Where are skins stored?

Uploaded skins are stored locally by your Minecraft server. Other players' skins stay in memory for the current connection and are cleared when you disconnect.

Skins you save yourself remain in your game instance's dynamicskins/library/ folder. Downloaded skins are not saved to your library or a disk cache.
