Another possible solution is to verify the skin's legitimacy on first load, then cache it locally on the client, which would also help with the significantly increased bandwidth consumption in the Spawn Player (0x0C) packet caused by the skin data being resent EVERY time a player comes into view, not just when they first join.
Actually, Anthony, as it is now, the vanilla server caches it from /hasJoined and resends the SAME (guaranteed by the client) data every time that the player object is spawned. This includes traveling out of view and traveling to other dimensions. Skins changes are not in realtime.

I can confirm that it's fixed from my end. Thanks!
