Been working on the mobile version of our #minecraft skin editor, and have a beta out for all to test and give feedback.

Currently missing a few features, like gallery integration and layer support, but is getting close to being done.

We have just released our biggest update to the site ever! Our skin editor, the main attraction of the site, has been fully rewritten, finally replacing the very outdated old editor!

The site is also now fully #opensource! Check us out @ needcoolershoes.com!

Looking for feedback on a different layout for the new editor. Do people like it? Is there anything else about the layout that should be changed?

nice

We have added layer filters to the new editor! These filters are non-destructive, meaning they do not change the underlying pixels of the layer, allowing them to be easily changed.

As well, buttons have gotten a visual overhaul thanks to @p4ncake4451.bsky.social.

Signed in users can now upload skins to mineskin, in order to generate the command to give the head as an item in game.

Thanks to @mineskin.org for generously granting the site 5k credits for free!

We have been working on a rewrite of the skin editor for the site, and hope to release it some time this year.

If you would like to try out what we have so far, check out beta.needcoolershoes.com (please note that it is unfinished).

Working on the rewrite of the editor (take 2). This is what is there so far. UI is mostly a clone of the first new editor attempt, but uses @lit.dev for all web component goodness.

NeedCoolerShoes now has social media!!!

What is it, you may ask? Well, NeedCoolerShoes is a powerful but user friendly Minecraft skin editor / gallery.

It is a restoration of an old site: Miners Need Cool Shoes, which one day mysteriously vanished from the internet...
