1. Remove any existing skins mod.

2. Install the "player_textures" mod:

https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=3587

Note: The mod's folder should be named "player_textures". Rename the folder if necessary.

3. Obtain some 64x32 Minecraft-format skin PNG files. 64x64 files won't work unless you use GIMP or Photoshop to delete the bottom half and produce 64x32 files.

Give each PNG file a name of the form "player_john.png" where "john" should be replaced with a player's nickname. It's case-sensitive, so get the case right.

Put the PNG files in the "textures" folder inside the "player_textures" folder.

4. Restart. Fiat Pelles. Let there be skins.

To get you, or anybody else who is interested, started, here is a small collection of 64x32 skins:

These skins should work with the "player_textures" mod discussed previously.
