Characters/skins revert to default when restarting the game

No - unfortunately this is still happening. Even after my client updated to 1.21.21. Skin/character changes to something different every time I open the game, just like shown in the video.

Don't know if this helps - but every time I first open the game and go to "Dressing Room", it gives me the "Character and Classic Skin Differences" pop-up, as if it's the first time I've ever been to the Dressing Room. I wonder if whatever is causing this problem is originating there.

Trying to update the skin through the Dressing Room still does not work (just like shown in the video) - but the current workaround of going to the Marketplace and resetting my skin that way every time I open the game is still working.

This is definitely an issue I have experienced, especially on Xbox and mobile. All of my character creator skins poof out of existence or back to a default character (usually Alex, Kai or Efe) but all of my classic skins still exist.

Is there a glitch with a Microsoft account acceptance? I sign in repeatedly and still cannot access the skins so just by simply saying that you must sign into your Microsoft account is not a resolve to all those suggesting such. There may be an issue with Microsoft itself. I have noticed that in some attempts when signing into the Microsoft account that it does not accept my account at all. And other attempts it seems to be just fine.
I have tried opening the suggested classic skins but an unable to move to a different skin. If I back out and come back in it offers me a different character. But I am still unable to move with the cursor on my d-pad. So I have to exit and come back in just to finally get it to select the classic Steve skin pack about six or seven times.

This still happens in 1.21.23 all my characters is just resetting they hair, eyes, eyebrows, lips color and chosen emotes and equipped capes is gone too after reopening the game.

Still the issue in Minecraft 1.21.30 on iPad(9th generation) with iPadOS 18.

This is interesting - I just opened 1.21.30 for the first time on Windows 10, and while initially my character changed to Steve or someone else, eventually it did go back to my default "Smile" skin I had selected before closing the game.

I will keep testing with this version to make sure it wasn't just a fluke, but it's certainly promising.

I see alisistarsun said they're still having the issue on 1.21.30 on an iPad - so possible it's not fixed yet and I just got lucky. I'll post back after a couple of days to see if it's consistently remembering my skin.

UPDATE 9/19/24 - I've started the game several times since 1.21.30 dropped, and even though my character still briefly appears with one of the random skins as the game is first opening, it corrects to my usual skin within a second or two before I advance to the Play menu. I believe this issue has been fixed at least for Windows 10.

Update on 22 September.

Login today into game and all my created characters changes they colors again, also I realized that when I login into Minecraft Preview 1.21.40.22 after encountering this bug in release version my character creator characters colors back to normal even in when I’m open Minecraft 1.21.30 after. However on the next day Minecraft 1.21.30 forgets about that, what color my skins had.

UPD. After trying to fix this bug via opening current Minecraft Preview 1.21.30.22 the same bug also appeared here however when I open Minecraft 1.21.30 on my iPhone 8 my characters colors return to normal but my custom skin got overwritten by default, along with that when I open Minecraft on my iPad, yes my skins colors back to normal although custom skin and emotes got replaced by default and cape got unequipped.

Update on 28/29 September

Even on new device such as iPhone 16 this bug still exists, every time when I also open Minecraft on my iPhone 16/also iPhone 8  my characters and custom skins is just keep resetting to default. BUT when I play only on my iPad and not touching phone version the only issue I have in this situation it’s just characters creator skins who keeps reverting to default and changing they colors.

For my case, I use custom skins. This issue seems to occur very frequently when I simply close Minecraft, then relaunch the game before the game signs me in. This is what happened:

1. Launch Minecraft.

2. Wait for the game to sign you in.

3. Click on "Dressing Room."

4. Edit the current skin by switching your skin to a classic skin.

5. Use your owned skins.

6. Save your skin.

7. Close Minecraft.

8. Relaunch Minecraft.

If all steps have been replicated, the skin will revert back to the character creator skin before the game logs you in. Also, after logging in, your character skin will change to a different skin.
