For Minecraft players, customization is key to making the game feel personal.

| Problem | Likely Fix | |---------|-------------| | Mod not showing in mod list | Wrong Forge version → reinstall Forge for 1.12.2. File may be corrupted → redownload. | | Skin not loading | Check image dimensions (64x64 or 64x32). Must be PNG. Verify URL is direct (ends in .png ). | | Cape not showing | Some servers block cape mods. Try singleplayer. OptiFine cape may override TLS cape. | | Game crashes on launch | Remove other skin mods (CustomSkinLoader, etc.). Update Java to Java 8. Allocate more RAM (2-3GB). | | Skin loads for me but not others | TLS mod must be installed on (if server requires custom skins). |
The file must reside directly within the .minecraft/mods/ folder.
Use Wireshark or a simple firewall to see if the mod phones home to an unknown IP. A legitimate skin mod should only load PNG images.
