"Quality-Of-Life" Improvements for Bedrock Skinners

With Minecraft's growth and evolution as a platform, the way creators share Minecraft content has grown and evolved too. For many years, PlanetMinecraft has been the go-to place to share and showcase Minecraft-related content. Many skinners, like myself, have taken a liking to PMC and it's wide audience as a way to build an online portfolio for our content. With the expansion of skinning possibilities in the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft, there are a couple changes that would help make PMC a more inclusive platform for Bedrock (and java!) skinners.

1) Allow the posting of "HD" playerskins. In the Bedrock edition of Minecraft, players are able to download and use 128x128 HD player skins, as opposed to the typical 64x64. This new skin type would start almost an entire new genre of content on the marketplace for a new audience. The creativity that can be achieved with 128x128 player skins is astounding. Certainly PMC's talented community would showcase this best.

2) Allow skins to be non-downloadable. With the rise of the Minecraft Marketplace, many members of the PlanetMinecraft community find themselves producing content that must be exclusive to the Marketplace. Allowing PMC users to post their skins while not having to provide a download would allow skinners, and especially Marketplace creators, to showcase their work without fear of content thief or contracts. It may, at first, seem like this would mitigate PlanetMinecraft's purpose as a download hub for Minecraft content. This is a fair argument. For that reason, a separate "skin showcase" section could possible be added to the website for the sole purpose of showing of your creations.

2a) Furthermore, allowing creators to post skins without a download link allows them to showcase skins or skinning projects that are in-progress, like collections and skin packs, without allowing for premature downloads.

3) Allow colors to be saved to the pallet at a non-100 opacity. This one isn't specifically for Bedrock Skinners, just skinners in general. This would just be helpful for skinners who like to paint with their skins, using opacity to build up colors.

Thank you in advance for your consideration of these changes. It is my vision that these changes could help make PMC a tool for not only Java skinners, but also skinners from the ever-expanding Bedrock edition. Bedrock and Java are two different platforms, but websites like PMC have the power to unify both types of creators into one Minecraft community.

Thanks again for your consideration :)
