How we write these guides
Each guide starts with a short answer, then the steps, then the details. Facts about Minecraft (menus, sizes, what works on which device) are checked against Minecraft's own help pages, Microsoft's creator documentation and the Minecraft Wiki, and every guide lists its sources and the date we last checked them. MinecraftSkin.app is not an official Minecraft product; when the game changes, we update the guide.
