# Modrinth Enhanced

with offline and Ely.by accounts.

series of patches that are applied to an upstream release tag, built, and published. Whenever

### Skins
With an Ely.by account selected, the skin page shows the account's skins on Ely.by: apply one, add
one from a file, switch its model or delete it. Ely.by has no API for changing skins, so the
launcher makes the website's own calls from a hidden window and asks you to sign in there once.
On servers that send no skins, such as offline-mode servers, the game looks each player's skin up by
name: first in the `player_skins` folder in the launcher directory (`<name>.png`, `<name>-slim.png`,
`capes/`, `elytras/`), then Ely.by, then Mojang, with capes from OptiFine. Settings > Features > Skins
has the switch and a button that opens the folder.
The Browse tab finds skins elsewhere. Ely.by's catalogue is browsed in the app, with its sorting,
filters and like, wearer and view counts. NameMC, laby.net and crafty.gg open in a window of the app
instead, because their skin lists are bot-protected or not meant for other programs; the skin page
you open there is previewed and can be added.
### Instances and crashes
A running instance can be started again from the button next to Stop, as whichever account is
selected, and the Logs tab then shows a console for each copy.
After a crash the Logs tab reads the crash report, the JVM error file and the end of the log, and
says what went wrong: out of memory, the wrong Java, missing or duplicate mods and more.
Ely.by skin management, skins for every player, second copies and crash explanations are adapted
from [Noctrinth](https://github.com/Everelsu/Noctrinth).
