Are you playing on online-mode=false servers, or are the Minecraft servers configured to use Ely.by's authentication servers with online-mode=true? If it's the former, this is probably #18.

#18 is not solved.

So is this a duplicate of #18? #18 is unlikely to be resolved by Fjord Launcher, authlib-injector, or Ely.by. Showing skins on online-mode=false servers is a bit outside the scope of these projects. Try using the Forge/Fabric mod https://github.com/xfl03/MCCustomSkinLoader. I think it will load skins from Ely.by (among other sources) by default.

But I have another problem, others see my skin when they are with ely.by.
Do I also need to download MCCustomSkinLoader on the server, and download it to all my friends?

The reason they're seeing skins is maybe because they're using Ely.by's patched authlib. Fjord Launcher doesn't use this since it's proprietary and Ely.by-specific, and we want to work with all authentication servers. Ely.by's patched authlib loads skins by player name in offline mode, similar to CustomSkinLoader.

CustomSkinLoader is client-side only, so yes, if you want other Fjord Launcher users to see each other's skins on online-mode=false servers, you'd need each user to install CustomSkinLoader. You could also look into https://github.com/samolego/FabricTailor which is a server-side mod that works with Ely.by.

But if everyone playing on the server is already using Ely.by, then I would set online-mode=true on the server and configure the server to authenticate users with Ely.by. That's the recommended way of doing things.
