[Minecraft] How to change your skin (single player only)
Since logging in to Minecraft.net isn't an option, the only way you can change your skin is by doing the offline method. Here are the instructions.

1. Download a skin from any of those skin hosting sites. Googling "minecraft skins" will take you to hundreds of great sites. Just make sure the skin is a .PNG file.

2. Turn off your internet. Close your internet connection. This is a big requirement since an update made it so you have to change your skins online. This is the way to bypass that. Disconnect your router, or you can click on this icon and just disable the internet connection from reaching your pc. http://prntscr.com/4khdwl

3. Find the folder. Search for "%appdata%" and go to "/Roaming/.minecraft/versions" and choose the version you want.

4. Find and open the jar file. Open that folder and find the .jar file (may be executable). You will need winRAR to open this file.

5. Copy and then delete the meta file. Copy and then delete the meta.inf file. Put the copy somewhere safe, where you won't lose it.

6. Change the Steve file. Go to "assests/minecraft/textures/entity" and rename the image "steve" into "steveZERO".
-You don't want to delete the file because if you want to play online, Minecraft will crash. << IMPORTANT!!!

7. Place and title your new skin file. Rename the image you downloaded to "steve" (so that it matches the file name of the original steve skin), and place it in that same location (entity folder).

8. Start the game. Close the folders and start the game.

9. Enjoy your new skin. You will see yourself there! Just remember: This skin just works offline and if you go online it doesn't work.

Use Method #4!!! ^^

As of now, I don't know how your skin can be changed in multiplayer. I will update this post with an accouncement once I do.
