Forceskin Lib

This image clearly shows that every player has the duck floatie overlay. This effect is achieved using vanilla Minecraft features without installing additional mods, with setup taking just minutes.

Main Features

This resource pack replaces all players' default skins with a predetermined option. The current version features a cute duck floatie created specifically for this project by artist girlthatbites - who also designed the pack's icon.

Technical Details

The original version of this pack appeared nearly a year ago and used an extremely inefficient approach with multiple conditional statements. This method significantly slowed texture loading and affected performance.

The current implementation uses an optimized switch structure that speeds up processing considerably. Unfortunately, Minecraft's limitations prevent the use of more modern technologies like SSBOs or VBOs, so some loading delay still exists, but it's minimal.

Simple Installation

1. Download the resource pack and move it to your resourcepacks folder or simply drag the file into the corresponding window in-game
2. If the pack doesn't appear in the list, the folder view mode might be enabled - in that case, use the "Folder View" button in the bottom left corner and find the resource pack named "Summer ForceSkin"

Creating Custom Skins

Starting from version 2.0.0, it's possible to create your own forced skin variations:

Skin Preparation:

• Create a standard skin in the usual format
• To create transparent areas (for example, when you want a mask to not cover player hair) use color rgba(189, 89, 221, 89)

Modification Process:

1. Ensure you have Python installed
2. Download and extract the original resource pack
3. Place your skin in the unpacked folder
4. Run the Change Skin.py script and enter your filename with .png extension
5. Apply the modified resource pack in-game - all players will now use your skin

Community and Development

Thanks to its flexible architecture, the resource pack can serve as a library for creating various thematic packs with forced skin replacement.
