Editing Avatar

info

In the current version (Beta 2.0.0), you need a 3rd party text editor app (like notepad) to edit your avatar.

Putting Textures

All you need to do is move your textures to <minecraft>/config/skinmatics/textures. PNG file only.

Extra: Applying Avatar To Others (Players And Mannequins)

If you've been in the keybind menu, you might seen "Apply Own Avatar To Targeted Player" and "Remove Targeted Player's Profile".

This feature allow you to apply your own avatar to other players (or the Mannequin entity) temporarily using your currently selected avatar. This was made for you to preview your avatar without the need to go to third-person and lowering your FOV.

Try summoning mannequin using /summon minecraft:mannequin, target your crosshair to the entity and press the "Apply Own Avatar To Targeted Player" key with an active avatar.

This extra feature also works in recording mod like ReplayMod and Flashback
