Skin Ink Color
Splatcraft adds a way for a player's skin to reflect their ink color
The Skin Ink Color is a .png file named player_ink_color that marks pixel to be overlayed in a player's skin with their current ink color, the same way a regular minecraft skin works.
Pixels in the Skin Ink Color will replace pixels on the player's Minecraft skin with ones that change with the player's ink color.
Pixels that are transparent will mix with the pixel they are replacing for the displayed color, for example, if a player's Minecraft skin has a red shirt, and their Skin Ink Color layer covers their shirt, and if in-game their ink color is blue, the colors will mix and in-game the shirt will be purple.
Pixels in the Skin Ink Color will appear even if they are not replacing a pixel in the player's minecraft skin, in this case transparent pixels in the 2nd layer will be transparent.
Skin Ink Color refreshes when you join a world, so if you want to quickly see how different Skin Ink Colors look like, you do not need to restart the game.
The Skin Ink Color is meant to be used with a grayscale, but pixels of any color will change along with the player's ink color.
Once you have a Skin Ink Color file, make sure its named "player_ink_color" and that it is a .png file, then go to your config folder, and if there isnt one already create a folder named "splatcraft" and put your "player_ink_color" file inside the splatcraft folder
A method of creating a Skin Ink Color is to go to NameMC and search your Minecraft account, click on the face of your current skin, click the first tool button to greyscale the skin, then if the area you want to be ink colored is not bright, click the second tool button to invert the colors, download the result, the open the file on Blockbench and Erase any pixels that you do not want to be ink colored (make sure to also turn on visibility for the 2nd layers of a skin), you may also change the brightness of the pixels if the ink colored pixels look too bright or dark in-game, Tip: you can use different brightnesses to give a better contrast between skin parts
You can also use any image/minecraft skin editing tools to greyscale, invert and erase pixels on your minecraft skin.
