Skins page #415

Open TheSenate39 opened 1 year ago

TheSenate39 commented 1 year ago

Is your suggested enhancement related to a problem? Please describe.

The Modrinth launcher bypasses the Vanilla launcher by the way that it functions. In doing so, users who launch through Modrinth never see a Skins selection page as in the Vanilla launcher.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would request the addition of a skin selection/equip page within the Modrinth launcher.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I was about to make this suggestion to, it'd be awesome to have a skin library in-launcher to change skins any at time.

There are mods that add this feature directly to the game, wouldn't that be unfair to them?

TheSenate39 commented 1 year ago

@Felix14-v2 While there might be, there is also the real possibility that certain mods may not be compatible with others, or available in a mod type or game version, such that they would be able to use one of them.

Kazuhiko-Gushiken commented 1 year ago

I say if someone wants to download the mod to allow them to change skins directly in game, then let them. I bet a lot of people would rather have that because it allows them to do it quicker, and in game.

But the problem is:

What TheSenate39 said, about it being incompatible, wrong mod type or game version. Or a mod that becomes abandoned for any reason.

Also, keeping a consistently maintained version of skin changing within the launcher itself, independent to game version or incompatibilities would be more stable and would work for any modpack of any version, since it's external to the game itself.

i was gonna suggest this too, they should really add it so we don't have to open the standalone launcher just to change a skin
