When playing Minecraft Bedrock in offline mode (without internet), the custom skins saved in the skin bar do not load. I added my skins normally and they work perfectly when I’m online, but as soon as the game is offline, the skins disappear and I can’t use any of the ones I saved.
The game forces me to use the default skins while offline. This problem did not happen before and makes the offline experience very bad.
Steps to reproduce:
Add a custom skin to the skin bar
Close the game
Disable Wi-Fi and mobile data (offline mode)
Open the game again
Saved skins do not load
Expected result:
Custom skins saved in the skin bar should load normally even without an internet connection.
Actual result:
Skins only work when the game is online. Offline, all saved skins fail to load.

This is just a problem with this version, right? It's happening to me now, and it didn't in previous versions; I could use my skins offline.
Yah, it’s annoying that it does this. I think it is because the skins can only be accessed when your account is logged in, and your account can’t be logged in when it is online. It would be better if your skin could be put on the device instead of needing to be accessed through your account.
