Minecraft APK adventure game allows you to customize your game character as you like. The character itself is called the Avatar and you can change your Avatar from a limited list in the game. Apart from selecting out of what is given, you can change the skins and customize the Avatar further. This way you can alter the characteristics one by one and have your own personal Avatar.
Customizing the Minecraft Avatar is only a visual change. You should understand that this does not have any impact on your skills in the game. However, it will be fun to try playing with different skins, costumes and shapes. You will enjoy having new appearances each time. This article focuses on methods compatible with the Minecraft APK version.
Understanding Minecraft Skins:
Minecraft Avatar is highly customizable. You can create your own unique Avatar in the game. There will be options for you to change each characteristic of the Avatar. You can change its hair color, hairstyle, skin color, dress, shoes, eyes, etc. The skin changes are available from simple color changes to decorative character designs.
This article will provide you information on creating and applying custom skins downloaded or created from safe and official sources. This is very important to know because you surely do not want any trouble when personalizing your character. If you think of downloading a ready-made Avatar, there are things that you should keep in mind. You should find the most unique as well as the safest source to download what you want.
Finding Custom Skins
The Minecraft users can deeply be misled by unofficial sources that offer Avatar skins. The best and most safe place to look for those skins is the Minecraft Marketplace (if available in the specific Minecraft APK version). You will definitely have to check the compatibility of the source with your existing game version before downloading the skins. If not, you will only be left with the downloaded file and will not be able to use it on the game. It is a good thing that you can get these Avatars for free from most of those websites. But strongly pay attention to the safety and the compatibility of what you are getting.
Another such safe website is minecraftskins.com. Here you can find a long list of Avatars for you to pick out of. You have the chance to download even multiple Avatars to be used in different occasions in the game. This way, as long as you stick to the reputed websites the safety issue will be under control.
The major safety issue associated with Minecraft skins is the risk of malware files that can get into your device together with the download files. There will be complicated problems caused by these viruses. Another problem is the privacy risk. Some websites make your personal information available to third parties without your awareness. So it is advisable to give priority to your safety when trying to enhance the game.
Applying Downloaded Skins
Instructions on applying downloaded skins to the Minecraft APK:
Open the Minecraft launcher and go to the Main Menu. Select Settings and then the Skins options. Now select New Skin. You can browse your files and click on the downloaded skin file from here. It will be previewed for you. If you like the change click “Upload”. This will save the new Avatar to your game account.
When you are browsing the files to find the downloaded Avatar, remember that you should select a PNG file. This is the image format that your skin will be accepted in.
The new skin should also be in your character model size. You can select this size before browsing the Avatar. It is an option when selecting the skin. If your selected size does not match the existing model size the Avatar will not be successfully applied.
You should know that the skins are made of smaller units called pixels. The standard sizes of Minecraft skins are 64×64 pixels and 128×128 pixels. The higher pixel character will be clearer. But, it is your Minecraft version and the relevant resources that decide which size you can apply to it. So again, make sure that what you select is compatible with your Minecraft version. Most of the time, the suitable file will be the 64×64 pixel PNG type.
Creating Your Own Skin
You can create your own Avatar with the option of custom skin using online tools or other dictated apps. First open the editor and try to understand the tools. Next you should pick a character which looks like the one you need. Then select a color palette and edit its hair, skin, clothes, etc. with the help of the tools. Finally, save your new Avatar.
Using tools or apps that require additional software or accessing APK files directly is not a wise thing to do. This is because it contains a lot of risk regarding both the device and your security. It also violates developer terms of service. Therefore, try to get the maximum out of what you have in the standard sources.
However, you can explore online skin editors or creation tools available through web browsers. These tools typically offer safe and user-friendly interfaces for designing custom skins.
Some of the well-known Minecraft Avatar skin editors are BlockBench, Aseprite, skindex, minecraftskins.com, Tynker, BeetrixGaming, Willdabeast314 and TigergirlDW. Once you have got your Avatar ready, you can click on the Upload button to save the changes to your game.
Conclusion
Creating your own Avatar is another fun item that Minecraft offers you. This personalization of the game will grow your interest in visualizing the character in different levels of the game. However, your enjoyment should be safe and durable as well. Therefore, it is important that you only follow the trusted reputed apps and websites to get your Avatar.
