# Skin Statues

SkinStatues turns any valid Minecraft player's skin into a towering, fully 3D block statue built directly in your world. It supports classic and slim player models, transparent pixels, and modern outer skin layers such as hats, jackets, sleeves, and pants.

The server resolves the skin, matches its colors to a curated block palette, and builds the statue gradually to avoid one large burst of world changes. Each player's latest completed statue can be safely undone.

### Highlights

* Full 3D statues made from normal Minecraft blocks
* Works with valid Minecraft usernames, even when the player is offline
* Classic and slim arm support
* Optional hats, jackets, sleeves, and pants
* Configurable statue scale and build speed
* Customizable block palette
* Incremental construction and undo
* Available for Paper and Fabric
* No client mod required
* Optional creation menu for Fabric clients

{% hint style="warning" %}
Fabric builds are Minecraft-version-specific. The SkinStatues JAR and Fabric API must match the server's exact Minecraft version.

SkinStatues does not require WorldEdit, a database, or another plugin. It changes normal world blocks, so access should only be granted to trusted players.

### Quick example

Stand where the statue's feet should begin, face the direction in which it should be built, and run:

```
/statue Steve 2
```

This creates a scale-2 statue of Steve in front of you, facing back toward you.

To restore the blocks replaced by your latest completed statue:

```
/statue undo
```

Start with Installation, then read Creating statues and Commands and permissions.
