Well because bedrock on Xbox/PS4 you can't make your own skin or choose a custom skin. So while I like the idea, and I'd really love to have ANY better resolution skin for my ferret avatar, it is unfortunate people suck and make nice things impossible. Anyone offering to support HDR skins is going to be held liable in a court of law for distributing pornography, and it is unlikely anyone with the *means* to mod it in will do so without consulting a lawyer telling them, 'Aw hell no!' But I don't think it likely that any higher resolution player skins is going to be a 'thing'. As far as I know, the MLP mod is still active and supports 'HDR Pony' skins. Now there were mods for 'HDR Avatars', but last I looked they have been discontinued. Given they've already enough on their plate, Mojang isn't going to do this. And since parents can't go after some random kid with tan-elephant head undies, Mojang will have to bear the brunt of the parental annoyance.

Yeah, you can still do it, but with the current resolution it is by default 'pixelated out.' For every doubling of the resolution, you quadruple the odds of idiots flaunting the size of their avatar's gonads. As I recall, another 'nope-nope-nope' in the attitude of the Devs is 'genitalia art' in skins.
