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!
