Changes[]

General[]

Skin
  • Skins and capes are now distributed through servers.
    • Skins server outages will occur less frequently and have less impact.[1][2]
    • Skin changes will no longer require client restarting, at worst re-logging will update the skin for everybody.

    • Duplicate skins no longer need to be downloaded twice.
    • Server traffic will barely be affected.
Name Changing

    • The ability to actually change account names will not come until 1.8.[3]
