Like many open world games, Minecraft offers a way for players to become whoever they want to be in a world of their own design.
What many games don’t have is a hugely accessible set of out-of-game tools and a community that takes the already stellar content to the next level.
Builds and mods made by the Minecraft community are impressive in both quantity and quality.
Entire worlds can be built, downloaded, or simply joined through multiplayer.
So why not rule one yourself?
Of course, you’ll probably want a skin that properly conveys your new royal status. Given the popularity of medieval fantasies, it’s no surprise that a range of royalty-themed skins exist to fit the needs of anyone and everyone.
And as nice as it is to have options, too many can certainly get overwhelming.
Fortunately this list can help you find the perfect prince (or princess) skin to fit your monarchy’s needs.
The skin’s angsty undertone makes it perfect for anything, from a coolness factor in casual everyday use to dark lore potential in serious roleplay servers.
While the monochrome look might not be for everyone, it serves to really bring out the slightly tinted bangs – and makes for an appearance that’s refined and mysterious, if a little plain.
Cute but regal, this skin is undoubtedly charming.
It may not be bold or imposing, but it’s definitely not any worse for it. It has a very sweet, almost innocent appearance.
Of course, not all royals seek to inspire fear or awe in their subjects.
Some prefer to be approachable, even friendly.
If that’s the vibe you’re going for, this is the skin for you.
Featuring a simple white tunic beneath a classic red and gold jacket, the quality of the skin leaves very little to be desired. While there are more sophisticated ones out there, this one does its job and does it well.
Not everyone who wants to rule a kingdom wants to do it as a human.
Fortunately, that’s not a problem in Minecraft.
This delightfully fluffy skin will surely inspire loyalty in even the most reluctant and cold-hearted subjects. Who wouldn’t fall in love with that fluffy face?
If the persuasive power of this skin isn’t enough to convince you, it’s also well shaded and makes good use of the layer options available.
The Legend of Zelda series doesn’t offer many opportunities to actually play as Zelda.
So if you’ve ever wanted to try your hand at being the princess of Hyrule, now’s your chance.
This impressive recreation of Zelda’s design from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is something any fan of Zelda could wear with pride.
The creator of this skin clearly paid close attention to detail, incorporating the unique hairstyle and dress design of the original game near flawlessly.
She even has her elven ears!
Even if it’s not Hyrule you’re looking to lead, this Zelda skin is absolutely worth considering in your royal endeavors.
The crown itself is gold with purple velvet underneath.
Fun history fact: crowns with fabric in them were worn to keep the monarch’s head warm. As of right now, there’s no penalty for cold temperatures in Minecraft, so all the purple fabric does is make you look extra regal.
Of course, if your kingdom is set up in a chilly tundra biome this skin might be just the thing to add a little extra immersion.
As for the rest of the skin, the navy blue and gold outfit is extremely well crafted. And the creator wasn’t slacking on the face or hair either.
When it comes to generic prince skins, this one is a solid ten out of ten.
