How can I add multiple skins to Minecraft (Windows 10 edition)

Is it possible to add downloaded Minecraft skins to a folder so I can switch between them easily in the game?

I've located a 'skin_packs' folder within the game folder: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\skin_packs.

Can this folder be used in some way? I've tried copying some skins there but they don't display in the skin selector, in game. Is there any way of doing this? Or is the folder above just for purchased skin packs?

You cannot add multiple skins to Minecraft.

What you can do is create a folder anywhere on your computer (preferably Documents) and create a new folder called "Skins" and add all of your skins their, then on the Minecraft Windows 10 main menu , select the Hanger icon and select " Choose new Skin " navigate to the folder you created with all your skins and select the skin you want.

Then next time you change your skin, you will automatically start in that folder you created, making it easy to quickly locate the skin you would like to use next time.

These are all the links to the websites you will need: for downloading McSkinEdit for uploading you skin because everyone needs to follow in the steps of Creepers and stalk their friends!

Step 1: Getting Started.

The first thing you are going to have to do is download a skin editing software called mcskinedit (you can use others but I find this is the best one) Search mcskinedit in Google search to find and click on the first link (or whatever one says minecraft forum) Click on the link that says latest next to it, then click download file. If you are on a Mac the downloads window should pop up.

Step 2: Opening McSkinEdit.

While the download window is still open click on McSkinEdit and while in the folder open up the .jar file. In older version you would have had to enter a code to get the preview working but they have fixed that in this new version. Follow the picture notes because a picture tells a thousand words. Once you have the actual application open you can start!

Step 3: Saving the Application.

Step 5: Making a Pig Skin (not a Football)

With the application open you are ready to start drawing. Just choose a colour (left-click) and move it onto the grey area, then imagine you are breaking a block in the game and hold down left click. Move your mouse to spread it. If you click on tool settings you can change the size of the brush. Watch your preview carefully to make sure it looks how you want. To add noise click on the drop down menu 'Edit' then click add noise. Set level to however harsh you want it. When everything looks how you want it save the file. Make sure you can still find it.

Step 6: Adding You Skin Into Your Game.

This part is on how to add the skin into your actual game. *Note: this will not work if you play offline as the skin is cloud-based. To upload you skin to your game you must first go to the website . Once there click on Login and (obviously) log in. Once logged in as you, click on the link called "profile' at the top of the page.

How to Get Custom Skins on Minecraft Xbox One.

Minecraft fans have long clamored for Mojang and Microsoft to implement custom skins in the game's console versions. These let you change Alex or Steve to look like pretty much whatever you want, from skeletons to zombies, blobs, or myriad other things . But what's the deal with custom skins on Xbox One?

Minecraft Java lets you customize Alex and Steve, but how can you do it in the Bedrock version on Xbox One?

Despite fans having asked for it repeatedly, Minecraft : Bedrock Edition , the version currently on consoles, still won't let you make custom skins or upload them -- legally, at least.

There's always the option to hack your system and upload mods you've created or downloaded on PC, but doing that voids your console's warranty and isn't really recommended.

That leads to the reason why custom skins can't be used in Minecraft for Xbox One or other consoles. Like most PC games, Minecraft Java lets you have control over your game's files and basically everything associated with it. There's no tampering or hacking required to modify certain things, hence the fact there's a lively PC modding scene .

Accessing those files on a console requires hacking the system, which gives access to the entire operating system and opens the door to piracy, code manipulation, and a number of other potential issues and legal headaches for companies.

The easiest way to deal with such issues is to just not allow it. That being said, it shouldn't be too difficult to provide a skin replacement feature like Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition has, so it's a bit baffling why Microsoft hasn't implemented something similar yet.

But you can customize everything else in your console Minecraft world. If you're aching to scratch that creative itch, check out our July edition of the best Minecraft seeds.

Can't find my .minecraft folder in Windows 10 [duplicate]

I currently use Windows 10 and I'm running Minecraft 1.8.

I have seen people say run %appdata&\.minecraft\ but that never worked for me. I really want to download a mod, but I can't until I find this folder.

Unless you only made this typo when typing the question, the problem is that you have a typo in the folder path. Make sure that the symbols are entered correctly.

Correct path: %APPDATA%\.minecraft.

%APPDATA&\.minecraft %APPDATA%.minecraft.

On the Minecraft Start Screen, you can go into Options > Resource Packs. and click Open Resource Pack Folder . It will take you to . /.minecraft/resourcepacks . Then navigate to the parent directory which should hopefully take you to your .minecraft folder.

go to your windows bar and search Run then type %appdata% after that enter and you'll see .minecraft click and go to mods place your mod in close/minimize it open MC and load up the forge version of what version your mod is for e.g floocraft 1.7.10 load up forge 1.7.10.

If you still cannot find the folder after trying the command in Run, try re-installing Minecraft, and then check your folder again.

As an alternative, search Windows (using Windows Search, Cortana, or a program like Everything, which is a lot faster) for the file realms_persistence.json (or other files that are unique to Minecraft). This file, as part of Minecraft, can be found in the folder you're looking for, even if for some reason the .minecraft folder's name got changed, or if it's no longer in C:\Users\*user*\AppData\(Roaming\) . According to this website, the Minecraft folder can be found in C:\Users\(your pc username)\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\ (the string of random characters could vary, I assume).

You can only find the folder if you have bought the java edition which is on the official website.
