I know many of you would rather explore new worlds and build megastructures in Minecraft than grind for Primogems in MiHoYo’s world-famous gacha… but you also don’t want to say goodbye to your favorite Genshin characters. A great way to bridge the gap is to bring Genshin play skins into Minecraft. I mean really: do we want cute anime characters, or Steve?
1. Xiangling
Check Out This Skin The Chef de Cuisine of Liyue’s famous Wanmin Restaurant is a Pyro Vision beast who uses her god-given heat to create delicious dishes and roast hilichurls to a crisp. Her weapon of choice is a polearm, which makes sense for someone who needs to chop and skewer large slabs of meat regularly. It also gives her extra range in combat, compensating for her modest height. Xiangling’s motivation as an adventurer is finding exotic ingredients to innovate and push Liyue cookery forward. I hope she likes golden apples and spider eyes!
2. Klee
Check Out This Skin Another Pyro Vision heroine that can’t be missing from your Minecraft skin wardrobe is Klee, a chaotic elvish girl who’ll remind you why we don’t give children pyrotechnics. On paper, the Knights of Favonius take care of Klee while her mother is out on epic adventures. In reality, they spend more time keeping Mondstadt safe from her explosives than looking after her. This is the perfect skin for any Minecraft player who always carries a lighter and some TNT blocks in case they want to play a “practical joke” on someone online.
3. Hilichurl
Check Out This Skin You couldn’t have any of the flashier aspects of Genshin Impact without the humble Hilichurl giving you reasons to pick up your blade in the first place. These primitive nomadic tribes spend most of their time showing off their rad dance skills around the bonfire – until an adventurer walks by and all hell breaks loose. From their ominous masks and elaborate ritual constructions, it’s evident the hilichurls have a rich culture that could even develop into a civilization in the future… if they weren’t constantly wiped out by adventurers. Maybe they’ll have better luck in Minecraft?
4. Yanfei
Check Out This Skin I’ve always had a thing for smug anime girls with substance to back up their attitude. Yanfei was love at first sight. She descends from a Xiezhi, a beast from Chinese myth associated with law and justice. Following her natural predispositions, this half-Adeptus became one of the most respected legal advisers in all of Liyue. This might make her sound a little intense, but her demeanor is positively endearing.
5. Beidou
Check Out This Skin If you can’t wait to set out on a boat when you find a body of water, well then check out this Beidou skin. Beidou is a badass pirate captain whose sailing expertise is only matched by her skill with a giant sword and her gorgeous looks. This Electro-powered captain has a prominent big sister aura. Get this skin if you’re protective over new players and like to lead friends on epic adventures.
6. Albedo
Check Out This Skin Created as a part of the Primordial Human Project, Albedo is a synthetic human with superior intelligence and a deep desire to unearth the greatest secrets of Teyvat. Albedo wasn’t even phased upon receiving his Geo Vision. To him, it was simply a new tool with which to carry out his research and peer further into the unknown. The man has a one-track mind, that’s for sure. The Knights of Favonius couldn’t ask for a more ideal Chief Alchemist, and you couldn’t ask for a better skin if you fancy yourself an intellectual.
7. Barbara
Check Out This Skin Modern religious organizations could learn a lot from the Church of Favonius when it comes to preaching effectively and keeping worshippers happy. Rather than sticking to old men in robes, they could try bright and bubbly idols like Barbara Gunnhildr – the deaconess of the Church of Favonius. She’s a symbol of the spirit of freedom that glues together the people of Mondstadt – and the Church couldn’t be doing better. Barbara wields her Hydro vision to great effect as a healer. And she’s considered a must-have for several boss fights.
8. Jean
Check Out This Skin If you’re not into the idol hype, there’s another Gunnhildr woman that might catch your attention. I’m talking about Jean – the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius and the most beautiful Anemo Vision gal in the game. Jean is devoted to her duties. And the strict standards she sets for herself are evident in everything she does. Download this skin you want to become the put-together type who has everything under control. Fake it ’til you make it!
9. Eula Lawrence
Check Out This Skin Yet another famous fencer hailing from Mondstadt is Eula – the Spindrift Knight. As a member of a disgraced aristocratic family, Eula isn’t very well-liked among the general Mondstadt population. That’s probably why she became Captain of the Reconnaissance Company of the Knights of Favonius, which allows her to spend most of her time away on missions putting her Cryo vision to good use. Are you a lone wolf with a warrior’s heart? Then give this Eula skin a try.
10. Xingqiu
Check Out This Skin Xingqiu is a big favorite of Onee-sans all around the world. The little brother aesthetic is strong in this one. He’s polite and studious but has a boyish adventurous spark that makes him adorable for anyone with a well-developed maternal instinct. Reading has a way of influencing how you think, and in the case of Xingqiu, it has made him noble and chivalrous – and also a bit eccentric. He’s an ally of justice and a bit of a prankster. Chaotic Good Minecraft players should have no problem vibin’ with this skin.
11. Arataki Itto
Check Out This Skin Minecraft is a very versatile game. And everyone has a different way to enjoy it. While some people like collecting materials to build epic structures that’ll stand the test of time, others prefer mining just enough to make a couple weapons and maybe some armor before setting off on a conquering campaign. You’ll vibe with this Arataki Itto skin if you’re that kind of player. Itto is a Geo badass with the blood of demons coursing through his veins. Use this skin to channel your inner power and show those mobs who’s boss.
12. Yoimiya
Check Out This Skin Put together a piece of paper, dyes, and some gunpowder, and you’ll craft beautiful fireworks to adorn your Minecraft nights. If you’re up to planning a pyrotechnics show for your friends on the server, there’s nothing more appropriate than a Yoimiya skin to keep you focused on your task. This Pyro archer is the owner of Naganohara Fireworks in Inazuma, and her expertise crafting these combusting works of art is unparalleled.
13. Kaeya
Check Out This Skin Kaeya is the adventurous type that would thrive in Minecraft’s procedurally-generated wilds. This Cryo hunk has a seasoned pirate’s swagger and fighting skill but the righteous heart of a Knight of Favonius. He’s well-known by the people of Mondstadt for his uncanny ability to solve mysteries and fix problems – two valuable traits to have in any Minecraft server.
14. Thoma
Check Out This Skin Some people just know how to get things done. Thoma is precisely that kind of person. It might not be pretty – it might not even be legal – but you know that if you give this “fixer” a task, it’ll be dealt with without a doubt. Well known for his amiable nature and absolute loyalty to his friends and the Kamisato Clan, this Pyro warrior is the kind of ally you want in any endeavor that requires hard work and clever ideas. Are you the “fixer” in your Minecraft server? Show it with this awesome skin.
15. Tartaglia
Check Out This Skin There are many different ways in which loyalty manifests itself – and who you’re loyal to can make all the difference. Much like Thoma, Tartaglia is ready to give everything for the people he cares about. Regrettably, the person he’s most loyal to is the Tsaritsa, who’s currently waging war against the Archons. Tartaglia’s Cryo vision represents his devotion to the Cryo Archon and his ability to keep a cold head as he mingles with the enemy and plots his next move. This is perfect for anyone who can’t help but wonder whether they’re actually the baddie in any particular situation.
16. Ganyu
Check Out This Skin Ganyu has sat on the Liyue Qixing’s secretary desk for a long time. In fact, this immortal Adeptus has been on the administrative grind for around 2000 years – and it’s starting to wear her down. She’s sleepy, forgetful, and can’t tell one day from another by this point. So a season in Minecraft getting her hands full of dirt and exploring the depths in search of diamonds might be what she needs for a change of pace. Her gentle and soothing nature – reflected by her Cryo Vision – is something any Minecraft community would profit from.
17. Kaedehara Kazuha
Check Out This Skin Surviving in Minecraft takes many different skills, and few archetypes would be better prepared for it than the wandering Samurai. After all, a Samurai must know how to hunt and cook, set up camp, take care of his blades, treat minor injuries, etc. Kazuha is the epitome of the wandering Samurai. He’s a poetic soul that travels the land taking in the sights and jumping at any opportunity to serve a good cause. His Anemo Vision reflects his free-spirited nature and inability to stay put. Get this skin if you favor a nomadic approach when playing Minecraft.
18. Qiqi
Check Out This Skin Minecraft is a surprisingly dangerous place for the easily distracted. You can fall into a gorge, dig straight down into a pool of lava, or bump into a Creeper around a corner at any moment, ending your current lifespan. Luckily for us, everyone in Minecraft is basically a zombie. What’s respawning if not rising from the dead? If you want to lean into your secret zombie nature, a Qiqi skin is a subtle and adorable way to do it. This tiny Cryo lady is the cutest undead I’ve seen in my life.
19. Yun Jin
Check Out This Skin Are you the artistic member of your Minecraft clique? Do you spend your weekends balancing your different art projects and gaming? Then you have a lot in common with Genshin Impact’s Yun Jin. This Geo character is dangerous with a polearm, but her fighting skills are second to her gifts as an entertainer. Yun Jin can dance, sing, write stage plays, and she brews some of the best tea in Liyue.
20. Xiao
Check Out This Skin Enemies in Minecraft can easily spook the unprepared. Instead of waiting around for a Creeper to pop out of nowhere, you should craft yourself some weapons and armor and take the fight to your enemies, laying down torches as you go to keep them from spawning in the first place. If that sounds like your playstyle, consider a Xiao skin to show everyone how much of a monster-hunting bad-ass you are. Xiao has been tearing demons apart for thousands of years, and not even the Ender Dragon should feel safe around this Anemo-powered warrior.
21. Raiden Shogun
Check Out This Skin Here’s another mighty warrior with high levels of badassery: the Raiden Shogun, the ruler of Inazuma and vessel of the Electro Archon. Standing at the apex of the Inazuma Shogunate, the Raiden Shogun represents the full power of divine thunder, projecting a strong and almost unfeeling front that keeps the citizenry in line. This is easier because the Raiden Shogun we see most of the game is a puppet controlled by the real Raiden. In other words, she’s Genshin Impact’s version of Terminator. This skin will tell other players you mean business. Especially if you get yourself an enchanted sword to go with it.
22. Venti
Check Out This Skin Venti is a free-spirited bard who loves drinking wine and playing tunes on his harp. If you’re a similarly laid-back and pleasure-driven person, a Venti skin might be the thing you need to carry happiness and chill to every nook and cranny of your favorite Minecraft server. Venti is also the mortal vessel of Barbatos – the Anemo Archon. In other words, he’s packing significant firepower. It’s not that you don’t like PvP. You just have nothing to prove! Better to drink some wine, play some music, and drift around town all day like Venti.
23. Zhongli
Check Out This Skin For a more solemn and masculine skin, consider the enigmatic consultant at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Zhongli. The mortal vessel of the Geo Archon isn’t any more responsible than Venti – he just projects a more serious image. In reality, he’s just as broke and about as lazy. Get this skin if you’re the calm and collected guy who looks like they have everything under control, despite not even knowing what’s going on. It’s all about the attitude.
24. Hu Tao
Check Out This Skin As the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor in Liyue, you’d expect Hu Tao to be a mild-mannered and solemn character reflecting her occupation. Albeit definitely eccentric, Hu Tao is actually energetic and always ready to play around a bit. She’s especially fond of pranking people, though I assume that never happens during funeral procedures. As the owner of a Pyro Vision, Hu Tao would fit right in with the TNT enthusiasts of Minecraft. A brilliant skin for any player who wants to fill up caves with explosives and watch how their game collapses after setting them off.
25. Amber
Check Out This Skin No character is better suited for Minecraft survival than Amber. As an Outrider of the Knights of Favonius, Amber is an expert scout and survivalist. She knows the plains, hills, and forests around Mondstadt like the back of her hand. And she’d just as quickly learn the lay of the land in Minecraft, too. Her skill as a Pyro archer would come in handy to protect your settlements from the horrors of the night. Just apply a Flame enchantment to a regular bow, and you’re good to go.
