A New and More Stable Skin Filter

So the skin Filter has been losing alot of skins that used to work but don’t because of Mojang updating DLC skins which makes them Not work

Hello There! So recently I’ve been making a Skin Filter idea for the hive which i really like by a lot of means and i bet a bunch of People that enjoy skins by mojang or those who cant use most of the skins that they used to always play as on the Legacy Editions of minecraft.

This Idea could be the final change for the skin filter because it will make it more easier for the developers to Exempt more Recent DLC skins, or Exempt skins that still have an exemption but is blocked because of skin updates by Mojang, let me explain

So you know that Share button on the Marketplace? Like this for example
20230708_130335

Without that feature, this idea wont be useful very much, heres why

So with the links the Skin Filter will always guarantee an exemption for the Whitelisted skins forever even when the skins get updated, heres the code for example

{ Whitelisted
(Any Marketplace DLC link like the spongebob DLC link)
Fred
Spongebob
Mr Krabs
Squidward
Cyclops
etc }
{ Blacklist
(Any Marketplace DLC link that includes a Unfair advantage Skin like the star wars classic skin pack DLC link)
Yoda
Jawa
R2-D2
Wicket W. Warrick }
And what about Automatic skin Filter? Well it could stay the same or it can get a few small changes
And what about the old Skin Filter method that guarantees an exemption? Well it can also stay because it is able to allow delisted DLC skins like the 2nd birthday skin pack Wither skin, or skins that are exclusive to various consoles like the Littlebigplanet Skins which is exclusive to PS4 and PS5, tha Super mario DLC which is basically exclusive to Nintendo, or maybe the System can find a way to bypass it and allow the skins without the old method, because the Littlebigplanet and the Mario skins are the most updated skins on minecraft Bedrock according to my calculations, and that would make it so that the skin Filter would mess up and Block the skins
And now you may have seen alot of skins that are just the default skin legs, or skins that use too few pixels, and that gives an unfair advantage, the new Skin Filter could block skins with little amount of Pixels more often.
And thats that, thanks for Reading this idea, it would be easier for devs to allow skins and that’s the aim of this idea, Let me know what you think about it in the comments! :beedance:

I like the idea of improving it to deny for example skins with zombie arms but many dlc skins like the Mr Crabs or squidward skins are way too big.
Also they would have to manually blacklist/whitelist the marketplace skin packs which would take some effort to do.
The wither skin is allowed rn because it isn’t so big and it keeps the geometry bones inside the default skin geometry spaces (8×32×16).
