10 Minecraft skins perfect for boys and girls as of update 1.20

10) Enderman Suit

Out of all of Minecraft’s various mobs, the enderman tends to be one of the most mysterious. Although becoming an enderman is a bit more difficult than equipping a skin, this skin certainly meets a nice middle ground. Sadly, it won’t fool any endermen into not attacking, so players will need to watch where they look.

Furthermore, this skin should look particularly nice in the End or in an End-themed build, if nothing else.

9) Sully Suit

It’s no secret that audiences of all ages can enjoy a quality Disney and/or Pixar movie from time to time, and Monsters Inc. is a classic to many. This skin takes on the appearance of a girl wearing a suit resembling Sully, one of the movie’s main characters. The big guy is pretty lovable, and hopefully, this skin makes players wearing it just as popular.

Otherwise, this skin may also fit nicely in one of the many Disney/Pixar-themed DLCs that Mojang has released in recent memory.

8) Polar Bear Girl

Polar bears often populate Minecraft’s chilliest biomes, and players can blend in quite well with them when this skin is equipped. Granted, this won’t change the mobs’ behaviors in any way, but the skin certainly does fit perfectly with a winter wonderland.

Anywhere a Minecraft player can find snow, they can equip this skin and feel a little bit more like part of the environment.

7) Nezuko Kamado

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has been a huge hit among audiences of all ages, and it’s tough not to appreciate Nezuko Kamado. The demonic sibling of the protagonist Tanjiro Kamado, Nezuko is equal parts adorable and deadly in some circumstances.

Thanks to this skin, Minecraft players can take on Nezuko’s appearance and head out into the world. There are even entire Demon Slayer-themed mods and multiplayer servers that this appearance would fit perfectly in.

6) Hatsune Miku

The virtual idol that took the world by storm, Hatsune Miku’s image and music has become a huge hit, including with younger audiences. This skin perfectly captures her black/aqua color scheme perfectly and does a great job with her outfit’s detailing as well. For any fans of Hatsune Miku, this Minecraft skin makes it clear where a player’s fandom lies.

5) Yoshi

Arguably one of Nintendo’s most beloved characters of all time, Yoshi got his start in Super Mario World and has become arguably more popular than the Mario Brothers themselves. Since Mojang has already introduced Super Mario crossover DLCs in the past, why not take on the appearance of this beloved dinosaur and dive in?

This Minecraft skin comes with a very excited expression on Yoshi’s face and even his trusted saddle on his back.

4) Steve Holding Kirby

Ever since his debut courtesy of HAL Laboratory and Nintendo, gamers have grown to love Kirby. The little pink star certainly makes his rounds across multiple forms of media, and now it appears as though Minecraft fans have created a skin for him as well.

Since Kirby isn’t the tallest character, this skin utilizes a short version of Steve to hold him up. Is it a strange Minecraft skin, particularly when it animates? Certainly, but having Kirby along for the ride is a plus.

3) Spongegar

One particular episode of Spongebob Squarepants saw the titular character traveling through time, where he met the futuristic and past counterparts of himself and his friends.

This resulted in Spongegar, a caveman-esque version of Spongebob whose confused appearance became a meme unto itself. Now, fans can relive this goofy meme aesthetic in Minecraft courtesy of this well-made skin.

2) Link (Tears of the Kingdom)

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom shares quite a few similarities with Minecraft, particularly the ability to build different structures and machines. Since the Legend of Zelda series is so incredibly popular with gamers of all ages, it’s only natural for its protagonist Link to have plenty of skins available to use in the world’s most popular sandbox game.

This Minecraft skin in particular takes on the appearance of Link as one of his costumes appears in Tears of the Kingdom. Sadly, this skin doesn’t come with all of Link’s great fantasy gadgets or the Master Sword, but that’s nothing a few RPG mods can’t fix.

1) Spider-Man (Miles Morales)

Miles Morales is the Spider-Man of Earth-1610 in the Marvel Comics multiverse, debuting in 2011 thanks to the work of Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli. Since then, Miles has become one of the most beloved Marvel characters in recent memory in large part to the two Spider-Verse animated films he stars in.

This skin may not give Minecraft players the powers of web-slinging or bio-electric venom, but it does capture Miles’ modern Ultimate Spider-Man costume almost perfectly.
