Services to bridge Eaglercraft & Minecraft Java skins through MineSkin.
- Eaglercraft uses its protocol for client skins. Eagler players are not online players, so they cannot create signed skins.
- On networks where the majority of the player base is playing on Eaglercraft, Java players may have an unauthentic experience looking at steve skins.
- Using the MineSkin API, SkinBridge queues Conversion Jobs (respecting the max concurrent job limit as described by the MineSkin API limits).
- These conversion jobs are processed by MineSkin, and a response is sent back to the SkinBridge agent, notifying it of a job completion.
- A Conversion Job consists of:
- Converting the Eaglercraft-formatted skin (ABGR8) into a standard PNG skin that MineSkin can process.
- Sending the job through MineSkin, which uses an online Minecraft account in its pool to generate a valid skin value and signature.
- Receiving the MineSkin response with the skin value and signature.
- Sending a one-way RPC network-wide with the valid skin value and signature, forcing an update on the Eagler player's client if online.
- Caching the response for up to 1w so that the player with the skin (and any other player with that skin) can reuse the generated skin value/signature when they log in again. The caching layer that ArchMC uses is Redis.
- SkinBridge exposes metrics to VictoriaMetrics for monitoring purposes:
