STEP-BY-STEP: UPLOAD TO MINECRAFT

Step 1: Download the Skin File

From operations manual:

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

  2. Go to: https://www.minecraft.net/

Step 4: Upload the New Skin

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

    • Flowing design captures Fire element
    • No missing textures

Step 7: Test on Firefrost Server

  1. Connect to play.firefrostgaming.com
  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

VERIFICATION CHECKLIST

  • Alex model selected (slim arms)
