Minecraft:Skin pack

Template:ForTemplate:Exclusive
A skin pack is a type of downloadable content that adds additional Minecraft:skins for players to choose from along with the default skins included with the game's purchase. Skin packs are available in Template:El as purchasable content on the Minecraft:Marketplace. They often feature characters from other video games, movies, and television shows, alongside original designs. Skin packs all have skins related to one another, e.g, a movie skin pack includes characters from only the designated movie. Skin packs are a way to quickly obtain several themed skins at once.
In addition to separately available skin packs, some Minecraft:mash-up packs and downloadable worlds come bundled with skin packs as well.
Custom skin packs can be created and imported to the game with a data system similar to Minecraft:resource packs and Minecraft:behavior packs.

Package format
Custom skin packs use a package format which contains multiple Minecraft:skins for the players and loaded by the game under the Template:Cd directory. It is defined in Template:Cd with the Template:Cd module, and contains Template:Cd and Minecraft:localization files for defining skin entries. When a custom skin pack is loaded by the game, it appears as a skin pack below the custom skin on the "Classic Skins" menu of the Minecraft:Dressing Room.
Zipped skin packs can be distributed with the Template:Cd file extension. Opening a skin pack file will automatically import it to Template:Cd and it appears in the Dressing Room. Imported skin packs do not support custom geometry models, only being exclusive to Minecraft:marketplace skin packs made by official collaborations, or published by "Minecraft".Template:Cn
