, since its functions are really impressive. So, you went to the editor's site - and what's next? How to draw a skin with it?
Using Templates
The first way that most players use is the use of pre-prepared versions of one or another element. You do not have to jump above your head, just pick up those elements that you like best. Most often in such editors it is possible to separately process each part of the body: the head, arms, legs, trunk. Going, for example, to the processing head, you can choose what you will edit - eyes, nose, mouth, hair and so on. And when you already make a choice, you will be offered all possible design options, among which you will find the one that you like most, and apply it. In the same way you need to deal with all the remaining parts of the body, and as a result you will have your own unique character. This is the simplest version of how to draw a skin in Minecraft, but there is also a more complex method, which, however, gives a more unique and impressive result.
Detailed drawing
Using templates is a quick and easy method to make your character unlike others. However, it can not be said that you have completely made an appearance for your hero - there remains some non-uniqueness. And if that does not suit you, then you can figure out how to draw the skin in Minecraft completely independently. This is much more complicated, it can take much longer, but the result is worth it. So, to implement your plan, you need a quality editor, in which you can manually sketch the skin. The start window of this editor is an image of the standard character "Maincrafter", but you can make any changes. You can twist and rotate it in any way, rotate and inspect from all directions - and, naturally, from all sides you can make changes to the appearance of your character. As it becomes clear in the end, drawing a skin for "Meincraft" is not so difficult - it just takes a long time. You can delete certain parts of the body for a while, to work in more detail with others, you can use various tools - at your disposal a large number of various ways to transform the character. But what to do with the result?
Saving the skin
But to draw a skin for "Minecraft" 1.5.2 is small - you need to make it so that it is saved on your computer. To do this, you need to give it the correct name and put it in the right folder - only then you will have a chance to download it into the game and use it for the intended purpose. So, save the new appearance of your hero in a file with the extension png, and you need to name it char. This name is also found in Russian slang, while the word "spell" means "character", that is, everything is quite logical - the character's skin is stored under an available name. Now go to the correct location of the skin, and for this you'll need to find where exactly you have the game installed on your computer, and then go to the bin folder that contains the main game files. There will be a file called "minecraft", only this is not the file through which you start the game - this file has the extension "jar". You can open it with any archiver, and when its contents are unzipped, you can add a file with your character's skin to the folder "mob". Now you will play with the new appearance of your hero.
Skin in a single player game
Creating skins is not a trick, so no one will punish you for using out-of-game software to create an appearance for the character. But even if you figured out how to install the skins drawn, then you will face another problem. The fact is that when trying to start a multiplayer game you can not see the new skin of your character - it will only work in a single player game. Therefore, you will have to accept that only you can see the beauty created by you.
Purchase games
However, from this situation there is a simple way out, which, however, will require you to spend financial resources. The matter is that "Minecraft" is distributed free of charge, but, as in most similar games, some functions can be obtained only if you pay a certain amount. Without these functions, you can play calmly and without problems, but their presence makes the game better and more interesting. These functions include the display of the skin in a multiplayer game. Once you make a payment, you can upload your creation to the game and start a battle on the network - your opponents will see your skin and will be able to admire your creation.
