MineSkin API Key

When you have many npcs with skins (especially skins by file or url), you will notice that it takes a while once they are all loaded. The reason for that is the rate-limit by MineSkin. We use MineSkin to generate the necessary skin data. At the moment they have a limit of 10 skins per minute. Using an MineSkin API Key does increase the limit to 30 skins per minute. So if you have many skins, I recommend to get a MineSkin API key and use it.
