Skin Packs

Skin Pack 1

"Customize your character with this selection of stunning skins!"
— Marketplace Description[2]

Skin Pack 1, also named Classic Skin Pack 1 on PlayStation consoles, and Skin Pack 1 - Classic on Bedrock Edition, was the first Skin Pack released for Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition releasing on July 16, 2012.[3] This Skin Pack coincided with the Title Update 3 for the Xbox 360 edition, making use of the then newly added Character Skin Selector.[4] The Skin Pack contains various skins, such as some unique skins, a few based on Minecraft itself, and the majority based on various games, such as characters from Fable, Gears of War, Banjo-Kazooie, and most notably three Halo themed skins.[5]

When Skin Pack 1 was originally released on PlayStation (PlayStation 3, and shortly after eventually PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita) on March 27, 2014, on the PlayStation specific version of the Skin Pack all licensed Skins tied to Xbox where replaced with skins themed around PlayStation franchises.[6] The Skin Pack with the skins untouched was later made available for Nintendo Wii U and Nintendo Switch on January 30, 2018.[7] Eventually PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Vita finally got the original pack on March 27, 2018.[8]

2nd Birthday

"Minecraft is growing up, time to celebrate together our 2nd Birthday!"
— Marketplace Description[12]

The 2nd Birthday Skin Pack, often shortened 2nd Birthday, also named the The Minecraft 2nd Birthday pack, released for a limited time from May 9 to May 18 2014.[13] This Skin Pack contained various skins, from Dust an Elysian Tale, Rare titles, Lionhead games, and three Halo themed skins.[14] When the Skin Pack reached PlayStation, the licensed skins were removed in favour of PlayStation skins.[15]

When the Better Together update released for Minecraft, this Skin Pack was among those that couldn't be transferred due to licensing restrictions, meaning you had to get the skin pack when it is made available on that version.[16]
