What ClothesPlus is
ClothesPlus is a Paper plugin for Minecraft Java servers that adds wardrobe overlays and character customization. Players can layer clothing and accessories, including shirts, pants, shoes, and hats, over player skins. The cursor-based character creator supports customization and configurable race and class systems. Players can browse wardrobe items, save or load outfits, and use a 3D preview to zoom, spin the avatar by dragging, and confirm or cancel changes. ClothesPlus can build and send a resource pack, or use ItemsAdder, Nexo, Oraxen, or CraftEngine as a provider. Optional integrations include LuckPerms and Vault, while PacketEvents is required. The current setup recommends Paper 1.21.x and Java 21. The free edition includes a basic wardrobe and commands, MySQL cross-server sync, and Nexo/ItemsAdder support, but has fewer overlay slots than Premium. The free-version listing also depends on SkinsRestorer. A personal MineSkin API key is advised for reliable live skin generation; bundled testing keys may be rate-limited.
