Custom Skins - Bored-Face/pose-resources GitHub Wiki

To add a custom player skin to the P.O.S.E. resource pack, follow these steps:

1. Add the Skin File

   Place the skin file (in .png format) into the following directory: assets/bored-face.pose/textures/players/ Rename the file to match the player's name in all lowercase letters. Example: LardTom.png → lardtom.png

2. Copy and Rename the Model Files

   Navigate to: assets/bored-face.pose/models/players/ Choose the correct base model depending on the player's arm type:

   • Use default_slim/ for slim arms (Alex model)
   • Use default_wide/ for regular arms (Steve model)

   Make a copy of the appropriate folder and rename it to the player's lowercase name. Example: default_wide → lardtom

3. Update the Model Files Navigate into the newly renamed directory (e.g. lardtom/).

   Inside, you'll find a few .json files. (body.json, head.json, leftarm.json, leftleg.json, rightarm.json and rightleg.json)

   In every .json replace every default_slim or default_wide instance with the player's name in lowercase. See this example below:

   This...

   {
   	"parent": "bored-face.pose:template/body",
   	"textures": {
   		"skin": "bored-face.pose:players/default_wide"
   	}
   }

   ... will become that

   {
   	"parent": "bored-face.pose:template/body",
   	"textures": {
   		"skin": "bored-face.pose:players/lardtom"
   	}
   }

4. Copy and Rename Item File

   Navigate to: assets/bored-face.pose/items/players/ Make sure to select the right folder. It is not .../models/item/ or .../textures/item/! Here, you can copy any existing .json file e.g. default_wide.json, and rename it to the player's name in all lowercase again.

   Example: default_wide.json → lardtom.json

5. Update the Item File

   Inside the file you've just copied (in our case default_wide.json) and renamed, replace every instance of default_wide with the player's name in lowercase (in our case lardtom). See this example below:

   This...

   {
   	"model": {
   		"property": "custom_model_data",
   		"type": "minecraft:select",
   		"cases": [
   			{
   				"when": "head",
   				"model": {
   					"type": "minecraft:model",
   					"model": "bored-face.pose:players/default_wide/head"
   				}
   			},
   			{
   				"when": "body",
   				"model": {
   					"type": "minecraft:model",
   					"model": "bored-face.pose:players/default_wide/body"
   				}
   			},
    		...
   		]
   	}
   }

   ... will become that

   {
   	"model": {
   		"property": "custom_model_data",
   		"type": "minecraft:select",
   		"cases": [
   			{
   				"when": "head",
   				"model": {
   					"type": "minecraft:model",
   					"model": "bored-face.pose:players/lardtom/head"
   				}
   			},
   			{
   				"when": "body",
   				"model": {
   					"type": "minecraft:model",
   					"model": "bored-face.pose:players/lardtom/body"
   				}
   			},
    		...
   		]
   	}
   }

6. Done! That's it! Your custom player skin is now integrated into the resource pack and ready to use.
