The infinite loading bug for skin packs is fixed in Version 1.18.30, please ensure you have updated your Minecraft to this latest version to resolve this issue :)
the bug is still there does it have something to do with the lang file because i saw somepeople said if your in the uk use UK instead of US does it also happen with asia so i use AS
I checked the latest update with the pack I used in the video and equip button is there for me, so I don’t know. It looks to be working for me. Lang files should not effect the button from displaying, Lang files is to display text in different languages and doesn’t affect how the pack works
Looked this up for fun, expecting it to be long and complicated, finished it a pack in a couple of minutes with this tutorial, really great, fast and simple.
@@Druzhh You need to open code writer as administrator, by default the location of the skins folder is protected on windows. if this fails copy the file to a location like your desktop, edit it and then move it back.
hi, so everything is working fine and great only for one thing, the pack's name is "skin.example". ive already edited the .lang file but it's still the same, any help?
Its hard to say without seeing it, but the most common cause is that the name that's in manifest.json is not the same as it is in the .lang file so it doesn't pick it up. Alternatively You can change the name in manifest.json directly so you don't need a .lang file
Thank you so much for this @MRBBATES1 . I thought it was going to take weeks to make a collection of skin packs for my kids but after watching this tutorial, the kids had their favourite skins imported and pleased with their looks. Quick question please, if I want to add another skin to the pack that has already been imported, how do I do this? I thought if I just update the version number in the manifest file and re-import it, it should work but it just fails. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.
I'm glad this was easy to follow for you, I'm sure your kids are very happy with their customer skins :). Unfortunately Minecraft does not offer the ability to manage skins, so if you need to add more you need to navigate to C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\skin_packs and delete the pack you previously imported, then all you need to do is add the new one to your original skin pack files, re-package it up as you did before and then re-import it and it should then have the new skins in.
hi so importing the skins n all worked but when i equip a skin, it changes to a different one in the skinpack??? for example when i equip the first skin in the pack, itll equip the 3rd skin instead, what did i do wrong?
That’s odd, I have not seen that behaviour before. In first instance check the skins.json file and ensure the texture names are correct. Other wise submit as a bug on the tracker.
Thanks for the tutorial actually easy to follow through though me being a dummy it took me a couple times to get the coding correct but I managed to figure it out in the end!
lol do you know if there is any way to undo it? was not paying enough attention and turned the wrong folder into the .mcpack and now game just crashes whenever I go to the tab, tried looking for if it created a folder with iobit unlocker but could not find anything
I know this was made a while ago and I haven't tried it yet myself but there is one thing I'm wondering and it's about the geometry file. If you were able to say get a custom geometry file with this skin template couldn't you technically make one of those skins with custom geometry? For example add 3d ears to a cat skin or even a tail?
@MRBBATES1 ah OK. IN order for me to change those files I have to turn them into json files first which takes a while on my device so I just haven't looked at it yet. Thank you
I imported everything just fine, but now that i wanted to add a skin to the pack, it says its a duplicate and i dont know how to delete the file. Been scowering the internet but cant find how lol
Yes, this will be because the amended version has the same UUID as the first one. If you go to your Mojang.com folder there is a sub folder called skins. Just delete your pack from there and then reinstall it and it should work :)
If you are getting an infinite loading after adding your skip pack, please take note: Go to this bug report bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-152216 and there is a resource pack that fixes the equip button as a temp solution until Mojang fix it.
Hey I don't know if you will respond to this but I'm having a different bug then the one I keep seeing online. The one I'm having is where the skinpack itself is stuck in loading forever. If you or anyone can help me I would be 100% greatful
I keep trying to import my skin pack into minecraft, but it keeps saying it's not a valid zip folder even though I followed your video to a "T". I've tried almost everything I can think of, but still not working.
Minecraft said that the import was fine but it won't stop loading; I have saw replys where you said you can't diagnose the problem just from a comment so I have uploaded a video showing all the code and skins to see if you might be able to spot anything wrong. Thanks in advance, and sorry this was a long comment
In the skins.json file change the geometry on the entry that you want to use the alex model to geometry.humanoid.customSlim, so as an example it would be "geometry": "geometry.humanoid.customSlim",
this will be because the location on where you are editing the files requires admin access. what ever programme you are using to edit the files, run this in administrator mode and it should allow you to save the code. If that fails then you may need to add yourself to the folders security
Hello! I have a question. Everything else seems to work but when I try to convert anything by changing the file name to .lang or .mcpack, the file tupe doesn’t change, only the name. Do you know how I could fix this? Thanks, and great tutorial!
Thank you for your kind comments, open file explorer and click on view and there should be a check box called 'File Name Extension' make sure this is ticked. once ticked you should be able to rename as shown in the video.
@@MRBBATES1 hey for some reason I made 2 of my own packs but if I change the example. inside the game the name glitches and shows one with the exact same name how do I fix it?
I have not tested if it works on servers, so if you find out let me know :) technically you can add any skin as long as it’s mapped right, so if there’s different layers etc it should still work but I have not tested this.
At 10:37 I clicked on it and it didn't say anything with archives so I'm not sure what to do there Edit, not an issue anymore but when I import the pack it fails and its saying unknown pack name and unknown description? If you have any idea what's wrong I would really appreciate the help
The only time i have seen this error is if either the UUID is not correct or the formatting of the manifest is wrong or you have format version as 1. i would suggest checking that format version is 2, if it is check that the json is correct. You can use this site to check it: jsonformatter.org/ It will advise if the code is wrong. if thats says its right then try changing the UUID.
Do you know how to add the byline to the skin. What I'm getting at is that at 11:33 there's text that says "by," but nothing is followed up by it. I tried to do "skin.PackName.Skin.by" and put text after the =, but it didn't work. Do you know how I can add text after the "by"?
i did it and it says succesfully imported but it will just endlessly load and not show an option to choose the skins doses anyone know what the problem is
this usually means that its having trouble finding the skin, have you placed them inside a folder or in the root on the skin pack? if its inside a folder don't forget to include this in your skin.json file
is there a way for me to make the pack know what type of body type each skin was? for example, some of the skins i'm putting in are slim, but they appear like the default body type when they're in the game.
Yes, in the skins.json file, change the line "geometry": "geometry.humanoid.custom" to "geometry": "geometry.humanoid.customSlim" for what ever skin needs to use the slim model.
i have the mcpack and everything checks out on windows, but how would i use the pack on an android device? i've tried opening the mcpack file using minecraft but there just isn't any option
Quick question, what is the geometry? I can only assume it's the information about how the skins are formatted into the game, but where are all of them stored? (Im asking since I want to try for hats and alike in my skin pack) Also does the skin pack still work properly in the newest version?
geometry is as you expected, its default location in the sample files is: resource_pack/models/mobs.json this holds the geo for a number of player based things, if you import it into blockbench you can choose which ones you want to import and it will render it for you. as far as i know it should still work, all though i have seen mixed comments on it, so not sure entirely but i cant see anything that changed that would make it not work, i find its usually due to errors in their coding. Also mojang themselves have added restrictions as marketplace items use things like hats etc. so some things may not work due to that.
@@MRBBATES1 Is it still possible to do this? I'm trying to recreate the old 2016 festive mashup pack Krampus design. I have a geo file full of all the right things that I got from a different video; all the appendages attached to the correct limbs. It functions perfectly in blockbench. I edited my json files to match yours and put my geo file in the folder too. I've been able to important all of that into minecraft but the place to pick the skin loads infinitely. I very much appreciate this tutorial, it has gotten me so close to the finish line. Is there any way to solve my issue?
I was able to get the skin to load. I had an errant comma on the skins.json that was preventing it from loading! The problem is it's using the png file and the geometry file. Is there any way to get Minecraft to use my custom geometry file for my skin?
Hi there!! loved the video but I got a few questions since well, they were never answered in the video! will everyone be able to view the skins we put into the pack? like on servers and am i able to delete the .mcpack file or would that break it?
hey there, so I opened the JSON file into Microsoft word and accidentally set the file to always open in microsoft word. How do I fix this, and what should I open the file in?
This means the zip file you created is not right. Things to check is to make sure it is created as a .zip and when creating the zip make sure you highlight all the files rather than doing it on the folder, this will create a sub folder which skin packs can’t have.
hey! im having some problems lol. i tried everything u did in the video but when i try importing it it says "not a valid zip archive". and for some reason when i enter the file again it resets everything ive done back to the original. any help? thanks.
hi, i have an issue importing my pack into minecraft. i double clicked my skins.mcpack and it opens minecraft. I get a error message that says "failed to import, unknown pack name. see output log for details." what's meant by unknown pack name? edit: it also says "unable to find manifest"
There should be a link in the description that points to the sample pack on GitHub. It sounds like you don’t have a manifest in your file. The sample pack will show you what you need you just need to update the details like name of pack etc
Can You Please Help, I went and did all the steps but when I tried importing the pack it said error check log for more details and then said "Unknown Pack Name" "Unknown Pack Description" "Unknown Pack ID"
Sounds like the manifest might not be setup right Or you have zipped up the folder and not the files directly hard to say as both would produce the same error.
The link is in the description, it’s referred to as the zip file. The editor I used in the video is a free win 10 app called codewriter but you can use any editor like vs code or bridge or even notepad if you wanted :)
When zipping up the files make sure you zip the files and not the folder where the files are in, if that doesn’t work make sure you didn’t make it as a .rar or .7z first it must be .zip
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. I made the skin pack step by step but I just couldn't equip the skin, I clicked on other skins and there is an equip button but then I click back on my skin pack, it just says loading but it won't load. I don't know what I did wrong, or is it Minecraft's problem?
This is a minecraft problem, since the last update a number of people have said the same thing for other skin packs. Sounds like you did it right if your getting this. Best advise is to report the bug on the bug tracker and wait for it to be fixed.
Update :) Go to this bug report bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-152216 and there is a resource pack that fixes the equip button as a temp solution until Mojang fix it properly.
can you get bedrock on MAC? if so i would assume its the same, the JSON language is very universal, the only differences maybe the applications required to edit it.
in the description, there isnt any link to the template, there is only a link to the one that was made in the video. can i please get the link if anyone has it?
@@elixi. I have updated the GitHub page with the template. github.com/MRBBATES1/CustomSkinPack the file is called 'Skin Packs Template.zip' sorry about that :) and thank you for your nice comments :)
If you don't see the file extensions, you need to make them visible. Then zip the file. The ".zip" will appear on the file. Rename "zip" to "mcpack" and it should work
Sounds like you are renaming without changing the file extension. If in windows, open file explorer and go to the folder with the pack in. Click on view and then tick the box ‘file name extensions’. You should now see the .zip on the end. If you rename the file name and replace .zip with .mcpack it should work
I have noticed this too, I spoke to a number of people in the tech community and they all seem to have the same issue so I think it’s a bug in the game. Hopefully Mojang will sort it!!
Update :) Go to this bug report bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-152216 and there is a resource pack that fixes the equip button as a temp solution until Mojang fix it.
Is something up with github or am I am idiot becuse I can't download it EDIT : yeah I was just being a idiot I got it tho EDIT 2 : I can't change file type to MCPACK on windows 11 EDIT 3 : just needed to change some setting in file explorer got it
Thank you soo much, I've been looking for tutorials everywhere and none is like this. Btw can you make a cape version? Edit: it just keeps loading for mobile
The loading issue is a bug on MC at the moment, it started in the last release so hopefully they get this fixed :) i will look to see for capes, but they are not so straight forward to change :)
Update :) Go to this bug report bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-152216 and there is a resource pack that fixes the equip button as a temp solution until Mojang fix it.
Very true, there are a few 3rd party applications available online to ease this process, but as a manual way it would be time consuming for large quantities
If you become a registered marketplace seller then yes, you change the word free to paid and then follow the instructions for marketplace it should work fine :)
the original bug is marked as resolved on mojangs side, i have not seen it myself, I'm not sure what could be causing it. if your sure the pack is created correctly i would recommend submitting a bug report.
great tutorial im jsut having trouble opening the file in the first place but im sure the rest is great, not kidding im sure the rest is great but how do you open the file edit: ok never mind got it opened sorry for acting rude
guys all my skin are slim and when i put the pack it turns.... the opposite of slim. how do i fix ???? Edit: a guy had the same comment as me and mrbates answered :)
@@zStqrio it works for me, make sure you enable it in global resources and that its at the top of the list. You should then be able to equip it. however the issue should be fixed in version 1.18.30 (it is fixed for me), so you shouldn't need the pack anyways, make sure your Minecraft is up to date as a new update just released
@@MRBBATES1 ik that mojang fixed the infinite loading but when i import a skin pack it says dupe and the original keeps loading, i even deleted it from files but didnt work (bedrock)
This is still the correct method so it’s likely you missed something or missed place something, check a json validator online to make sure it’s right. Please note you can’t use your own geo. So if you have this you can’t use it.
It’s hard to diagnose via comments section, if you join the discord and share you pack I will take a look when I have finished work to see if I can find anything that’s causing the issue.
its either been zipped up wrong or the folder structure is not right, make sure your files are not in multiple sub folders. highlight your files and click zip instead of highlighting the master folder and then change the extension to .mcpack if on desktop or android and it should just import into Minecraft
I have not tried for pocked edition so I can’t say for sure, I know people on android have said in the past they got it working for them, so I think it’s possible.
Sounds like you are renaming without changing the file extension. If in windows, open file explorer and go to the folder with the pack in. Click on view and then tick the box ‘file name extensions’. You should now see the real one on the end. If you rename the file name and replace .zip or .Rae or whatever it is with .mcpack it should work

If I have done that and have a skin pack can I also play this skin on the PS4/5?
have u found out yet? if not, i will try to find out for us soon
hey! im having some problems lol. i tried everything u did in the video but when i try importing it it says "not a valid zip archive". and for some reason when i enter the file again it resets everything ive done back to the original. any help? thanks.
did you rename it to a .mcpack? if you didnt see .zip before you renamed it you probably didn't actually change the file type and just the name.
thank you KING
hi, i have an issue importing my pack into minecraft. i double clicked my skins.mcpack and it opens minecraft. I get a error message that says "failed to import, unknown pack name. see output log for details." what's meant by unknown pack name?
edit: it also says "unable to find manifest"
There should be a link in the description that points to the sample pack on GitHub. It sounds like you don’t have a manifest in your file. The sample pack will show you what you need you just need to update the details like name of pack etc
@@MRBBATES1 ok, thanks for the reply!
@@MRBBATES1 i clicked in the link and downloaded the sample pack, and i saw i renamed the manifest.json to manifest.json.txt, thanks
Ah no worries, glad you sorted it!! :)
Отличный гайд! Даже без хорошего знания английского я всё понял. Не все так могут понятно объяснить.👍😁
большое спасибо
Can You Please Help, I went and did all the steps but when I tried importing the pack it said error check log for more details and then said "Unknown Pack Name" "Unknown Pack Description" "Unknown Pack ID"
I Am On The Latest Version Of Minecraft Bedrock For Windows
Sounds like the manifest might not be setup right Or you have zipped up the folder and not the files directly hard to say as both would produce the same error.
Hi! I have a question. Can other players see the skin if they have the "Only Allow Trusted Skins" button on?
That is a good question, I have not tried it, will give it a try when I can and see if that’s the case
@@MRBBATES1 all good 👍
Does this work from windows 10 and useable on ps4 and ps5?
where is the download for the skin pack template thing?
Edit: and what coding app thing do you use
The link is in the description, it’s referred to as the zip file. The editor I used in the video is a free win 10 app called codewriter but you can use any editor like vs code or bridge or even notepad if you wanted :)
@@MRBBATES1 thank you
What code writer software are you using
Also link to the download if you still know it
For showcasing i tend to use Codewriter: www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9WZDNCRFHZDT its free, its a low end editor but is good :)
I am having some problems, it says my pack is not a valid ZIP archive. How do I fix it?
When zipping up the files make sure you zip the files and not the folder where the files are in, if that doesn’t work make sure you didn’t make it as a .rar or .7z first it must be .zip
how did you get to the skin packs folder
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. I made the skin pack step by step but I just couldn't equip the skin, I clicked on other skins and there is an equip button but then I click back on my skin pack, it just says loading but it won't load. I don't know what I did wrong, or is it Minecraft's problem?
This is a minecraft problem, since the last update a number of people have said the same thing for other skin packs. Sounds like you did it right if your getting this. Best advise is to report the bug on the bug tracker and wait for it to be fixed.
@@MRBBATES1 thanks
Update :) Go to this bug report bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-152216 and there is a resource pack that fixes the equip button as a temp solution until Mojang fix it properly.
@@MRBBATES1 tysm
mine doesnt show up as an mcpack when i do it as i have winzip how can i do it
Delete the word Zip after the dot and change it to mcpack
Only if it works on minecraft bedrock on mac
can you get bedrock on MAC? if so i would assume its the same, the JSON language is very universal, the only differences maybe the applications required to edit it.
@@MRBBATES1 yeAH you can
in the description, there isnt any link to the template, there is only a link to the one that was made in the video. can i please get the link if anyone has it?
Apologies I forgot to add the link after renovations on the description I will dig it out and update it shortly
@@MRBBATES1 Its alright, and thank you! great tutorial btw ive been looking how to make one for a while :]
@@elixi. I have updated the GitHub page with the template. github.com/MRBBATES1/CustomSkinPack the file is called 'Skin Packs Template.zip' sorry about that :) and thank you for your nice comments :)
@@MRBBATES1 thanks and no problem ^^
When I rename the file on my desktop to have .mcpack it doesn't change? Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
you need the change the file extentsion, not just put a .mcpack after naming it
If you don't see the file extensions, you need to make them visible. Then zip the file. The ".zip" will appear on the file. Rename "zip" to "mcpack" and it should work
renaming the file doesnt work it just adds .mcpack at the end
Sounds like you are renaming without changing the file extension. If in windows, open file explorer and go to the folder with the pack in. Click on view and then tick the box ‘file name extensions’. You should now see the .zip on the end. If you rename the file name and replace .zip with .mcpack it should work
@@MRBBATES1 thank you so much!
Your very welcome :) thanks for watching
Is there any way to get this to work on console?
having an issue for 1.18, its just stuck loading, i did it step by step and its just loading
I have noticed this too, I spoke to a number of people in the tech community and they all seem to have the same issue so I think it’s a bug in the game. Hopefully Mojang will sort it!!
Update :) Go to this bug report bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-152216 and there is a resource pack that fixes the equip button as a temp solution until Mojang fix it.
Is something up with github or am I am idiot becuse I can't download it
EDIT : yeah I was just being a idiot I got it tho
EDIT 2 : I can't change file type to MCPACK on windows 11
EDIT 3 : just needed to change some setting in file explorer got it
Im guessing this tutorial is only available for Pc and not consoles. trying to figure out how to do this stuff for xbox.
I’m afraid so, it used to be possible on console but not any more :(
@@MRBBATES1 PC master race am I right? 😂
PC for the win!! 🤪
the skin pack wont load in 1.19
Thank you soo much, I've been looking for tutorials everywhere and none is like this. Btw can you make a cape version?
Edit: it just keeps loading for mobile
The loading issue is a bug on MC at the moment, it started in the last release so hopefully they get this fixed :) i will look to see for capes, but they are not so straight forward to change :)
Update :) Go to this bug report bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-152216 and there is a resource pack that fixes the equip button as a temp solution until Mojang fix it.
very easy but time taking if you want alot of skins
Very true, there are a few 3rd party applications available online to ease this process, but as a manual way it would be time consuming for large quantities
If I create a skin pack could I use it for the market place? (Sorry if that sounds dumb). 😎🎈
If you become a registered marketplace seller then yes, you change the word free to paid and then follow the instructions for marketplace it should work fine :)
@@MRBBATES1 thank you :) 🙏🏼
How can I make a skin slim?
Is there a fix to the not loading bug because People are saying its fixed but its not
the original bug is marked as resolved on mojangs side, i have not seen it myself, I'm not sure what could be causing it. if your sure the pack is created correctly i would recommend submitting a bug report.
The only thing that was missing was the Icons in the folder for Skin.json and Manifest.json
Do you have a discord I can send a Image of what it actually is showing
Since it may be different to what you think
Yeah, discord is discord.gg/CW3QCtfQZb I will pop on and take a look when I can :)
can u make this work with capes?
As far as I know Mojang removed the ability to add custom geo including capes so not something you can do now.
@@MRBBATES1 i have capes in-game that everyone can see with the bionicben tutoria
Ah I will take a look then thank you :)
@@MRBBATES1 ya
great tutorial im jsut having trouble opening the file in the first place but im sure the rest is great, not kidding im sure the rest is great but how do you open the file edit: ok never mind got it opened sorry for acting rude
no worries dude thank you for coming back and editing your message. glad you got it sorted :)
i did all the steps and it doesn't work! is it because I edited the skin.json in notepad?
That should be fine, if it’s not working try putting your code through a json validator, this tends to me the main cause of issues.
its not changing into a .mcpack file thing EDIT: i fixed it but how do i make them slim
In the skins.json file change the geo to customSlim and this should use the slim model instead
guys all my skin are slim and when i put the pack it turns.... the opposite of slim. how do i fix ????
Edit: a guy had the same comment as me and mrbates answered :)
in the skins.json file for the geometry element have you used 'geometry.humanoid.customSlim', if this is set it should use the slim model.
Works On 11 AND 7 Too
Why not you tell us how to build your own skin in Minecraft no addtion
thank you it work
Glad it here it’s worked for you :) thanks for leaving a comment
whats the fix for the infinite loading for rn?
Look at pinned message there is a link to the bug tracker, on there is a pack attached to it, this should fix the issue.
@@MRBBATES1 but i already use the pack it doesn't work
@@zStqrio it works for me, make sure you enable it in global resources and that its at the top of the list. You should then be able to equip it. however the issue should be fixed in version 1.18.30 (it is fixed for me), so you shouldn't need the pack anyways, make sure your Minecraft is up to date as a new update just released
@@MRBBATES1 ima try it ty
@@MRBBATES1 ik that mojang fixed the infinite loading but when i import a skin pack it says dupe and the original keeps loading, i even deleted it from files but didnt work (bedrock)
it doesnt work when i upload it tho it says theres no errors
This is still the correct method so it’s likely you missed something or missed place something, check a json validator online to make sure it’s right. Please note you can’t use your own geo. So if you have this you can’t use it.
@@MRBBATES1 what do you mean by geo?
@@MRBBATES1 also the jsons are valid but it always says failed to upload
It’s hard to diagnose via comments section, if you join the discord and share you pack I will take a look when I have finished work to see if I can find anything that’s causing the issue.
@@MRBBATES1 I was looking for a discord and never found it but also I got it to work
I imported it, failed and said "not a valid zip archive"
its either been zipped up wrong or the folder structure is not right, make sure your files are not in multiple sub folders. highlight your files and click zip instead of highlighting the master folder and then change the extension to .mcpack if on desktop or android and it should just import into Minecraft
@@MRBBATES1 I just put the folder in "mcskins" manually
I have to play on mobile (Minecraft pocket edition) because I'm poor
Anyway, does this work on mcpe cause it doesn't seem to be working for me :(
I have not tried for pocked edition so I can’t say for sure, I know people on android have said in the past they got it working for them, so I think it’s possible.
sooo mine didnt turn into a .mcpack what did i do wrong?
Sounds like you are renaming without changing the file extension. If in windows, open file explorer and go to the folder with the pack in. Click on view and then tick the box ‘file name extensions’. You should now see the real one on the end. If you rename the file name and replace .zip or .Rae or whatever it is with .mcpack it should work
@@MRBBATES1 thanks boss
Would this still work for windows 11?
Yes, windows version should t affect it :)
thank❤
My skin is invisible, can you help me fix that?
Make sure you have specified the correct path in skins.json this is the usual reason for invisible skins
the renaming to .mcpack doesnt work
If your on windows make sure you have the show extensions option ticket in explorer so when it’s renamed the original .zip is removed
Quick question, does notepad work for this or no?
EDIT: NVM, IT DID!
It does yeah! You can use any text editor :)
@@MRBBATES1 :D I am honestly happy! Thanks!
How do I download this?
Is that iskal85?!
Is geometry.cosmetic not supported? It keeps breaking my skins geometry and forcing it to use the default geometry.humanoid.custom
Nvm mojang removed the functionality due to abuse /: although i found a method on pc to bypass this using IObit which is cool ig
Didnt work
I DONT GOT A DESKTOP
That does make it a little difficult but as long as you have a text editor and access to the Minecraft files then you can do it on any device
You sound like mumbo jumbo
Thank you :) We live in the same country, just a couple of hours away actually :)
I did it on mobile
Nice one that’s cool!!! Glad to know it works on mobile too :)
NO WAY
