Minecraft Figura mod guide

In Minecraft, you can create any skin and apply it to your character. Even though every character you make in the game has the same features and properties, you can personalize that character by creating and applying unique skins. Over the years, the game's community has found various ways to heavily customize skins, even in Java Edition.

One mod that allows you to customize your skin completely is called Figura. Here are more details about the Minecraft mod.

Note: This article only covers the basics of the Figura mod. This is because it is a highly technical mod that allows you to completely tweak your skin and model. Hence, all the information cannot be covered in this article.

Features and download guide for the Figura mod for Minecraft

What does the Figura mod offer?

Figura is a Minecraft mod that helps you create dynamic and expressive animated skins in-game, which are far more expressive than the standard skins.

It enables highly customizable skins by supporting full 3D models, animations, emotes, and even Lua programming. Figura allows users to create complicated gestures, blinking eyes, and waving hands, all of which are visible to other players on servers that support the mod.

This mod needs to be paired with an application called Blockbench. This free 3D modeling tool can create custom Minecraft skins with unique 3D models.

First, download the Figura mod for Minecraft and open the game. Then, enter a new world and pause the game to see the Figura icon appear in the menu. Click on it to enter the custom Figura model page. From there, click on the plus sign on the left to create a new Figura model.

After naming and creating a new model, the game will open the file explorer where the model file is created. This file then needs to be dragged and dropped into the Blockbench application. After doing this, the in-game character's model will show up in the application.

From here, you can start editing each and every part of your character, and also add unique animations to it. Once done, it can be saved and further tweaked through the Figura mod in the game itself.
