Hi and thanks for reaching out. I hope you’re doing well. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be happy to help you.

Even if you have disabled trusted skins and updated your game, there are a few reasons why your Minecraft skin could not be shown on a multiplayer server. The following are some potential causes and remedies:

1. It's possible that the server you are on is configured to show everyone the default Steve skin because some multiplayer servers have special settings that override the skins of all players. Unfortunately, the only thing you can do to modify this is to switch to a server that supports custom skins.

2. Skin caching: Since your computer may occasionally have an outdated copy of your skin, it's conceivable that this is the root of the problem. You might try emptying the cache for your Minecraft skins to fix this. To achieve this, open the Minecraft launcher, click on "Launch Settings," choose the profile you're using, and then click on "Additional Options." In the "JVM Arguments" text box, enter the string "-Dminecraft.skinServer="https://skins.minecraft.net"; to customize the game's appearance. After making adjustments, start Minecraft. This should require the game to re-download your skin from the server and remove the skin cache.

3. Make sure your skin file is in the right format by checking it. The picture size for Minecraft skins must be precisely 64x64 pixels and must be in the PNG file format. Your skin might not be recognized by the server if it is not in this format.

4. Internet access: If your internet connection is unreliable or slow, the server could be unable to fully load your skin, which could result in it appearing as the standard Steve skin. By joining a quicker or more reliable network, try to improve your internet connection.

I hope this helps you fix the problem so that your skin displays correctly in multiplayer servers.

Hi Fellow gamer,

Thanks for coming to the forums with the issue of skin not showing. We recommend to post on the
Minecraft forums. As there is certain way of getting the skin itself.

Thanks,

Hey junior

Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are inquiring about transferring DLC from the "Minecraft Xbox One Edition" to "Minecraft"

In regards to this matter, as per the
Minecraft Better Together FAQ:

"Most content items will transfer over, be available to be used or purchased on any Bedrock Engine platform and be used in multiplayer with a few exceptions due to licensing restrictions:

Playable on Xbox Only, Not Purchasable, Not Usable in Multiplayer:

• Simpsons Skin Pack
• Marvel Avengers Skin Pack
• Marvel Spider-Man Skin Pack
• Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy Skin Pack

Carries Over from Minecraft: Xbox One Edition, Not Purchasable due to Limited Time offer, Usable in Multiplayer:

• Minecon 2015 Skin Pack

Doesn’t Carry Over from Minecraft: Xbox One Edition to Minecraft due to licensing restrictions:

• Mass Effect Mash-Up Pack
• Doctor Who Skins Volume I
• Doctor Who Skins Volume II
• First Birthday Skin Pack
• Second Birthday Skin Pack
• Third Birthday Skin Pack
• Fourth Birthday Skin Pack
• Fifth Birthday Skin Pack"

However, when I got "Minecraft" I had to purchase all my DLC once more. My recommendation would be to either wait for you to convert to "Minecraft" or head over to the
Minecraft Community and ask there to find much more accurate information.

I hope this was of some help.

From memory not all skin packs carried over to the newer version of the game - have a look at https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/better-together-faq
