| Description |
|
Often players are shown as the standard "steve" skin. I believe this is due to frequent outages with skins.minecraft.net. Can something be done to fix the fragility of the skin system. |

Not a bug in the game, but our skin servers having difficulty. It is being worked on. |

|
When a player successfully logs in (and the skin server is up) the skin should be cached and used as a fallback if the skin server is down for some reason. |

I'm not reporting that the service is down. I'm reporting that it's a bug that the service is frequently down, and that the client doesn't handle the outage gracefully. (I would classify gracefully as using previously found skins) |

The Minecraft Skin Service is down. You will need to wait until it's back. |

It could also be viewed as a bug that the client doesn't cache the skins it successfully got in the past when it is unable to connect to the skin server. |

Apologies. Please direct me to the bug tracking system for the skin server. I'll open the ticket there. |

Yes, but that is not a bug to the game itself. |

I understand the problem, I even mention it within the description. It doesn't mean that the frequent outage isn't a bug that needs to be fixed. It can be a mojang server-side bug causing the frequent outages. Or inadequate capacity, that would also be a defect. |

This isn't a bug, look at help.mojang.com. You will see what's the problem. |
