Playground

Every control below is one of the 53 parameters from the reference, with the same names, ranges and defaults. Pick a player, drag a slider, and copy the URL. Only parameters that differ from their default end up in it.

The playground needs JavaScript to build URLs and show the live preview. Without it, the documentation has every parameter and working example URLs, and the parameter reference lists the same names, ranges and defaults the playground uses.

Tips

Type any username, UUID or 64-character texture hash in the identifier box. steve and alex never need a Mojang lookup.
The frame slider appears for the walk, run, wave, dance poses. Turn fit off before rendering animation frames so the camera stays still.
The preview fetches the real API, so the millisecond figure under it is the true render time from the X-Render-Ms header.
Unknown parameters are never generated here, but if you hand-edit a URL and mistype one, the X-Ignored-Params header names it.
