Skin change minecraft forge

[chomes3884]

This might have been brought up already but I can't find anything on it and tried looking at some videos but they all talk about craked version but here goes.

 

So I have a paid version of Minecraft and I'm using forge 1.10.2 ( So i can play with mods). I want to change my skin so that I'm not Alex. (Still new to playing with forge) So here is what I have done so far.

 

1. Went to minecraft.net and change the .png file there ( but only think this works for non forge minecraft) Did not work.

 

2. I tried opening the java file (with  7-ZIP) for minecraft V1.10.2  and going under the textures-> Entity and then putting the skin i want for my in game skin. The game still loads as alex.

 

3. Tired to do this for the forge version and there is no java file but under the txt file i see that it loads the 1.10.2 java files ( which is why i did step two)

 

Is there another location in the forge file system I need to change for this to take effect. I hope I have enough info to see what I'm doing wrong and sorry if it something easy and I'm over looking something. Thanks

Forge doesn't do anything to break the skin system of Minecraft.

As long as you have a legit account, and you change your skin on the Minecraft site then you will get the new skin in game.

Note, it takes a while for your skin to propagate

Thank you I changed it about 5 hours ago and still no change yet. If that is the case the website states it shouldn't take long at all.

Nevermind I think I figured out the problem and its working again..

 

I need to pick my Profile name the paid version and then go into edit and change it to run with forge version. I feel really dumb now.

 

 

Thanks again!

Keep up the good work guys
