This is a list of external tools that can be used for wiki-related content.

Guideline
Not all methods require a tool but knowing how to get a skin file is important for some tools below.
 * SkyBlock Addons / NBT data (player head items only) - while there are various ways to get NBT data, the recommended method is using the Skyblock Addon mod. Once you are running the mod and logged into SkyBlock, use the command  to enable dev mode, then hover over the item and hit right control to copy it to the clipboard. The NBT data can be pasted into the Head Renderer Script to obtain the skin url as well as a render of the image.
 * Wikitools Mod / NBT data (both items and entities) - Click while hovering over an item or facing an entity to copy its NBT data. Inside the data is an encoded string; copy and paste it into base64decode.org. This will contain an URL to the skin file. The mod doesn't make any chat message after copying the NBT data, so be careful!
 * .minecraft folder (both) - A bit of a hassle, but requires no mods or tools. First, you'll want to go to your  folder and delete the "skins" folder inside of it (keep this folder open). Next, you'll want to open Minecraft, go to the loading zone right -before- the item you want, re-delete the skins folder (the fewer items in it the better), get the item's skin file to load, then log out right away to prevent getting extra skins. You should now have a bunch of files in your skins folder; you will need to append the ".png" file extension to the end of these files to view them (a mass file rename tool can be useful), and then find the one you want.
 * Other sites (both) - Another way it to get the file from another site. While there are various ways, some are:
 * NPCs: matdoes.dev (click or search the NPC you want and it will have a skin download option)
 * Player Heads: sky.lea.moe — Find someone with the item/player head you want, then right click > Inspect element on the image. You'll see an URL for the background image such as . Copy that code and paste it into this link   for the texture image!

Wikitools
Wikitools Mod 2+ ( Download Link GitHub ) - A mod that lets you render any entity (mob, player, NPC, anything) with a single click of a button. Wikitool is useful in many ways, and will be generally described here.

Usage: Steve.png *Both types are supported by Head render thingy
 * Entity/Armor Set Render
 * - Opens UI for entity rendering, including armor set rendering
 * - Copies the entity you are looking at to memory
 * - Copies the of an entity
 * UI/Item Data
 * - Copies tooltip of that item you are hovering over, formatted for Tooltips Data
 * - Copies UI of an opened menu formatted for UI
 * - Copies the of an item you are hovering over*
 * - Copies the Texture ID of a head*

The mod above requires you own the armor to take picture of equipped armor sets. Sometimes you do not want to acquire an armor set in-game. To circumvent that, you should use Item Commands.

Item Commands
Item Command Generator ( JSFiddle ) - A script that converts NBT data into Minecraft commands.

Usage:
 * Use Wikitool to copy the NBT data from the Auction House, or from any inventory slot you can find it
 * Plug each NBT data into the script and generate the commands
 * On a vanilla world with cheats enabled, execute each generated command to give yourself such items
 * Use Wikitool to render the armor set

Alternative Skin Renderer
The downloadable files listed require Blender to open. To render a skin you first need to acquire the skin file, and then replace is as the input image in the blender file. All skin renders should try to use this method for consistency.
 * actual_player.blend - used in infoboxes
 * actual_player_backwards.blend - not used on wiki directly, but can be useful for map images

BlockRenderer Mod
BlockRenderer 0.3.3 ( Curseforge ) - A mod that allows quick rendering of any item, block and head. Please note that enchanted items shall be handled differently.

Usage: Stone.png
 * - Generates a 512x512px render of the item you are hovering over
 * - Renders in smaller resolution
 * - Renders all the resources of the mod that the item belongs to
 * Renders are stored in    or

Enchanted Item Versions
Since screenshots end up with an inconsistent item glint, enchantment glint is applied to a render of the unenchanted form with an image editing software. To begin, you should download either Photoshop or GIMP as your image editing software, and one of the Glint Toolkit ZIP.


 * Download Glint Toolkit in ZIP Files
 * Photoshop Version
 * GIMP Version

Procedure: Obsidian.png Enchanted Obsidian.png
 * Get Source: Take an unenchanted render with BlockRenderer, or a high-detailed render from Minecraft wiki or from Minecraft texture files.
 * Resize Image: Resize an item render to either 150px or 512px. Resize a block render to either 300px or 512px.
 * Open Software: Open the corresponding PSD or XCF file from the Glint Toolkit. (Note that items and blocks uses different files. Notice the prefix  and  )
 * Apply Glint: Paste the source image into the software as a layer and remove the existing block/item used for demo. 
 * Generate Image: Export the result in PNG format.

Colored Leather Armor Icons
Wise Dragon Chestplate.png Leather Armor Coloring ( JSFiddle ) - an online tool used to make images of leather armor with a specific color. Requires no assets.

Head Renderer
Player Head.png Head Render Thingy 4.0 ( Website GitHub ) - An online tool used to render custom heads and obtain the Texture Id of the head render.

Accept Input:
 * Head/Skin file
 * or
 * Head Command from a NameMC skin page (Note: NOT a player page!)
 * A known Texture Id

Alternatively, you may use BlockRenderer to generate a head render of a placed head.

Isometric screenshots
Mineshot ( Direct Download Website ) - a Minecraft mod used to take isometric and high-res screenshots. Instructions are in the link, file download is below.

Sprite
Bulvar_Sprite.png NPC Sprite Maker ( JSFiddle ) - Makes a 64x64 sprite image of an NPC's face from a skin file for use on the wiki

Sprite Upscaler ( JSFiddle ) - Turns any-sized sprite into a 64x64px version. Will only be used for transforming the old mob/npc sprites from 16x16 to 64x64 images.

Text Parsers and Generator
Enchanted Book.png UI Multi-parser and Generator ( JSFiddle ) - Generates the Slot part for Shop UIs. To use it, copy the NBT of the item, paste it into the input box, and click "generate". You still have to fill in the <1>, and fields though.

Articles
Magic Words ( MediaWiki Article ) - List of magic words that helps editing in source mode.

NEU Repo
Not Enough Updates (NEU) Repository ( Github ) - As NEU has a larger team of testers, patrons and players with substantial amounts of in-game coins, their data gathering is usually more efficient than Wiki Editors. It is therefore useful to reference and use data from the NEU Repo. See also:

Note that minions are referenced as items named as _GENERATOR_.json

Leaked Textures
Megakloon's profile on namemc.com ( NameMC ) - Hypixel Admin Minikloon sometimes wear new skins created for SkyBlock. This is where you can see the skins Minikloon used.
