Why is my minecraft cannot load a local and platform skin?

Hi Kyle,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I understand that you're having issues changing the skin of your character in Minecraft. If Minecraft doesn't recognize your skin, then go to the main Minecraft Settings page, find the General tab, and make sure "Only Allow Trusted Skins" is toggled off.

Here is how to equip new items to your character in the dressing room.

Note: The Dressing Room is exclusive to Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.

How to use the Dressing Room in Minecraft

Start Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.

How to equip classic skins in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition

If you instead want to use a classic skin from something you purchased in the Marketplace, do the following:

Start Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.

Select Dressing Room.

Select the character slot you want to change the skin of or a new one.

Select Edit Character.

Select Classic Skins on the left bar.

Browse through and select the skin you want to use.

Click Equip.

Note: Classic skins cannot be customized with character creator items.

If you're still experiencing issues, go into the game settings, log out of your Minecraft account, and then log back in to resync your account.

Hey Froskura

Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are currently unable to transfer your Minecraft skin across platforms.

Just to confirm, you mentioned that you applied your skin on Minecraft Pocket Edition for mobile phones and then you go n your PC and try to load your account, but then you are reverted to a default skin?

If you have already attempted reviewing the
custom skins for Windows 10 article, and considering the steps you have attempted already, to further troubleshoot I would have to refer your over to the

Minecraft Community as they will be much better equipped to assist you with getting this resolved.

I'm sorry about any confusion or turmoil this might have induced.

Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Advisor, and I'll do my best to help you.

If you are having trouble seeing your Minecraft skin on the SootMC server, there are a few things you can try:

Make sure that you are signed in to your account: If you are not signed in to your Minecraft account, your skin will not appear. Check to make sure that you are signed in to your account on the launcher and on the server.

Check the server settings: Some servers have settings that override player skins or restrict custom skins. Check the server's website or forums to see if there are any specific rules or settings regarding player skins.

Try a different skin: Sometimes skins can become corrupted or fail to load properly. Try changing your skin to a different one, then back to your original skin, to see if this resolves the issue.

Wait for the skin to load: Sometimes it can take a few moments for skins to fully load on a server, especially if there are many players online. Wait a few minutes to see if your skin eventually appears.

If none of the above steps work, there may be a technical issue with the server or with Minecraft itself. You can try contacting the SootMC server administrators or Minecraft support for further assistance.

Hi there,

No the minecraft website does not show my account owning Java edition. I cannot change my skin or access my player name.

Hi Benjamin,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I understand that you're having issues with your Minecraft skin. When you mentioned that it does not load, do you mean it's showing on your dressing room but your friends can't see it? Or you don't see it completely in your dressing room?

To check, start the Minecraft Launcher.

Sign into the Launcher using the Microsoft account you use to play Minecraft.

Start the latest release of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.

Select Dressing Room and locate your item in the appropriate section.

Keep me posted.

Regards,

Alvaro
