# Minecraft Skin Generator


## Update - February 19th, 2024

We have released a new open sourced Minecraft Skin Generator XL model based on Stable Diffusion XL.  It offers many improvements over the original model, including support for the transparency layer.  

Check it out in the [monadical-labs/minecraft-skin-generator-sdxl](https://huggingface.co/monadical-labs/minecraft-skin-generator-sdxl) respository.

We also offer a hosted version of the model on the [Minecraft Skin Generator](https://www.skingenerator.io) website.

## Overview

This Stable Diffusion model was fine-tuned to generate a pre-version 1.8 Minecraft character skins, based on a text prompt.  The process for doing so is detailed in the Monadical blog post, [Even More Skin in the Game: Digging Deeper Into Stable Diffusion-Generated Minecraft Skins](https://monadical.com/posts/minecraft-skins-part2.html)

The model was fine-tuned on the dataset for 13,000 steps using the 'train_text_to_image.py' script provided with the diffusers library.  A checkpoint has been included in the 'checkpoint' directory.

Some postprocessing is required to import and use the generated skins in Minecraft.

Example code to generate usable in-game Minecraft skins can be found in the [Monadical-SAS/minecraft_skin_generator](https://github.com/Monadical-SAS/minecraft_skin_generator) GitHub respository.

## Examples

Here are some example text prompts and the images they generate:

* "Albert Einstein"

* "Mahatma Ghandi"
