JSON files: Many vanilla assets define race-specific appearance templates in assets/races/* and assets/portraits/.

Lua scripting: Server-side scripts can edit player data via player API or entity API depending on mod type (e.g., world scripts, object scripts, or a command).

sbpatcher or modinfo: package your changes under a mod folder in starbound/mods, include modinfo.patch to add new scripts and assets.
