English: A user-created guide demonstrating the template used to create Minecraft player skins since Java Edition 1.8. The template is a 64×64 PNG file in which colors are defined for drawing the head, body, and individual limbs, with the option of drawing an additional layer of any or all of the three. That layer may be entirely transparent or blank. Labels are given to each polygon, including those of the second layer as marked by '2'. Outlines are used to identify the sides' edges. The brightest sides are the front sides, and the center of brightness on each of them is moved somewhat to the top left to better identify (from left clockwise) the left, top, bottom, back, right, and front sides.
