#1 Thanos

Let’s start off our list with a big purple supervillain that you’ve probably seen in more memes than movies. Now, don’t get me wrong, Thanos in Minecraft doesn’t look as intimidating as he does in the Avengers series.

Nonetheless, this is still a pretty badass skin if we do say so ourselves, which is why it deserves a place on our list. After all, we chose the top 20 Minecraft skins very wisely. Prefer to play as a superhero rather than a giant grape? Then keep on scrolling!

#2 Iron Man

What better way to follow a Thanos skin than with an Iron Man skin for Minecraft? This fictional superhero played by Robert Downey Jr. is one of the most popular Marvel comic characters to-date. So why not download the Iron Man skin and zoom around in your favorite Minecraft server wearing his iconic red and gold armor.

Since it’s Minecraft, you won’t be able to see his sweet repulsors, but we like to pretend they are there as we fly around in creative mode. At least, I do…

#3 Deadpool

Rather play as everyone’s favorite filthy-mouthed fictional Marvel character? The Deadpool Minecraft skin may just be for you. My favorite thing to do using this skin is to grab two diamond swords and pretend they are his dual katanas as I whack anything and everything. Bad Deadpool? Good Deadpool!

If you prefer to play as someone from a galaxy far, far away, the next Minecraft skin may be preferable. 

#4 Chewbacca

I can’t think of anything better than playing Minecraft as a lovable but fierce giant Wookie from Star Wars. So why not invite your friends and explore the world of Minecraft using this Chewbacca Minecraft skin? You could even find someone who can speak Shyriiwook to join you on your adventure.

That’s right, there’s even a Han Solo Minecraft skin available to download right now. 

#5 Jabba the Hutt

Prefer to play the role of someone less friendly? More specifically, how about an extremely powerful slug-like gangster? Then we’ve got you covered. Although the Jabba the Hutt Minecraft skin doesn’t do the character justice since Minecraft characters are either “classic” or “slim”.

The colors used in the skin allow you to blend in with the trees during hide-and-seek games in Minecraft. 

#6 Link

Rather play as one of the most iconic characters in video game history? The Link skin for Minecraft is a skin that takes us on a nostalgia trip as we attempt to survive our first night in Minecraft. Carrying his classic blue and silver Hylian Shield on his back, Link is an easily recognizable character that we simply admire.

Of course, we couldn’t put Link on our list without including the stunning Princess of Hyrule.

#7 Princess Zelda

First appearing in The Legend of Zelda, Princess Zelda is a graceful, classy and well-dressed character that appears in most of the Zelda games. Which is why the skin works so well in Minecraft. Once you download and apply the skin, you’ll be one of the best looking characters in the server.

Even in the Minecraft skin, you can clearly see her fancy jewelry and drop-dead gorgeous pink-and-white outfit. 

#8 Ash Ketchum

Catch them all in your favorite Pixelmon servers with the Ash Ketchum skin for Minecraft. This iconic anime protagonist will instantly be recognized once you enter and attempt to catch over 200 live Pokémon using your Poké Balls. Once you’re tired of playing as a human, there’s even an iconic Pikachu and Snorlax skin available to download.

Like Jabba, the Snorlax skin won’t appear as cute and cuddly in Minecraft. Nevertheless, it’s still very charming. 

#9 Ryu

If you’re a fan of the classic Street Fighter series, like us, you’re going to appreciate this Minecraft Ryu skin. Sporting his classic red gloves paired with his red bandana, this is a skin I certainly had to download the second I laid my eyes on it. You won’t be able to Hadouken your way through creepers and skeletons, though you will be able to slay them using dual diamond swords.

How awesome does that sound? 

#10 Tracer

Maybe I’ll be Tracer? Is what you should definitely be asking yourself when looking for a Minecraft skin. Tracer is one of the most popular (and memed) Damage heroes in Overwatch. She’s also said to be the fastest character in the game which makes sprinting in Minecraft even more enjoyable. Whee! Sadly, you won’t be able to use her two pistols in Minecraft.

Albeit, you will look wicked using her as you mine for gold and diamonds. 

#11 Knuckles

As with the other video game Minecraft skins on our list, only a fool wouldn’t know who Knuckles is. No, we’re not talking about those things on your hands. We’re talking about the red echidna found in Sonic the Hedgehog. Okay, everyone knows who he is, which is why we absolutely love using him in Minecraft.

With the skin applied, I feel super strong as I mine for raw materials necessary for survival.

#12 Bob the Builder

Can he fix it? Yes, he can! Why not take a trip down memory lane by downloading and applying the Bob the Builder Minecraft skin? As building is a massive part of Minecraft, Bob is a fitting TV character that you should use immediately. There’s nothing funnier than seeing someone attempt to kill off some spiders at night using the Bob the Builder skin.

Which is why we think it deserves a spot on our Minecraft skin list. 

#13 Finn the Human

Minecraft is an adventure, so why not grab your friends and apply some Adventure Time skins? Right now, we’re loving the Finn the Human skin for Minecraft. I mean, come on, you’d be lying if you didn’t say it looks absolutely adorable! There’s even a sweet Jake the Dog skin that you or your friend could download and use.

Now, you won’t be able to make bacon pancakes in Minecraft, but you will be able to destroy some creepers as Jake and Finn. 

#14 Homer Simpson

Still can’t see a skin you like? Doh! Maybe this one will intrigue you? The Homer Simpson Minecraft skin is one of the most vivid and identifiable skins in the game. As you attempt to survive by destroying every cow and chicken in the game, you can pretend you’re eating those delicious pink donuts. Mmm…donuts! Or you could even ride a pig while singing “spider pig” at the top of your lungs.

I’m sure your roommates would love you for that!

#15 Elsa

Enter an Ice Plain biome by dressing up as everyone’s favorite Frozen character, Elsa. Why not even let it go and let loose in creative mode by building the perfect ice castle for you and your friends to relax in? More specifically, you’ll be able to enjoy it for about 10 seconds before they destroy it with TNT.

At least you’ll die dressed as your beloved Disney princess. 

#16 Derp Patrick

Is this the Krusty Krab? No, this is Patrick! Actually, this is Derp Patrick coming to destroy the house you spent an entire day on. Even though this skin doesn’t take the shape of Patrick Star, everyone will surely notice who it is owing to his pink skin and floral green and purple shorts.

As Patrick is already a fairly derpy character with a brain like a fish, the derpy Patrick skin for Minecraft is very amusing to use.

#17 Pennywise the Clown

Why not pop on this Pennywise Minecraft skin and scare the living crap out of every 12-year-old in the server? Contrasting Derp Patrick, Pennywise is an evil clown who feeds off human fear. Or, more specifically, the fear or children. Tasty, tasty beautiful fear! As to be expected, this Minecraft skin isn’t as scary as Tim Curry or Bill Skarsgård. Though I’m pretty sure you’d scare off some folks trying to play a peaceful game at night.

You could even get your friends to download the Georgie skin and chase them around the map like a mad-man. Time to float!

#18 Pug

Okay, enough creepy clowns, time for some cute animals! More specifically, an adorable Pug Minecraft skin. You’ll be every man’s best friend in Minecraft using this precious skin. But don’t be mistaken, zombies will still want to eat your brains and spiders will still attempt to murder you.

Oh well, at least you’ll die using one of the best skins in Minecraft. 

#19 Doge

What’s better than a normal dog? Doge! The Doge Minecraft skin brings the classic doge meme to life as you play in survival or creative mode. It’s a skin that everyone will instantly recognize, which is why we enjoy using it so much when playing online. Wow, many skins, much beautiful, very Minecraft.

Alright, enough with the memes, let’s end this list with one more wonderful Minecraft skin that you’ll definitely be saying “wow” to.

#20 Burger

We simply couldn’t end our list without including a food skin, so we decided to go with a classic Minecraft Burger. It’s really as simple as it sounds: a classic hamburger skin for Minecraft that features cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and a face (which totally isn’t creepy at all). I mean, really, what monster decided to give a burger a face?

Regardless, it’s still one of our favorite skins to use in Minecraft due to how silly and playful it is.
