Hi, idk if this issue continues to be taken into account but I found an old issue here https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/WEB-1429 talking about the old authentification servers being shut down, but these old servers is what makes the skins not working in legacy version of Minecraft

But in this page there is a not from your team saying "We are looking to to re-introduce these endpoints so you can enjoy older version of Minecraft: Java Edition. The team will look into this during October-December 2022."

So if these endpoints are reintroduced the skins will be back on legacy versions of Minecraft ? Do you have any infos about that pls ?

If everyone is wondering, there is a ticket in the feedback website there https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/360078155412-Sheep-to-keep-their-colour-onced-sheared-in-Java-just-like-bedrock

Mojang, this issue have been there for so long and you make Bedrock Parity fixes for Java quite rarely, you do, but there is not a lot compared to what could be added from Bedrock to Java
But please at least consider this fix for Java, it’s been there for so long and that’s a small fix (I think)

Hi I come back because I don't understand something with the skins before Minecraft 1.3 and before
In the article it says that the skins can no longer be changed on these old versions (it's because the skin server has changed I know), but it's perfectly possible to do so
When you launch these versions, the LegacyLauncher or the launchwrapper is used to be able to launch them correctly, it allows you to modify the behavior of the game without really modifying it (I think I'm explaining badly)
But it is perfectly possible to modify the LegacyLauncher so that it can provide the skins to the game, and I managed to do it
I made a fork of the LegacyLauncher available here (it's a fork that fixes another fork that has already been created to fix this problem, you can see it on GitHub)
And as you can see on the screenshot, I managed to change my skin on Minecraft 1.0 while "it's not possible" (and it's not modded), just with a few lines of code added to the LegacyLauncher

So, please, is it possible that one day we can officially have the skins back on the Legacy versions of Minecraft ?

But for this subject, am I in the wrong place ? do I need to move to an MCL issue ?

I updated the report, hope you can do something

I also made a feedback here which talks about this problem on Legacy versions before 1.3, I hope it will not be deleted again for some reason

Edit : The feedback was deleted, can someone expain me why ???
