So Statues used to use minecraft.net/minecraftskins to make its statues, But now all I get from going there is an error 404 message, The statues cant be made with skins. I need a solution but Im not sure what.
Config File innards for refrence.
# Configuration file
general {
# Save generated skins to files.
B:"debug skins"=false
I'm far from the expert, but Mojang appears to have re-structured its skin database. I have no idea if this has anything to do with the UUID changeover, because UUIDs clearly existed for years.
...neither does the Skin Stealer website, (oddly, the site icon does correctly update to the user's face!) nor some other website I checked.
The Skin Viewer program appears to still be working, so LukeRay has done something those websites haven't/can't.
I can't tell whether or not we need to start using a new URL in the config file, or if it's something that will require changing the Statues mod altogether.
Hopefully someone else can come by and offer their expertise.
For anyone who still gives a damn, I found a work-around, at least for 1.7.10.
The website Crafatar boasts that they're "A blazing fast API for Minecraft faces!"
You can go to your statues.cfg and change the skin server location to crafatar's: https://crafatar.com/skins/ (Please note that I believe a minecraft.net url still exists, but I simply don't know what it is.)
The catch? Instead of usernames, you need to use UUID and not player name.
You can find the UUID corresponding to a given playername at a number of sites. I use:
PLEASE NOTE—if you enter UUID with the hyphens, I believe the mod tries to load in your Alex-style skin, including the black bars on the arms. You instead enter the "trimmed UUID," without the hyphens, to load the Steve-style skin.
This of course means that you have to destroy and re-create statues already in your world, sorry. Honestly I think it's a miracle that 1.7.10 still loads player skins.
No idea how long this workaround will last. Use it while you can, folks.

Check out my survival series, Galaxy Odyssey. It ain't much, but it's mine.
My series also implements my mod, Village Names, on rare occasions.

DerFlash's website no longer seems to work...
