If you’re not online, you just won’t have your chosen skin. Turns out that the issue has likely something to do with your online state. Thankfully, there’s a possible workaround that may help with this annoying bug. Platforms affected by the Steve and Alex skin issue on Minecraft include PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and even mobile. While many of the complainants state that the wardrobe malfunction is affecting themselves, there are also several saying that it’s other’s custom skins that are messed up while theirs is the only one that displays correctly.

So i cant see any skins in minecraft but my own, everyone else is just steve or alex and it’s really annoying me so can anybody help? I switched back to 1.8.9 now, and im wondering if anyone here knows the answer.

So ive been using Lunar client 1.8.9 for a while now, and when 1.16 lunar client came out a few days ago, I downloaded it and joined Hypixel, I noticed that the only skins that were appearing were steve and alex. The problem reportedly kicks in as soon as Minecraft is started, following which the game randomly assigns the character either the Steve or Alex skin, with no apparent option to switch between them thereafter. The issue in question is related to skins, out of all things, where a player sees every other player on a multiplayer server with either the Steve or Alex skin. Although there has been a spike in complaints for the past few days. Well, not exactly lately since reports of it have been doing rounds for months. Minecraft players are bumping into an annoying issue lately.
