AbstractClientPlayer#getSkinType will return "slim" or "default" depending on whether the player is using the Alex or Steve skin type, respectively.

 

To change a player's skin, call AbstractClientPlayer#getPlayerInfo using reflection to get the player's NetworkPlayerInfo then use reflection to set the NetworkPlayerInfo#locationSkin field.
