Been working on the mobile version of our #minecraft skin editor, and have a beta out for all to test and give feedback. Currently missing a few features, like gallery integration and layer support, but is getting close to being done. mobile-beta.needcoolershoes.com #mcdev #minecraftskins

Looking for feedback on a different layout for the new editor. Do people like it? Is there anything else about the layout that should be changed? beta.needcoolershoes.com #minecraft #minecraftskins #mcdev

We have added layer filters to the new editor! These filters are non-destructive, meaning they do not change the underlying pixels of the layer, allowing them to be easily changed. As well, buttons have gotten a visual overhaul thanks to @p4ncake4451.bsky.social. #minecraft #mcdev #minecraftskins

The new layer tab, displaying filter options. A filter is applied to the current layer, making the character seem green and purple.

Working on the rewrite of the editor (take 2). This is what is there so far. UI is mostly a clone of the first new editor attempt, but uses @lit.dev for all web component goodness. Source code here: github.com/NeedCoolerShoes/editor #minecraft #mcdev #WebComponents

NeedCoolerShoes now has social media!!! What is it, you may ask? Well, NeedCoolerShoes is a powerful but user friendly Minecraft skin editor / gallery. It is a restoration of an old site: Miners Need Cool Shoes, which one day mysteriously vanished from the internet... #minecraft #minecraft-skins
