[Feature Request] Eagler (Tuff client) to Java skin bridge #9
Description
Hello. I was wondering if you could implement a way to send the skin data of tuff client users to an api (like skins.client.tuff.ws or something like that) that Java edition players using the CustomSkinLoader mod can use to see the tuff client user's skins.
Idc if you make it an optional toggle, or just have it automatically do it. Also, i get that you all are busy with finishing ViaBlocks, so if this isn't a priority, but it at least gets put on the list, I'm fine with that.
If you're gonna mention SkinsRestorer, almost nobody in the server that I play on uses skinsrestorer, or knows how to use it, or even knows about it. I just don't want to be stuck looking at a bunch of Steves and Alexes all day when I buy myself my own laptop and start playing java edition.

I feel like this WOULD be cool, but it would have an extra layer of latency, and if the said API goes down, then oh well, out of luck, and SkinRestore is relatively easy to set up, and even allows you to "change" your skin mid-game. Overall, SkinRestore just works, and why fix it if it ain't broke.

I have a different idea. This is the ArchMC skin bridge. I don't personally fully trust this plugin, because what if there was a secret backdoor in it that Arch could use to sabotage your server. There aren't any releases published either. What I'm proposing is, what if yall added something like this to your TuffX plugin (Like, make it part of TuffX united, or create a separate plugin specifically for this one purpose).
The current solution just sucks, and that's why I'm still suggesting stuff like this. It is broke, and it needs fixing.

also, I would've posted this second idea in the tuffx repo, but this is already here, which makes things convenient for me.

No, skinrestorer doesn't work?
