FAQ
  • No, it is not related to UberHaxorNova... click here to discover what nova skin means. The logo is inspired on a beer.
  • This was the first "mod" posted in planet minecraft. This is not a mod, i know. That time there are fewer categories. Anyway, projects are for world levels, blogs are for stories. The site miss a "tools" category.
  • The editor works on any version of minecraft. Skins implementation mostly remain unchanged between versions of the game. The unique change was the bottom face flipping in beta/1.0 transition.
  • This is a site, you don't need to download anything.
  • Abcd is better. Nice, use that.
  • No, it's not "Google Chrome" only. Will work with Firefox, Safari, Opera, even ie9. But you will love how smooth it runs in webkit browsers, especially Google Chrome.

Thanks

Also, a quick note here:
The texture pack editor was updated to minecraft 1.5
Minecraft still 1.4 to date, so it means you need to use the last snapshot to be able to test the block and items textures.
