Suggestions for minecraft mobs

Yep. Minecraft doesn't use any models, they're all textures that are "folded" to make 3D shapes. There's no point in modeling, rigging, or animating anything for Minecraft as far as I know. OP is the one who needs to be facepalm'd at.

You create a model and texture it. It's not papercraft it's a video game.

minecraft doesnt use conventional modeling though..? you just code it i believe, thats how the creeper was made notch made the pig tall instead of fat and yeah

look at it this way. minecraft works in a three dimensional plane, using coordinates X, Y, Z, -X, -Y, -Z. this applies to everything in minecraft, including how mobs are made. placing coordinates and then connecting them via code is how the models are made, it's also why the models are so simple.
you can search through all of the files in minecraft, but you won't find any models.

This. You create a texture then use the code to, like I said, "fold" the texture into a 3D model. That's how the creeper was made. Notch was trying to make a pig but he accidentally coded the body to be longer vertically than horizontally.

There is a program out there that creates the code for you when you model with it, I forget the name but it allows you to "model" so-to-speak mobs.

So you're both right.

You learn something new everyday.
