# Minecraft Skin Generator XL

Monadical is pleased to announce the official release of the Minecraft Skin Generator XL model. We had previously released the [Minecraft Skin Generator](https://huggingface.co/monadical-labs/minecraft-skin-generator) model based upon Stable Diffusion 2. This new model offers significant improvements over the last generation of models.

### Key Features

1. **Upgrade to Stable Diffusion XL** - Our model is now based upon the Stable Diffusion XL model, which greatly improves the quality of generated skins when compared to previous models.
1. **Transparent Layer Support** - The new model now supports the transparency layer in the hair and helmet section of the skin.

### Try It Out Yourself

There are several options for trying out this new model:

1. Download the model and run it locally on your machine. Note that we recommend a GPU for this - while it is possible to run on a CPU, we do not currently support this method.  **Note**: Output from the StableDiffusionXL pipeline should be constrained to 768x768 pixels, or the model will automatically generate a 1024x1024 output image, and fill in the extra space with unusuable garbage.
1. Try our hosted version of the model on the [Minecraft Skin Generator website](https://www.skingenerator.io).
