b. At the top, you have an undo and redo button to undo or redo recent changes.
c. At the top, you have the five drawing tools. From left to right, they are:
i. Pencil: Paint a solid color one block at a time.
ii. Texture Brush: Paint one block at a time while slightly changing the color
to give you the “Minecraft” look.
iii. Eraser: Erase what you’ve made.
iv. Paint Bucket: Fill in solid areas with a single color.
v. Eyedropper: Select a color that’s already on the skin, which you can then
use to paint.
d. For skins and mobs, the block diagram on the right allows you to make one part
of the skin or mob temporarily invisible so that you can paint behind it. For
example, if you want to paint the side torso of your skin, you can make one of the
arms temporarily invisible by clicking the arm on the diagram. This allows you to
edit areas of the body that are covered by other body parts.
e. You also can pan around your skin or mob to see it from different angles by
clicking and dragging in the white space next to the skin/mob.
7. When you’re happy with your creation, click “Save.”
8. After you save a resource, you will see a green dot on the card in your My Projects tab.
This means that the resource is active and will appear in your Minecraft world after you
connect to the server. You can deactivate the resource by clicking on the three dots in
the top right of the card and selecting “Deactivate.” Note that the resources will all
appear under their original names in Minecraft, not as the name that you created for it.
9. To use a skin, you will need to download the skin and upload it to minecraft.net.
I. Click on the three dots at the top right of the card for the skin and select
“Download.” This will download the file as a .png image.
II. Note whether your skin is an “Alex” or “Steve” template. You can find this
information by clicking on the skin. It will tell you which template you’re using
under the diagram on the right.
III. Go to minecraft.net and log in to your Minecraft account.
IV. Click on your email at the top right of the screen and choose “Profile” from the
drop-down menu. Choose whether you’ve worked from an “Alex” or “Steve”
template. Then click “Choose File” and choose the .png image that you’ve just
downloaded and hit “Upload.”
V. When you go back to Minecraft, your skin will automatically be available. You can
see it in third person with the F5 key.
