Life Skins

A server-side modification that automatically changes players' appearance based on their life count. Works without restarting Minecraft! Requires the Life Series mod for life tracking, and Fabric Tailor for proper functionality (planned to remove this dependency in future updates).

How it Works

When your life count changes (due to death, commands, or automatic assignment), your character instantly receives the corresponding appearance. The system is fully automated and requires no manual intervention.

Available Commands:

• /lifeskins reload — forcefully sets appearance based on current life count (if automatic triggering didn't occur)
• /lifeskins reloadAll — updates all players' appearances (admins only)
• /lifeskins setup — displays setup instructions
• /lifeskins skins — shows all available characters

Appearance Setup

1. Create a "lifeskins" folder inside the configuration directory (/config)
2. Inside it, create another folder with your game profile name
3. Place appearance files in this folder, naming them according to the minimum life count

Example: For user Atlas and appearance at 1 remaining life, the path would be /config/lifeskins/Aтлас/1.png

By default, the classic character model is used. For the slim model, create a skins.json file with the following content:

{ "slim": true }

Advanced Settings

The skins.json file allows flexible customization of appearances through JSON array config:

{ 
  "skins": [
    {
      "name": "config.png",
      "lives": 4,
      "slim": true
    }
  ]
}

Parameters:

• name — appearance file name
• lives — minimum life count for activation
• slim — use slim model (overrides global settings)

All changes apply instantly and require no server restart.
