Troubleshooting
Skin Not Updating:

• Ensure that the player’s name is correct, as the plugin fetches the skin based on the player’s username.
• If you are using a custom skin hosting service, make sure the URL is valid.
• Check if there are any issues with the server's connection to external APIs.

Errors During Skin Restoration:

• Make sure your server has a working internet connection to fetch skins from external APIs (like minetool.org).
• If an error occurs, the plugin will log it in the server console. Check the logs for details.
