What SkinMC is
SkinMC is a browser-based Minecraft skin editor for making and adjusting skin textures. Its preview helps you see a skin while working, and the editor lists pen, eyedropper, fill, brightness, and erase tools. Undo and redo, a grid option, and controls for the body, overlay, model, and position provide further ways to edit and inspect the design. You can import, save, and download skins. SkinMC also lists a skin viewer, avatar maker, and achievement tool, plus community features including skins, totems, heads, avatars, capes, banners, servers, and a leaderboard. Separately, its Fabric mod offers custom capes for Minecraft versions 1.18.1 through 1.20.x, as stated on the page. Mod setup requires signing in and connecting a Minecraft account to SkinMC before uploading a cape. Uploaded capes are visible in game to others using the mod. The browser editor is free to use.
