Our verdict on MCTools
MCTools is a free collection of browser utilities for Minecraft, and its skin editor recently received an overhaul that added layers, hotkeys, smarter undo, a better 3D view and cleaner body-part controls. The editor paints directly on a rotatable 3D model, can fetch an existing skin by username as a starting point, and exports the result, with a shortcuts popup behind a question-mark button for faster work once the basics are familiar.
The rest of the toolkit is what makes it distinctive. A Skin Pack Maker bundles several skins into a Bedrock skin pack, an Avatar Maker turns any skin into a profile picture, and builders for capes, custom paintings, music discs, totems, armour stand skins and player heads cover other cosmetic packs. A Pack Merger combines several texture packs into one .mcpack file, and a converter translates Overworld coordinates to the Nether. Everything runs in the browser, with no downloads, no uploads and no account, so a skin can be edited and packaged in one sitting.
The site is young, and the changelog on its home page doubles as the main documentation, so details such as HD sizes or slim-arm support are not spelled out for the editor. The wider toolkit leans towards Bedrock packaging, which suits console and mobile players more than Java users who only need a PNG. For someone who wants to edit a skin and ship it as part of a Bedrock pack in the same session, nothing else on this list covers both jobs.
