Update: I have now created a page for the site here on Planet Minecraft, for easier discussion and discoverability. Visit page.

A couple of months ago, Miners Need Cool Shoes, of needcoolshoes.com, went offline, seemingly for good. The site provided a wonderful little skin editor, with support for layers, and a nice beginner friendly user interface. It was a real tragedy not just to lose the archive of skins on the site, but also the editor that came with it.

I myself only make skins occasionally, being more of a datapacker, but I have a friend who would use Miners Need Cool Shoes all the time. So I took it upon myself to restore the site as best I can, using the archives from the Wayback machine, and the knowledge I have of web development.

I now have a working version up at needcoolershoes.com, providing both the skin and banner editors. Importing and exporting skins works now, (it did not on the wayback machine), and I have further improvements planned, like potentially re-implementing a gallery feature like it once had.

Update: Gallery, Alex model editor, editor dark mode and more have been implemented.

If you have been missing Need Cool Shoes, I hope this helps.

Will also add: you can post suggestions and feedback to our discord, or feel free to leave them below.

hey can you like repost the skins that were here ebcause i had skins that i made on miner need cool shoes but that i didnt downloaded so i may have lost them if you can bring them back it would be very nice but if it is too complicated or simply impossible its not that bad, they were not very important skins but i would have loved to see my creations again..



edit: i also have another thing to ask, can i log into my old account or do i have to create another one because i tried to log into the account i had and it doesnt seem to works, also i just wanted to say thank you because it is so much cool to be able to make skins like in the old days with the OG skin editor, thank you thats all i wanted to say

Unfortunately, as this is merely a restoration, your old skins + account are not on this site. I am not the developer of the original site; I have made a clone of it instead, and do not have access to that old data.

I am however trying to get in contact with the old developer, and hope to one day convince them to restore the old skins.

Thanks so much for doing this! Miners Need Cool Shoes has been my choice for editing skins since the original website forever ago, then following them to the last website they had before they shut down for good. Still so sad that I lost some old skins of mine but I downloaded some of them thankfully. But this was the only decent skin editor imo and was so disappointed when it shut down. So excited to have found out about this and to see the improvements you've made like adding slim model support! Keep up the great work! :)

I've been wondering what happened to them!!! I'm so glad people like you have brought back something so amazing.
They say legends never die, if that were true minecraftsigs.org would still be here (but they died so so long ago)

I understand this is a restoration, but I really hope the banner editor gets updated at some point. I like it more than the PMC one, but it have been outdated since 2019.

I logged into my account really for the first time in a while, JUST TO TELL YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH. You made me so happy. Miners need cool shoes was my goto skin editor, I used it all the time. Making skins can be really fun for me, it was painful to see it go. I'm so glad this is a thing.

omg thank you, can you try fixing the gallery search engine so that it would be easier to search for things like "green shirt"? or the color picker?
