Why can I see my skin on Minecraft but everyone else can’t

Hey Kayla!

Nice to meet you! I'm Darhyl, an Independent Advisor. I'm sorry you are experiencing this. I am here to help.

This seems to be an ongoing glitch in Minecraft:

https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-78206 https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-101579

Kindly try to perform the following troubleshooting steps:

Stop Minecraft

Delete the contents of the skin folder .minecraft/assets/skins/

Restart Minecraft

If that didn't work, the only best option is to contact Mojang for further assistance. You can contact them here at this link:

Thank you for your time. I hope you have a great day!

I have this exact problem. I bought the texture pack under my account but my children can’t see they skin unless they play under my account. It’s on the same xbox why cant we share them?

Hi. My name is Brilliant and I am happy to assist you today.

If you see the default skin in-game refresh by logging out and back in. If everyone's skins show as the default, the server may be running in offline mode.

I hope this helps resolve your query.

Hi there! This is Ronnie, an independent advisor.

I understand you need help with Minecraft.

Just a heads up, you cannot change your skin unless connected to the internet. This is because when you go to skin selection, it connects to the Minecraft store to show you your purchases and other skins you can buy.

It needs to be connected to Minecraft servers because skins are part of their servers for you to use them, unfortunately.

So the real question is why did Microsoft fundamentally change the client to require an internet connection for SKINS of all things? THEY coded it that way. why...? We all know how Microsoft loves little psychological tricks to get people to do what they want. In this case to not play offline, but they didn't want to push too hard by requiring the game to be online only. here's the rub. They gimp the experience enough for people to "choose" to do what you want them to do. Just like mobile games. In other words manipulation.... oh crud, looks like I didn't give you anytime to paste your script and went and just answered the question for you. my bad. I dont expect you'll answer this.
