Skin pack Creator for Minecraft

Game players love creating and customizing their character skins – their appearance. This guide shows you how you can customize your appearance in Minecraft: Education Edition.

If you want to do this on your iPad see the guide HERE

If you want to make a skin with Slim features use the app HERE

Minecraft Education Edition requires you to create a MCPACK file which contains all the files required for your custom Minecraft skin. The PNG image file and a couple of JSON files.  Matt’s work means you only need to have the PNG image and his online tool will create the JSON files and package those with your image into the MCPACK file required by Minecraft.

So now only a couple of steps are needed – lets get into it.

Step 1 – Create your Custom Minecraft Education Edition Skin

  • go to The Skindex – create, edit and download the PNG file required for your new custom Minecraft skin
  • (you can go to any site that has PNG files of skins, also see https://mcpedl.com/)

Step 2 – Create the MCPACK File

  • Complete the Form with the Name of your Skin, Name of your Skinpack and a Version number for your Skinpack (can be any number)
  • Browse to your custom skin PNG file and select
  • If you want to add more Skins to your skinpack click the Add another Skin button.
  • Save the generated MCPACK file containing everything for Minecraft Education Edition to your computer
  • double click the file which will trigger opening Minecraft Education Edition and the import of your new custom skin will happen automatically or open Minecraft Education Edition and choose to Import the MCPACK file.

After your MCPACK Skinpack file is imported it appears in the Skins section of Minecraft Education Edition for you to select

In Minecraft the appearance your character has is referred to as your Skin. Like most gamers, players in Minecraft love to change their characters skin from the default to something else either known or uniquely created by them.

This article will introduce you to some free resources for downloading and creating Minecraft skins for Minecraft Education Edition.

minecraftskins.net

Minecraftskins.net is a good starting point where you can browse and download a Minecraft skin but also edit a skin and create your own. All the necessary editing tools are available and I like that you can change the pose of your character so see more fully what you have created.

The Skindex

The Skindex is similar but has a cleaner looking Skin Editor. This one may appeal to students more as it has less clutter and perhaps an easier editing interface to work with. Easily switch between Slim and Classic skins. It has a better colour picking tool than MinecraftSkins giving you many more options.

Nova Skin has a great interface to work with, bright and colourful for students – almost feels like you’re in Minecraft designing this character. Change the editor background to a number of available Minecraft images. All the creative tools expected are available with addition of a couple of tools I like – the Camera to take a snapshot of your skin and also a GIF tool to create an animated GIF of your creation which you can also download.

Nova Skin provides a number of pre-created features you can easily apply to your skin – eg. clothing, hair, shadow, outfits.

When you first open Blockbench you might think you’ve opened a professional photo editing program, it just has that appearance. But do not hesitate to start using it. You will find it very intuitive and before long you will have the skills to not only create character skins for Minecraft Education Edition but also other models and items for Minecraft. You are really creating from scratch here – there are no user created catalogues to access other than your own.

Blockbench is available to access for free online and also on your device. Download it for Windows, MacOS or Linux.

Those are the editing tools I’d recommend for creating skins for Minecraft Education Edition. Remember it’s not easy to get these created skins into Minecraft so check out my guide on how to do that here.
