The 100 best Minecraft skins 2024

What are the best Minecraft skins? There are countless Minecraft skins available online now, as imaginative creators have spent years building an extensive library of avatar customizations for the sandbox game. With OCs, Disney characters, superheroes, celebrities, cartoon characters, and even memes now available for your Minecraft skin the choice can be overwhelming, but we’ve gone through them all to find the best.

If you’d rather rock something a bit more unique than the defaults, we recommend one of the custom Minecraft skins below. You can even build from one of these options or create your own from scratch with our instructions at the bottom. If that’s a little too much effort, find out how to change your Minecraft skin, then pick from these free NameMC Minecraft skins. We’re always adding to this list, too, so be sure to keep checking back for a fresh look!

Custom Minecraft skins editor

If you’re looking for something more unique, you can make your Minecraft skin from scratch. One of the best places to do this is The Skindex. Start from scratch in the Minecraft skin editor, or upload and edit an existing skin and edit it to suit your needs. There are two layers to edit, so you can even use the skin editor to make 3D effects like on some of the skins above.

Free Minecraft skins

If you’re looking for free Minecraft skins, we’ve got some excellent news: all the skins below are 100% free. In fact, Minecraft skins are almost always free to download, so as long as you stick to a reputable website to obtain them, you should never be charged – unless it’s in the official Minecraft Marketplace. In other words, you’re free to try every Minecraft skin on this list!

Funny Minecraft skins

Banana suit

There aren’t many things we love more than seeing someone in a banana suit out in the wild (honestly, it’s happened a few times). What better, then, than cheering up your mates on you favorite multiplayer server with this cool and funny banana suit Minecraft skin. Those sunglasses really top it off.

Steve and penguin

Aw! Equal parts funny and cute, we just had to include this wide-eyed Steve and his wide-eyed penguin friend. There are more Minecraft-themed skins further down the list, but this Steve and penguin skin deserves its place here if you’re looking for something a little more fun to show off, especially when you’re exploring those snowy and icy Minecraft biomes.

Clown skin

Clown are funny, right? Right? Okay, they’re also terrifying, but this one is kinda cute. Eh, who knows, perhaps it’ll scare mobs away from your base. Speaking of bases, you could even design your entire Minecraft world around this Minecraft clown skin and build a circus or funfair.

Patrick Star skin

So, you’re the class clown craving laughs more than cute heart eyes? Then there are plenty of funny Minecraft skins for you too. Thanks to his slips-up and silly behavior, Patrick Star is already a pretty funny guy – hey, we can all relate, right? But what about a buff Patrick Minecraft skin?

Spongebob skin

If you’re hanging out with a friend in Bikini Bottom or The Nether, you could be Patrick while the other dresses up as bestie Spongebob. This is an excellent Spongebob skin to match the buff Patrick skin above.

 

Noob skin

There’s only one requirement for a good Minecraft noob skin: the character must look pretty darn clueless. The Minecraft player responsible for this noobed-down version of the Steve skin nailed the assignment, as we can’t imagine noob Steve heroically fighting off a creeper. Heck, we don’t think he’d even run away. In other words, perfect!

Girl Minecraft skins

If you aren’t sure what you want, but are just after a typical boy or girl skin, there are quite literally thousands upon thousands of Minecraft skins to choose from. Here’s just a few, and hopefully there’s one to resemble you and your style.

Cat girl skin

Cats are one thing that unite the world, right? Love ’em or hate ’em, the internet is full of cute, funny, and foolish cats ready to improve your mood. While there are plenty of cat Minecraft skins, we like this more subtle take on our favorite animal. This cute, kawaii girl skin features two-tone pink and black hair, complimented by adorable kitty headphones/ear muffs.

Sunflower girl skin

For a floral, fairy, bohemian style, we’ve got this beautiful sunflower girl skin. Not only is this tanned beauty wearing a sunflower on her shirt, but the sunflower crown around her head is what really makes this skin pop. We can totally see ourselves lying in a Minecraft sunflower plains in this fit.

Gothic blindfolded girl

If you’re into something a little darker, and black is your favorite color, then this blindfolded girl skin from JingledBell is pretty cool. In fact, we’re so inspired by this gothic outfit that, if it weren’t for the fact that we’d fall over trying to get up the steps outside, we’d probably try and rock something similar irl.

Boy Minecraft skins

All about the accessories

If you’re style is all about accessorizing, then this Minecraft skin is for you. This Minecraft boy wears a matching backwards cap, backpack, and cute sneakers – and even the lace on his hoodie is coordinated with his accessories. We love the attention to detail by Dazzles_, and the way this hoodie somehow looks super comfy.

Gothic boy skin

We’ve got a gothic girl, so we figured we should probably find her counterpart – and here he is. To be honest, this dark-clothed Minecraft skin could easily be adopted by a boy, girl, or gender neutral player, and that low slung belt, ironic cross top, and emo fringe are perfect for anyone who regularly finds themselves in Hot Topic. We’re also assuming that’s not pale skin but classic emo t-shirt layering.

Stylish boy skin

We’re not sure we’ve ever seen a Minecraft skin as well dressed as this fashionable boy Minecraft skin. Dressed in a very coordinated brown outfit, perfectly matching the tone of his hair, this Minecraft skin looks comfy and cool in plaid slacks, clean white shoes, and a high-neck jumper.

Kawaii Minecraft skins

Cat boy

There is a cat girl version of this cat boy Minecraft skin as well, as maker Hivewind makes two version of most of their skins, including a school uniform and a french maid outfit. For our list though, we couldn’t resist this cute black cat outfit, complete with white socks and a red collar.

Blue hair

If the pink bows, bunny socks, and baby blue hair aren’t enough to win you over to this kawaii Minecraft skin, then surely that cute expression will. Faces can often look the same in Minecraft skins, there’s only so much you can do with an 8×8 pixel square, but somehow creator Nyaiko perfectly nails the kawaii look with these closed eyes and blushing cheeks.

Hello Kitty

OK, we’ll admit, there’s some similarity between “kawaii Minecraft skins” and “cute Minecraft skins”, but we’ve got ’em all. While My Melody might be above in the ‘cute’ section, the queen of kawaii herself, Hello Kitty, couldn’t be left out, so here she is, in this detailed Hello Kitty onesie Minecraft skin. We’ve not made it clear in the image, but Hello Kitty’s face is absolutely perfect, sitting atop your head, as cute pink bows adorn your sleeves.

Cool Minecraft skins

Demon skin

Demons come in many shapes and colors, but this one looks especially nice in his elaborate gold-trimmed coat. We also appreciate the bright red matching mask and demonic horns. A very sophisticated Minecraft demon skin, for sure!

3D skin

Technically, every Minecraft skin is a 3D skin, but we’re looking for a less blocky one. If extra depth is what you’re after, and you don’t mind giving up your face, this optical illusion skin is the perfect choice. M.C. Escher would be jealous.

Hacker skin

Everyone knows how the average hacker dresses, right? All-black clothing, a hoodie, and an anonymous mask as standard accessories. This hacker skin accurately reflects that iconic look, making your Minecraft friends believe you’re Mr. Robot.

Knight skin

There are Minecraft skins for demon knights, fantasy knights, and even zombie knights, but this one is the best option if you want to look like a proper medieval knight. It has the full armor set, including a helmet, yet still looks like a human being. The red surcoat, complete with insignia, is a nice touch on this Minecraft Knight skin.

 

Ghost skin

This Minecraft ghost skin is among the most convincing, thanks to the shadowy purple-grey color. The little crown gives it a perfectly eerie “I’ve been haunting this place for centuries” vibe. We’d say it’s the perfect look for some underground cavern expeditions. Creepers won’t try to kill you if you’re already dead, right?

Hoodie skin

Why be satisfied with a plain hoodie if you can wear this animal-eating-your-head hoodie? Thanks to the creativity, gorgeous blue color, and details (including a drawstring), this is our top choice of Minecraft hoodie skin. The ripped jeans and matching sneakers are a lovely bonus.

Invisible skin

You may have seen videos of Minecraft players wearing ‘invisible skins’, literally turning them invisible. This is either the result of a trick or glitch, as there’s no such thing as a working invisibility cloak in Minecraft, certainly not without the use of Minecraft potions, anyway. That said, we’ve got this creative ‘there was an attempt’ invisible skin to share with you instead. You’ll be invisible… but not quite.

Ninja skin

The best ninjas don’t walk around in flashy outfits. To increase your level of sneakiness, try wearing this Minecraft ninja skin. Like a real ninja, you’ll be rocking a dark and mysterious suit, leaving but a small opening for your eyes and (a nice detail) your fingers.

Cape skin

We’ve got some sad news for you: there aren’t any cape skins available to mimic the 3D effect of actual Minecraft capes, which are, instead, a very rare commemorative item or a mod. The easiest cape to obtain is the Migrator Cape, for which you’ll have to migrate a Mojang account to a Windows account. To match this red, kingly garment, we recommend using this royal ensemble; the Minecraft migrator cape skin.

Cute Minecraft skins

Polar bear onesie skin

Let’s face it, aside from Minecraft phantoms and Wardens, the sandbox game is pretty cute at its core. Add some nice Minecraft shaders and texture packs, and you can build adorable houses too. To live in a cute house, you’ll want to look cute too, and thankfully there are plenty of sweet skins at your fingertips. We love any that involve cozy onesies, animals, and pastels, so this polar bear onesie Minecraft girl skin is our top pick. After all, you need to stay cozy when surrounded by ice.

Onesie skin

Onesies are great, especially in animal form, so we’re sticking with the theme for one more. This red panda onesie is adorable and (probably) comfy, too, making it the perfect outfit to wear inside your Minecraft house. It may not scare off the zombies… But perhaps it’ll provide some camouflage for the mesa biome.

My Melody skin

Sticking with the theme of cute avatars, there’s very little distance to travel before you reach the world of Sanrio. While there are plenty of Hello Kitty skins, Kuromi skins, and more, we just love this My Melody skin, which sees the Sanrio character dressed for winter.

Cute Minecraft girl skin

Who doesn’t love a cute emo girl, right? There are so many girl goth Minecraft skins available as it’s a pretty popular aesthetic, almost as much as kawaii skins, but we’ve picked out these two cuties from NameMC, Emo Girl and Amlra: how can you not love their long bangs and sleepy eyes.

Emo skin

To match the one above, here’s a Minecraft emo skin that nails that angsty 2007 look. The character is pale, the clothes and hair are dark, and the small cutesy detail on one of the boots is enough to set it apart from the equally large collection of goth Minecraft skins.

Disney skins

Scrooge McDuck skin

If you need more riches in your Minecraft world – perhaps you are a little short on diamonds and Netherite – then what better way to manifest your fortune than by roaming around the overworld in a Scrooge McDuck skin. Or, perhaps you feel like he wouldn’t be seen dead in a world not lined with gold and emerald blocks, in which case, you’d better get to work.

Stitch onesie skin

If you’d rather be a yourself but with a Disney edge, then you could always don a Disney-themed onesie instead of going full character cosplay. As it happens, I’m writing this in my very own Disney onesie right now. It’s as snuggly as this blue Stitch onesie skin, which you can wear as is, or edit to look a bit more like yourself if you’ve got the custom Minecraft skin skills.

Princess Vanellope skin

OK, so there might not be cars or go-karts in vanilla Minecraft, but that doesn’t mean we can’t bring our favorite kart racer (sorry Luigi) to the overworld – especially since the addition of cute Minecraft cherry blossom trees perfectly match her sugary sweet aesthetic. So, if you need a Sugar Rush (geddit?), race to get yourself this Princess Vanellope Minecraft skin.

Goofy Minecraft skin

Both fitting the description of goofy the descriptor and Goofy the beloved Disney character, this Goofy Minecraft skin is the perfect balance of cute and funny. Goofy’s distinctive floppy green hat can be seen on his head, while his large teeth protrude out of his mouth.

Sully onesie skin

If you’ve ever wanted a cuddle from the most lovable monster around (I know I have), then a Sully onesie is probably as close as you’ll get to being wrapped up in his furry blue arms. If you haven’t got one in real life, then you might want to settle for this Sully onesie skin – but remember, making those Creepers laugh won’t stop them from blowing you up.

TV and movie skins

Finn Adventure Time

Who doesn’t love Adventure Time? The children’s show appeals to young and old alike, and there are plenty of Adventure Time Minecraft skins to choose from on NameMC, including the likes of Jake and Princess Bubblegum. We particularly like this Finn skin, though – not just because it rhymes, but also because of the cool 3D details.

Homelander skin

The Boys is one of a few TV shows in recent years to have really captivated audiences, only it’s maybe one of the more unique for how it does so. Thanks to its popularity then, and hilariously inappropriate nature, The Boys might just be one of the best places for Minecraft skin inspiration when it comes to showing off on a private or public server, and who better than the face of The Boys, Homelander.

Minion Minecraft skin

Minions never really seem to go away, do they? As much as we might want to, there’s no escaping these yellow creatures, and we can only wonder when the movie franchise might come to an end. That said, they are pretty cute and funny to look at, and are instantly recognizable, which is a crucial factor to the best Minecraft skins. That said, here’s our favorite Minion skin if that’s what you’re looking for.

Peter Griffin

As we’ve mentioned above, being recognizable is a key feature to a brilliant Minecraft skin, and there are few more familiar TV characters than the one and only Peter Griffin, so here he is.

Minecraft lore skins

Classic Bedrock Steve

If you weren’t already aware, base-kit Steve actually differs between Bedrock and Java Edition, and has had some changes over the years, too. While you might accept Steve with a goatie as standard, Bedrock edition Steve has a more smooth face, replicating the Classic edition Steve. This Classic Steve skin used in Java edition, then, might not seem like a noticeable difference, but it’s just enough to rep the old school look and confuse your server friends.

 

Herobrine skin

We may be talking about getting away from default Minecraft skins, but that doesn’t mean you might not want some variation of the game’s characters. Herobrine is a well-known myth in Minecraft lore, and while the spooky Steve-alike might not actually appear in-game, you can trick your friends with this Herobrine skin.

Render Steve

This smoothed-out Steve skin is the perfect replica of the Render Steve you see in marketing material. In fact, we’re pretty impressed with just how accurate it looks, actually. Don this skin and take some in-game screenshots to make you feel like you’re the Steve.

Steve skin

As the original default Minecraft skin, this probably isn’t your first time meeting Steve. If you want to rock the famous blue t-shirt, jeans, and goatee, you can enable the standard skin in the game launcher. As for our own Steve skin recommendation… Well, let’s just say we’ve looked for the most unique Steve and came up with this brilliant Minecraft Steve abomination. Just don’t look too closely at his legs.

Minecraft mob skins

Zombie skin

This is by far the best Minecraft skin to prank your friends. While there are plenty of strange zombie skins, wearing a fancy suit or hat spoils the cosplay, so we’d rather go with this 100% accurate zombie skin. All you have to do now is practice those groans.

Enderman skin

Yup, it’s an enderman skin in its purest form: all black with piercing purple eyes. There are more Enderman skins with added details, such as clothing and hats, but we prefer this accurate representation of the dreaded Minecraft mob. Time to sneak up on your Minecraft buddies and stare them deep in the eyes…

Creeper skin

Alternatively, you could try trick those pesky Creepers into not blowing you up with this sharply-dressed Creeper skin. Spoiler alert: it won’t work.

Grass Block skin

OK, so this isn’t technically a Minecraft mob so much as it’s a Minecraft block, but we love it, and also kinda wish it was a mob. This amazingly detailed grass block skin from nikita morozov is so cute, and looks like a parasitic grass block has grabbed on to a player, slowly taking over their body with its muddy form.

Villager skin

Want to blend right in with the Minecraft villagers yet still maintain a unique look? This hilarious and popular villager skin does an excellent job of combining the iconic villager face (including the monobrow) with a slightly more, um, clean fit. It’s about time those villagers learn to expand their color palette beyond brown and green – and maybe tidy up the village while they’re at it.

Animal skins

Cat skin

Sometimes, there’s just nothing better than a cute pet pic. Feeling down? Cute pet pic. Feeling sick? Cute pet pic. Just a normal day? Cute pet pic. We love our animals and would probably like to be one, too. Who wouldn’t want to sit around dozing in the sun all day? But while it might be difficult to take on the form of a trash panda or fluffy kitten in real life, in Minecraft, anything is possible, and this cute pink Minecraft cat skin is perfect for living those fantasies.

Fox skin

This little fox must be one of the cutest Minecraft skins out there. Just look at its tiny face and rosy cheeks! True, it doesn’t look much like a real-life thing, but… Well, it’s Minecraft. This kawaii Minecraft fox skin is definitely among our favorites, and we’ll award bonus points for that excellent tail design.

Duck skin

Yup, this next animal skin is every bit as adorable as the first. While there are many duck skins out there – some wearing suits, others rocking Christmas outfits – we’ve decided to go with a basic design that cannot be mistaken for anything other than a duckling. As a bonus, this cute duck skin should give us some excellent camouflage in the desert biome.

Wolf skin

Minecraft wolf skins are highly versatile: you can be a cute wolf, a scary wolf, an armored wolf, a cool sunglasses-wearing wolf… This popular dark-grey wolf skin holds a nice balance, though; beautifully made, not overly cutesy, and wolf-like enough to scare away the piggies.

Panda skin

If you want to roam around the jungle without being spotted, perhaps so you can get up close and personal with some of those adorable baby pandas, then give this Minecraft panda skin a try. The keen-eyed will notice that’s not an animal, but a pale-skinned, monochromatic person hiding their human appearance very well, and that’s why we like this even more than a simple panda skin.

Anime skins

My Hero Academia skin

Minecraft might be more pixelated than your favorite anime, but you can still get the big eyes and small mouth look from an anime-themed Minecraft skin. There are plenty of generic, anime-style skins, but you might also want to look for characters from your favorite series or manga, and this Deku skin from My Hero Academia has to be among our favorites.

Sailor Moon skin

If something a little more old-school suits you more, then you might prefer this gorgeous Sailor Moon-inspired Minecraft skin. With muted colors, it adds something a little different to the primary palette of the anime, but we think that just makes it look even more retro.

Sailor Moon new look skin

For a slightly more updated version of the Sailor Moon skin, you might prefer this one. We’d recognize the iconic superheroine’s outfit anywhere: a navy-colored shirt and skirt, high red boots, white gloves, and an excessively large bow, but this skin has additional golden details. It’s by far the best skin to save Minecraft from evil.

Naruto skin

Of course, you want to do a Minecraft cosplay of your favorite anime ninja, and we’re here to help you. This Naruto skin perfectly mimics the spiky hair, iconic headband, bright blue eyes, and orange clothing. Naturally, if you wish to be worthy of this impeccable Naruto skin, you must do a perfect Naruto run first (in Minecraft, real life, or both).

Goku skin

Dragon Ball protagonist Goku has a rather distinct hairstyle… It’s hard to replicate it in a Minecraft skin, but this blocky Goku version comes very close. This Goku skin has his iconic spiky dark hair, the traditional orange suit, and a blue belt to hold it all together. If you’d rather wear a Goku Super Saiyan skin instead (a.k.a. Goku but blonde), there are plenty of those, too.

Minecraft YouTuber skins

Aphmau skin

Rather than an official Aphmau skin, there are a few replicas on NameMC, with a variety of different Aphmau-inspired outfits to choose from and her recognizable brown eyes. This particular Aphmau skin is the most like the standard Aphmau look, with her lilac off the shoulder top and shorts.

Quackity skin

What better way to honor your favorite YouTuber than to wear their skin in Minecraft? While that sounds a bit creepy, there are plenty of fun YouTuber skins to try out. This suited-up guy, first worn by Quackity, is a great place to start. Many more Quackity skins are available for download if you click on his profile, most of them rocking the same iconic face.

Spreen skin

If you’re a fan of well-known Minecraft YouTuber Spreen, you’ve got to try one of his skins. Yup, that still sounds creepy. Anyway, of all the skins he’s worn, this dog-cosplaying-as-a-zombie outfit stands out the most. With sunglasses, of course, or it wouldn’t count as a Spreen skin.

Wilbur Soot skin

Another YouTuber known for joining many large Minecraft events is Wilbur Soot. If he’s one of your favorite Minecraft content creators, this Wilbur Soot skin is the perfect way to show your support. It rocks a simple design, it looks like real-life Wilbur, and the man himself first wore it.

Technoblade skin

More than just a skin to show off your allegiance to a particular YouTuber, this iconic crowned-pig skin is a great way to honor the late Technoblade, one of Minecraft’s most legendary content creators. Needless to say, the Technoblade skin is an extremely popular look.

Dream Team Minecraft skin

We all know that the biggest Dream Team fans will always ship Dream and GeorgeNotFound – even more so after George’s move to the USA in 2022 and Dream’s long-awaited face reveal. Well, if that’s you, then you’ll be pleased to hear that someone has gone to the effort of combining their skins into one cute ode to the pair in this half-and-half Dream Team skin.

DC and Marvel skins

Iron Man skin

Now, there’s no denying the hold that superheroes have over popular culture right now, but whether you’re team DC or team Marvel, there are quite literally thousands of ready-made Minecraft skins at your disposal. If you’re team Marvel, become Tony Stark and step into this Iron Man skin.

Batman skin

Are you more of a DC fan? You can now wear the legendary costume of the Dark Knight with this gorgeous Minecraft Batman skin. No need to change back into Bruce Wayne clothing in between missions.

Wonder Woman skin

Let’s not overlook the badass women of the Marvel universe. Diana Prince is and always will be a classic, so if you’ve always wanted your own Bracelets of Submission and Lasso of Truth, then this Wonder Woman skin is perfect for you.

Scarlet Witch skin

Alternatively, you might prefer to step into the shoes of famous Marvel hero Wanda or the Scarlet Witch. We personally love her 1950s WandaVision look, but even that doesn’t beat her devilishly good superhero suit, represented perfectly in this Minecraft Wanda Maximoff skin.

Star Wars skins

While there has been an official Star Wars mash-up, complete with a world, texture pack, and skins, it does require purchasing with real money. Plenty of awesome Star Wars skins are available for free if you’re not willing to part with your cash for the DLC.

Chewbacca skin

Unlike the other Star Wars skins listed below, we’ve gone with a less detailed skin for Chewbacca, as the smooth, cartoonish style is just super cute. Still immediately distinguishable as the Wookie, this Chewie skin has two little fangs and a bandolier standing out among his brown fur.

Darth Maul skin

There are some Darth Vader skins if Anakin is your favorite Sith Lord, but Darth Maul has a far more eye-catching look when it comes to being immortalized in a Minecraft skin. This Darth Maul skin, in particular, looks awesome, with every detail of his face, horns, and outfit defined beautifully. While we can’t help you wield a red lightsaber in Minecraft, we’re sure there’s a mod out there that can help.

Luke Skywalker skin

There are a few different looks to choose from if you want to dress up your Minecraft character as Luke Skywalker, especially if you include the Skywalker Saga (we’re not here to pass comments either way). However, this adorable Luke Skywalker skin instantly stood out as our favorite, featuring Luke in his bright orange Red 5 pilot suit, complete with helmet.

Princess Leia skin

You could class many of Leia Organa’s Star Wars outfits as iconic: the gold ‘bikini’, her white Hoth snowsuit, and her natural brown dress worn in the Ewok village. However, no look is more classic than her white hooded dress and hair buns, and that’s the outfit you can wear with this Princess Leia Minecraft skin. Due to the confines of the Minecraft skin creator, the dress becomes more of a practical pantsuit – which we know Leia wasn’t averse to anyway – but you can still make out the legendary hairstyle.

Mandalorian skin

This Mandalorian skin is the way.

Boba Fett skin

Fancy yourself as a bit of an intergalactic bounty hunter? Well then, look no further than this Boba Fett skin, with his iconic palette of red, green, and yellow perfectly recreated.

Stormtrooper skin

As one of the most recognizable ‘faces’ in Star Wars, there are countless Stormtrooper skins out there, some colorful, some 3D, some without their helmet – and even a Minion in a Stormtrooper suit. However, this classic representation of the Stormtrooper is our favorite, thanks to the attention to detail in the shading and its 3D helmet.

Pixar skins

Onward Barley skin

As possibly our favorite Pixar movie of all time, we couldn’t resist including the lovable Barley from Onward. In the story about brotherly love, loss, and badass moms, no character develops quite like big bro Barley, and we’re here for his journey. Reward Barley with an all-new adventure through the Minecraft overworld, Nether, and End with this Onward Pixar skin from NameMC.

Little Green Man

When you think of Pixar, you either think of Toy Story or those cool/creepy little shorts that used to play before the film. Well, we’ve got for the former with this cool little green man skin. Sure, there’s Woody, Buzz (keep reading), or Jessie, but there would be no Toy Story without those squeaky little alien toys, and while there are a few variations available, none get their bulging eyes right like this one.

Buzz Lightyear skin

If you want to feel slightly more like an action hero than a bumbling little squeeze toy, then of course there’s no better Pixar legend than Buzz Lightyear himself. Judging by some of the skins out there, he’s a tough one to get right, and some of our favorites are actually just anyone in a suit, like this one, which you could even customize to look like yourself. However, this Buzz Lightyear skin captures the cheeky charm of the Space Ranger.

Inside Out’s Joy

Like Onward, Inside Out is one of the more modern Pixar movies, and explores the emotions of Riley, a young girl, and the events that forged her core memories. The movie takes place inside Riley’s mind, where her emotions reside, literally, as Joy is pivotal in keeping her friends Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear in check. If you want to bring a bit more Joy to your Minecraft world, this Minecraft Joy skin is inspired by the blue-haired character and her iconic floral dress – though it’s a little more bright yellow than you might remember. We can’t knock it though, the color of the sunshine always cheers us up.

Videogame skins

Pokemon skin

Minecraft might be one of the best survival games, but it’s unlikely the only game you like, so why not combine some of your favorites? You can always bring other games into the Minecraft world with some spectacular gaming-themed Minecraft builds or even play one game within the other, just like you can with Pixelmon, one of the best Minecraft mods. But then you may as well look the part, too. So, speaking of bringing Pokémon to Minecraft, why not drop into a Pixelmon server as Ash Ketchum himself and become a Minecraft Pokemon master?

Super Mario Yoshi skin

Alternatively, you could take that pipe into Minecraft’s own Super Mario DLC as everyone’s favorite little dinosaur with this Yoshi Minecraft skin. Just don’t get eaten by a Piranha Plant…

Toad Minecraft skin

While we’re on the topic of Mario, Yoshi isn’t the Italian plumber’s only adorable side kick, and you might prefer to put on a skin based on the always cute Toad. Naturally, you can get this skin in a variety of color variants, but we’ve chosen to highlight this purple Minecraft Toad skin, complete with matching vest. We know it’s usually blue, but we like the coordination.

Among Us skin

Just like fellow hit game Among Us, Minecraft lets you play silly games, betray your friends, and dress up in ridiculous brightly colored space suits. If the latter is important to you, you should try this fabulous classic red Among Us skin. Is it just me, or did this crewmate put on some muscle? Kind of… sus.

Sonic skin

It won’t make you any faster, but if you’re a fan of the famous blue hedgehog, then wearing a Sonic skin in Minecraft is the best way to combine your favorite games. Of course, it’s not easy to make an accurate blocky replica of Sonic – and as the people behind the Sonic the Hedgehog movie discovered, it’s all in the eyes. We think this awesome Minecraft skin does an excellent job of capturing Sonic’s giant eyeballs and facial expressions.

Master Chief Halo skin

Exploring deep Minecraft caves full of spiders, creepers, and trigger-happy skeletons feels much safer when wearing Master Chief’s full-body armor. While this Halo skin won’t protect you against damage, the beautiful dark green suit with its distinguishable orange visor is guaranteed to make you the most intimidating miner.

HD skins

Steve HD skin

Looking for something less pixel-y? This Minecraft HD skin will give you that smooth look you want, thereby greatly reducing the blockiness. Of course, as our number one choice of Minecraft HD skin, who else could it be but Steve? Or little Steve, in this case. It’s funny, cute, and very high-definition.

Smooth HD skin

Yes, it’s another Steve skin, but this one’s even smoother than the one above. We think it’s because of that rad little straw-colored hat. If you’re going for a fashionable HD skin, you might as well wear a classic hat to match the vibe.

Alex HD skin

If you’d rather dress up as Steve’s female counterpart, Alex, then this HD Alex skin is the skin for you. It’s a much cleaner version of the default Alex skin, and it has additional sunglasses to increase the overall smoothness of the look. Fewer pixels, more swag.

Spooky Minecraft skins

Ghostface skin

Scream is a classic slasher, and the Ghostface mask is one of the most iconic images of the spooky season. There are loads of Ghostface skins to choose from, but our favorite is this Ghostface skin which nails the mask design perfectly. While the rest of the outfit is pretty simple, it’s true to the Ghostface robe and gives all the attention to the mask.

Zombie girl

If you’re after something a little more original than a licensed character, perhaps this cute zombie girl skin is more to your liking. If rotting and adorable could ever be juxtaposed, you can see it in this skin, because – despite the bones protruding from her green flesh – this is what we want to look like if we ever become a zombie. We’d even settle for a Halloween costume this good, to be honest. Right, back to making a ghost costume out of a bed sheet.

Jason Voorhees Minecraft skin

We can’t get enough of the 3D elements of this awesome Jason Voorhees skin, making it look as though the serial killer has just dragged his decaying body from the bottom of a lake… oh, wait. Like most skins on NameMC, there are also color variants for this Friday the 13th skin, and one seems to be influenced by the purple and blue NES Jason Voorhees, and we can’t decide which is better.

Pumpkin skin

There’s no shortage of scary Minecraft skins, but we also like something a bit more festive and costume-like. This spooky outfit is perfect; thanks to the pumpkin theme, it cannot be mistaken for anything other than a Halloween skin. Time to go trick-or-treating in the local village.

Skeleton costume skin

Here’s another cute one, cos we’ve all done the skeleton onesie costume at some point in our lives, right? Equal parts cozy and spooky, whether you spend October 31st indoors or out on the town, there’s no more comfortable costume than this, so we imagine this skeleton onesie skin must be pretty well-suited to mining and fighting off creepers, too.

Holiday skins

Summer Steve skin

We all think Steve is pretty cool, right? He’s the face of our favorite game, after all. Then there are a few skins above that even make him look pretty awesome. But we don’t think any of them compare to this Summer Steve skin, which somehow gives him a kind of swagger, even when he’s not moving. There’s loads of similar Hawaiian shirt skins to choose from for the summer vibe, and you could even make one to match your own oc, but if you don’t have one or can’t be bothered, Steve is ready to download.

Winter Alex skin

We were looking for a Winter skin to go with the Summer skin above, and we did see this cute Alex skin in a woolly jumper, which got us thinking how so few skins are based around Steve’s original female counterpart. Lo and behold, we then found this even cooler Winter Alex skin (pun intended) in which the original green shirt, brown pants skin is completely frozen in ice. Hopefully she’s not too uncomfortable in there.

Easter bunny

Easter is a great time for relaxing with family and enjoying the first days of spring, and while we know it wouldn’t exist without a certain religious figure, Easter as we know it now also wouldn’t be the same without the Easter bunny. As the face of the season – alongside its friend the adorable lamb – the bunny goes hand-in-hand with Easter, so this cute bunny skin is perfect for the long weekend, and longer.

Christmas skin

Nothing says “Christmas” like a penguin wearing a classic red-and-white Santa hat with a beautiful Christmas sweater. Such a pity we can’t wear this seasonal penguin skin all year round… Unless you’re really into Christmas, of course. You do you.

Emo Christmas skin

If you’re a little more bah-humbug than most around the holidays, but still want to acknowledge the time of year somehow – perhaps your server buddies are making you – then give this black-and-white emo holiday skin a go, complete with black knitted jumper and black Santa hat.

Grinch skin

There is one who’s even more bah-humbug than the skin above, and that’s The Grinch. Well, he was. Adorned with his cozy red and white scarf, he might not have come around just yet, but take him to meet some villagers in a snowy taiga village and we’re sure he (and you) will soon be in the festive mood.
