The easiest way to confirm, that a user is under NDA is by checking whether they are on Mojang Slack.

  • Subscribe to Team Plan (other plans don’t have the SkinPacker)
  • Join our Discord Server
  • DM an admin, that you want a to confirm being under NDA (be sure to include your name on Mojang Slack)
  • After receiving contact info, send them your email address you used to login into the MCDevKit site through Mojang Slack
