While playing on Minecraft, on PC, no mods, and survival.... the hosts' skin does not show. The hosts' skin is always Alex. This all started when Alex was added in minecraft (1.8update) and has yet to be fixed. You can't even change it to Steve.... When another person hosts, their skin is then changed to Alex. It kind of sucks when you host and your skin is forced to be Alex... Please look into this. Again this all started with the Alex 1.8 update and is still going on through 1.12 update :/.. Thank you!
