Skins Not Loading (Minecraft For Xbox One)

BornToLose129 · Apr 3, 2019

I've tried to find a solution to this on every forum possible but just simply can't find anything.

On Minecraft for Xbox One (not the Xbox One Edition, just Minecraft), regardless if I choose a skin from the 'coathanger' at the main menu or go into to Minecraft store to find a skin I want to apply, not a single skin loads when I enter a public server.
My player-model and several other players will be blank-white models. Special custom-skins and those from other creators from the store will load, but official Mash-Up or Skin Packs, even the default Steve skin, will not load.

I've tried clearing my storage, power-cycling my console, re-syncing my data and jumping into multiple servers for good measures, all to no avail. And in spite of how many search terms I use to describe this issue, almost nothing shows up online, as if I'm
the only person encountering this issue.

What is happening and how do I fix this?

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.

I've tried removing and reinstalling my accounts, game, and clearing the resent storage and resyncing to the cloud and none of that has worked. I've even tried moving it from an external to the internal harddrive

I've just had the same happen to me!New update appears to have frozen the game!Help!

Hey there BornToLose!

Sorry to hear that you're dealing with this inconvenience when it comes to trying to load your Minecraft skins. I would suggest if you haven't already, perhaps remove and redownload your account as outlined in our

How to add or remove a Microsoft account on Xbox One.

When you get a chance, give that a shot and let us know how that helped.

Thanks
