Decoder

 * Procedure

 {... { "textures": [{ "Value": "eyJ0aW1lc3RhbXAiOjE1MjM1MzYyNDI5NDMsInByb2ZpbGVJZCI6IjQxZDNhYmMyZDc0OTQwMGM5MDkwZDU0MzRkMDM4MzFiIiwicHJvZmlsZU5hbWUiOiJNZWdha2xvb24iLCJzaWduYXR1cmVSZXF1aXJlZCI6dHJ1ZSwidGV4dHVyZXMiOnsiU0tJTiI6eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwOi8vdGV4dHVyZXMubWluZWNyYWZ0Lm5ldC90ZXh0dXJlLzU3NTFiMmMzMTFhY2Q0OGUwNmY3MTUwOGM2ODczNWZlOWYzYTRmNGQ3NWI5ZWYxYTI0ZmExMzMzZDc3In19fQ==" }] }, ...}
 * First, obtain or . Here an example NBT Data:

 {"timestamp":1523536242943,"profileId":"41d3abc2d749400c9090d5434d03831b","profileName":"Megakloon","signatureRequired":true,"textures":{"SKIN":{"url":"http://textures.minecraft.net/texture/5751b2c311acd48e06f71508c68735fe9f3a4f4d75b9ef1a24fa1333d77"}}}
 * Putting the "Value" bit without the equal signs into the website, we can decode it as:

 Texture URL: http://textures.minecraft.net/texture/5751b2c311acd48e06f71508c68735fe9f3a4f4d75b9ef1a24fa1333d77  Texture Id: 5751b2c311acd48e06f71508c68735fe9f3a4f4d75b9ef1a24fa1333d77
