The Cutest Blacksmith-style Skins In 2023
It’s a widely held belief that blacksmiths are incredibly fascinating. Who wouldn’t find the act of transforming raw ore into molten metal and crafting weapons in front of a blazing forge awe-inspiring? Even if one doesn’t appreciate the laborious process or the intense heat involved, the medieval blacksmith’s appearance is undeniably cool. You can even recreate this look with Minecraft skins.
1. The Smith
I wouldn’t say that there’s an indisputable blacksmith skin, but for me, the one created by Demicha comes very close to being THE quintessential blacksmith skin. It checks off all the necessary boxes for a typical blacksmith, with the work apron, rugged appearance, and sooty color scheme. The beard on the character in the skin even adds to the blacksmith aesthetic. Just looking at this skin makes me want to construct my own forge and begin crafting and selling diamond and netherite tools.

2. Bearded Dwarf Blacksmith
Perhaps it’s because both dwarves and blacksmiths usually work with mining that I associate them together. It could also be because they often have impressive beards. Whatever the reason, in my mind, dwarves and blacksmiths are closely linked, and creator Ash seems to feel the same way. The skin called “Dwarf Red Beard” is both amusingly named and amusingly depicted, with its long hair and impressive beard. There’s something grand about a dwarf with a massive beard, and making it red only adds to the appeal. I’m completely sold on it.

3. Brown Burlap Design
Although blacksmiths are commonly associated with medieval and fantasy themes, they don’t necessarily have to be restricted to those genres. At times, one may desire a more contemporary and sophisticated blacksmith look. Now, I’m not implying that I have knowledge of what modern blacksmiths wear or how they appear, but the blacksmith skin created by AcousticGuitars gives off a trendy and modern vibe with its dark apron and rolled burlap brown sleeves. In comparison, it feels more modern than a dwarf with a braided beard.

4. Mutton Chops Blacksmith
To be honest, I’m not entirely sure what specifically draws me to this skin. Okay, that’s a fib. I can easily pinpoint it—it’s the mutton chops. Mutton chops are an underrated and underused facial hair style, and I believe it’s a travesty. The chops take this skin from being just a standard blacksmith to a legendary smith. Even if we remove the exaggeration, it’s hard to deny that the mutton chops make this character appear highly skilled and capable.

5. Bald and Bearded (Medieval Blacksmith)
I don’t believe that blacksmiths are identified with a specific hairstyle. However, a beard conveys a sense of confidence and capability that makes me think they can craft exceptional armor. Creator Capace’s skin adeptly encapsulates all the crucial qualities of a blacksmith: tough, rugged, and likely to enjoy wielding a hammer. I can easily envision myself in a village smithy with this skin, producing top-quality iron tools for my fellow Realm members.

6. Goblin Smith
In my mind, the Medieval and Fantasy genres are nearly inseparable. While I understand that the Medieval era was a factual historical period, I primarily associate it with dragons, wizards, and the sporadic goblin. Creator R0CCAT’s goblin smith skin is fantastic for several reasons. It satisfies my longing for a high fantasy blacksmith character, which I’m frequently seeking.

7. Dwarven Forgemistress
It’s refreshing to see a female presence in the blacksmithing community. All too often, blacksmiths are associated with brawny men sporting copious amounts of facial hair and swinging hefty hammers. The fact that this Forgemistress is Dwarven implies that, despite not being male, she’s still capable of crafting sturdy armor and wielding powerful hammers with great strength. However, she has noticeably less facial hair than her male counterparts.

8. Weapons Apprentice Blacksmith
The concept of medieval blacksmiths often incorporates a fantasy element, resulting in a role-playing aspect to these blacksmith skins. Personally, I’m a fan of creator G4L4P4G0S’s Weapons Apprentice skin, as well as any other original character content created by Minecraft creators. I strongly suggest reading the backstory of Brigitte, the blacksmith portrayed in the skin, for an extra layer of fascinating smithing content.

9. Viking Smith
Skins have come a long way since the early days of Minecraft. With the latest patches, skins can resemble those from completely different games, complete with mesmerizing 3-D illusions. However, I believe that nothing can compare to skins like the Viking Smith from the original Minecraft era. The 2-D chunkiness and simplistic, square details are what make Minecraft so distinctive even to this day.

10. Villager Blacksmith
When exploring villages in Minecraft, stumbling upon a village smithy is a common occurrence. With some luck, you might even find a villager smith inside, willing to trade with you. But why not take matters into your own hands and become the villager smith yourself? Playing as a Minecraft NPC is always a fun experience, and this skin perfectly captures the essence of a village smith, complete with a brown apron and a quizzical expression on the face.
