How to Install and Setup SkinRestorer

Restore player skins on cracked servers using the SkinRestorer plugin.


What is SkinRestorer?

Developers: SRTeam

When operating a crack server, you must set online-mode to false. This, however, causes skins to stop working, causing all players who join your server to identify with a Steve or Alex skin. To resolve this situation with crack servers, you'll need to include a plugin that can restore players' skin — which is where Skin Restorer comes in.

Using Skin Restorer allows users to join with the skin associated with their in-game name. The reason why skins don't load in the first place, is because crack servers don't authenticate with the Mojang skin server.

> If you are running a cracked server, please make sure that you've set it up to be safe and secured. Setting online-mode to false can make your server vulnerable.
