How To Get Minecraft Xbox Skin Pack 1 For Free
I would like there to be a way where console players could be able to create their own skins. I know skin packs are created for money, but really, I'm tired of it.
I mean sure skin packs are fun and all, but I would like to put some of my creativity into my own skin. Isn't that what Minecraft is about? And I know there can be problems with this, but I would hopefully like to see a way for custom skins to be made in the future. I'm just wanting to know, if there will ever be a way for console players to create there own custom skins like they do on PC and other related platforms? I love this idea, but there's one huge roadblock standing in the way. If Mojang allows custom skins, then they will start losing money (because why would you buy a skin pack if you can just re-create on of theirs or design your own skin?) which means Microsoft wont allow it.
Im not going to go into the in's and out's of it all, but in simple terms, Microsoft doesnt care too much about what Mojang does so long as it doesnt hurt Microsofts rep and brings in a net profit. Basically, in order for custom skins to be implemented, they would have to cost quite a bit. Most likely, they would only be available if you bought a PS Plus or Xbox Live membership and even then they would cost a pretty penny. Total agreement with you LiamMorris.But there is also another even more important aspect to consider:There is a huge difference between an 'open' environment (PC), and a 'closed' one (console).Limiting the choices to predefined skins, of which Microsoft own all the rights, means automatically avoidingbig groups of potential problems that could come from suing/litigation:- Offensive skins (nude skins for example). Average player age is much lower on console than on PC so that counts.- Other types of 'offsensive' skins that could cause arguments, or that parents would prefer not having to explain away.(Klu Klux Klan, Hitler, religious icons, etc.)- Characters trademarked by other companies.

Gee whiz, Mario Bro skin on a Microsoft console. Wham, royalties!So limiting skins is basically more 'secure' against all kinds of potential lawsuits.
Expecting for this to ever change is a bit of an irrational pink-cloud-lined wish, nothing more. @Ouatcher, That is something i didn't even consider and adds more weight to the scales against custom skins being added. Although, i suppose that this could easily be avoided by adding an option to display custom skins (which would be set to 'off' by default) and including a disclaimer. Yes, although this doesnt get rid of the problem entirely (it just merely hides it and disassociates Microsoft and Mojang from any blame) it does make the idea more viable. If this was coupled with a reporting system for inappropriate skins - where, if you were reported enough times within a certain time frame, you would be unable to use custom skins for a certain length of time - then the sugestion for custom skins becomes even more viable. (Although, this is somewhat undermimed by the amount of effort that would be needed just to get custom skins.).
It was all set to be just another gruelling day in the Mojang office: I arrived at work around lunchtime, left for lunch, came back to my desk, went off to find a pillow, and then returned to take a nap until it was time to go home. Boy, do I need a holiday.But just as I was about to get some well-deserved sleep, I noticed a mysterious scroll upon my desk. I opened the scroll, read the words upon it, and immediately wished I hadn’t:What lurks beyond your vision,In the darkness beneath the bed?The spooky wardrobe is whispering'I think you'll lose your head.'
Clothe yourself with horror,Join the beasts and scare;From the Shadows could mean you,But only if you dare.Whimpering with fear, I took a petrified peek at the From the Shadows skin pack. This was several weeks ago, and I haven’t stopped screaming since. Be warned, these dark and detailed skins are certainly not for the faint of heart. Why did they have to be in horrifying HD? Control edition engineering international systems. What better way to celebrate Halloween than with a skin pack so terrifying that I’m not sure I ever want to play Minecraft again?If you’re made of braver stuff than me (trust me, you definitely are – I’m made of equal parts jelly, fear, and cowardice), then you can find the From the Shadows skin pack in the Minecraft Marketplace on Xbox One, Windows 10 Edition, Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android, mobile and VR devices.
These skins are also available in Tom’s nightmares but for a limited time only (hopefully).This skin pack will be creeping into all these editions of Minecraft throughout the day.
