Minecraft is still one of the greatest games in the world more than a decade after its launch. At the same time, the justices of the United States Supreme Court all over the news lately. It’s a no-brainer: let’s put these judges in place Minecraft!

It’s never been easier to add funny avatars of friends, family members or the ultimate lifelong judges of American law Minecraft. And after that, you can have all sorts of fun with them, from adventuring to mining for precious gems. I mean, you really can do whatever you want, even things like, I don’t know, slash them open with swords, impale them on tridents, shoot them with arrows, or bury them in a deep, dark hole for as long as you like . Aren’t video games great?

Either way, the first thing you need to do is find or create your skins. That’s where The skin index enter the game. As the name suggests, The Skindex is a huge collection of Minecraft Skins uploaded by the game’s community. Not only that, but the site also offers an online editor that allows you to create a skin from scratch or modify a skin that already exists in the archives.

I’m not very artistic, so I was glad that The Skindex already comes with several Supreme Court-style skins. There is one modeled after Chief Justice John Robertsit could just as easily be Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh, for example generic skins by male and female judges resembling Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett. I couldn’t find a deputy for Clarence Thomas, the court’s lone African-American judge, but that’s nothing a simple edit can’t fix.

Once you’ve sorted out the skins, you can add them Minecraft varies depending on which version you are using. Java edition has a tab in the windows launcher that allows you to upload the required png file while doing the same in Bedrock edition and pocket edition requires starting the game and visiting the “Dressing Room” in the main menu. And if you share these tips with your friends, you can all get together and run your own mock experiments.

Make the judges NPCs in yours Minecraft World, on the other hand, requires a bit more work. I would suggest a visit Nova skin, another custom skin repository containing player-made mob themes to create or download suitable replacements for the game’s creepers, zombies, and skeletons. I won’t go through all the steps here because it’s a lot more complicated, but you should then have everything you need Create your own custom resource pack.

A big part of MinecraftThe popularity of stems from the way it gives players the freedom to build their ideal worlds. I can’t understand why anyone would want to get close to a United States Supreme Court Justice, but those of you out there with that oddly specific fantasy can now make it happen through the magic of Minecraft. Have fun!
