A skin changes your character’s appearance and makes it easier to recognize in a shared game. Distinguish between a character built from separate pieces, a classic skin, and a Marketplace pack. They are different types of content and are not always managed on the same screen.
Start in the Dressing Room
Open Minecraft and enter the Dressing Room. Browse the customization sections and available classic skins. If you are looking for purchased content, check that you are signed in with the correct account. Your Marketplace library contains the items linked to that account.
Check the appearance before playing
- Select the character you want to change so you do not replace another accidentally.
- View the preview from several angles before confirming the change.
- Check whether an item is free, purchased, or tied to a subscription.
- Keep the original file if you use a supported skin import option.
Options can vary between platforms and versions. If a design is missing, check the Dressing Room, account, and library before reinstalling the game. A skin is a visual customization: it does not unlock survival advantages or replace a game license. Use your own content or designs you have permission to use.
