## STEP-BY-STEP: UPLOAD TO MINECRAFT

### Step 1: Download the Skin File

**From operations manual:**
```bash
cd /path/to/firefrost-operations-manual
cp branding/minecraft-skins/the-emissary-fire-64x64.png ~/Downloads/
```

**Which version to use:**
- **Standard (64x64):** Works on all servers, classic Minecraft look
- **HD (128x128):** Better detail on flame patterns

**Recommendation:** Start with **64x64** (standard)

### Step 2: Log into Minecraft.net

1. Open browser
2. Go to: **https://www.minecraft.net/**
3. Click **Log In** (top right)
4. Enter Microsoft account credentials for **Meg's account**
5. Complete 2FA if enabled

### Step 3: Navigate to Profile Settings

1. Click profile icon (top right)
2. Select **Profile** from dropdown
3. View current skin preview

### Step 4: Upload the New Skin

1. Click **Choose File** button
2. Select `the-emissary-fire-64x64.png`
3. Click **Upload**

**Skin preview should update** showing the fire mage design.

### Step 5: Select Skin Model

**For The Emissary skin:** Select **Alex** (slim model)

This skin was designed for the Alex model (3-pixel wide arms, more feminine appearance).

### Step 6: Verify in Minecraft Java Edition

1. Launch Minecraft Java Edition
2. Log in with Meg's account
3. Create new world or join existing

   - ✅ Ember accents and gold trim
   - ✅ Flowing design captures Fire element
   - ✅ No missing textures

### Step 7: Test on Firefrost Server

2. Ask Michael or Holly: "Can you see my fire mage skin?"
3. Verify others see the skin
4. Take screenshot

## TROUBLESHOOTING

### Problem: Skin doesn't appear in-game
**Solution:**
- Relog completely (quit and relaunch)
- Wait 1-5 minutes for propagation
- Clear skin cache if needed

### Problem: Skin looks wrong/stretched
**Solution:**
- Ensure **Alex model** is selected (not Steve)
- Re-upload and verify Alex model

### Problem: Arms look too wide
**Solution:**
- You selected Steve instead of Alex
- Re-upload and choose Alex (slim arms)

### Problem: Others can't see the skin
**Solution:**
- Wait 5 minutes for Minecraft sync
- Ask them to relog
- Verify correct account logged in
