• Ping-pong - Animation plays forward then backward

Cape Type

Select a cape overlay to apply to your skin. This is cosmetic and applies Mojang-signed cape textures.

Apply visual effects to your current skin frame:

Hue Shift

Rotate all colors around the color wheel. Useful for creating color variants of the same skin.

Saturation

• -100% - Grayscale
• 0% - Original
• +100% - Vivid, saturated colors

Brightness

Adjust overall brightness without washing out colors.
