Notch skin appear black
Since the fixes MC-89760 and MC-82464 the compatibility with old non-transparent skin are broken.
See the jomo 's image from skin pattern (see above linked image):
The top right pink transparency detection square exist for compatibility reason (with non-transparent skin, like Notch skin, and only with 64x32 pixels skins). All others detections square can be remove.
See MC-89760 for more explanation about this bug.
Possibles solutions:
- Apply the transparency detection only on 64x32 pixels skins
- Apply the transparency detection only on the top-right 32x32 detection zone
- Revert the
MC-89760/MC-82464fix
The MC-89760 and MC-82464 fixes create more problems and impact more users than the original reported bug.

64x32 not showing second layer if the entire area is colored is intended, as it's the fix of MC-101150; any issues with 64x64 skins not showing the second layer are a valid issue.
That said, case 4 is the only valid case, please reduce your report to just that.



I don't think any of the fixes you provided will be applied, it limits players from what they can do with their skin.
It's the skin owner's responsibility to make compatible skins, transparency and all.
If it's going to be fixed, then the first fix would be the best in my opinion.
ProfMobius (Thomas Guimbretiere) How exactly did you fix this issue without undoing the other 2?
ProfMobius (Thomas Guimbretiere) In my opinion the better solution is to apply the transparency detector only on 32x64px skin, and disable it on new 64x64px skins.
This don't break backward compatibility and that solve the problem on 64x64 new skin format (the original reported bug).
In all case, I think breaking thousands skins actually in use by player is a worst solution that have a bug only on new skin. There are thunsands of old skins (without transparency) on skins websites, and players continue today to use theses old skins :S
