Theta Skins Server

A replacement for the now-removed legacy Minecraft Skins API, as well as providing a few fixes for older versions.

Run Instructions

• Clone the repository.
• Run npm install
• Populate the "resources" folder with the contents of .minecraft/resources (follow the readme file in the folder for more information)
• Set environment variable COOKIE_SECRET to a long, secret value.
• (Optional) Set environment variable NODE_PORT to the port you want the skin server to bind to (default is 6481).
• Start the program with npm run test

The program will automatically make directories and XML files.

How to Access

Append the following string to your hosts file:

<your-server-ip>    s3.amazonaws.com

Be sure to disable this after playing though, as a lot of the internet relies on Amazon S3 services and this server cannot provide all of them.
