Life Skins
Original Creator
Life Skins were originally published by DianacraftGaming as an addon for the Life Series mod.
With permission, the functionality was implemented by me into the main mod.
Life Skins add a way to automatically change your skin based on the number of lives you're on, without having to relog or relaunch the game.
File Structure
All Life Skins are stored in the config/lifeseries/lifeskins/ folder.
To add new skins for a player, let's say Grian, you must make a folder with the player's username in the lifeskins folder - config/lifeseries/lifeskins/Grian/.
Then, add any player skins you wish inside the Grian folder, making sure you name them in the following way: <life_count>.png.
So, for example if I have three different skins for 3, 2 and 1 life, I'll add them to the folder and name them 3.png, 2.png and 1.png.
TIP
You can also add skins for zero lives and unassigned lives, 0.png and null.png, respectively.
TIP
You don't have to add skins for all life counts, the mod will automatically choose the skin with the closest number of lives that is less, or equal to the number of lives the player has.
If the mod cannot assign a skin file to you, it will revert to your original skin
For example, if I only add 4.png and 2.png, the following skin assignments will happen:
- 5+ Lives ->
4.png - 4 Lives ->
4.png - 3 Lives ->
2.png - 2 Lives ->
2.png - 1 Life -> Original Skin
- 0 Lives -> Original Skin
Limited Life
In Limited life, the number of lives will be in seconds, so if i want to add a skin for 16+ hours, it will be 57600.png
Slim Skins
Adding _slim behind any skin file name will cause that skin to be loaded in its slim variant, for example 1_slim.png.
Life Skins Command
Once you add any skins, you have to run the /lifeskins reload command, to reload them in game.
You can also run /lifeskins list, to list all the loaded skins, confirming your folder structure is correct.
