How to Install Minecraft
Now that you have your download ready, just double click the installer as pictured above, if running a Windows system. You might need to use the .jar file at the bottom of the list for Mac and Linux, I won't go into details because I don't have those operating systems.
If double clicking didn't work (Tixati would do nothing when I double clicked mine), just use the option "Open Folder" or something similar, then run Minecraft 1.13.1.exe from Windows Explorer directly, otherwise, go to the next step...
I like to use the default settings. For some reason the option for changing it is grayed out on my system, perhaps because I already have it installed and it will just update my game...
Hiiiii, I figured out a way of how to use skins if you use texture packs. I have a PC and this is how I do it.
1) Download whatever texture pack you like that is compatible with the version you play.
2) Download a skin that is also compatible with the version you play. *Make sure it is a .png file*
3) Make 2 copies of the skin and rename the 2 skins "alex" and "steve" without the quotations.
4) Copy the 2 skins.
5) Go into the Compressed (zipped) folder of the texture pack. *Do not unzip texture pack.*
6)Follow this path: assets>minecraft>textures>entity
7) Paste the 2 skins inside the "entity" folder. If it asks to replace the files, replace them.
8) Install the texture pack. There are hundreds of Youtube tutorials if you don't know how to do that.
9) Check if it works.
*This essentially turns every Steve and Alex into the skin you wanted which might not be ideal if you play multiplayer. You can always do 2 different skins and name one "steve" and the other "alex". It's all up to you. I've done this with 2 texture packs and it worked both times.*
Yes! That's a brilliant solution, I think I have read about it sometime in the past. Some resource packs will change the skins as well, I think?
Now, to use custom skins without a Mojang account I think you need a mod or something.
Yeah, I think you need a mod otherwise but if you like almost vanilla gameplay and don't want to fuss with mods I think the resource pack solution works pretty well. Also, this past week was the first time I've ever played Minecraft, so I think it's pretty doable for new players like myself.
That sounds awesome! I really wish to see you playing in our server! I have been streaming a few times per week from it.
can i download mods?
Yes! You can see on my videos that I have lots of plugins on my server as well.
hello!! ive got two questions.
1.can u change your skin?? and if so, how? ive been trying to figure it out but i cant seem to lay my hands on it, please help!!
2.im just trying to make sure but, playing with friends is possible, right?
Not with this version, you need a Mojang account and to play on single player or servers that give support to skins (closed ones).
Yes, you can play with friends.
thank you so much!!
