It's alright I guess. Though I dislike the random noise, and the eyes look very out of place.
it's not random noise, it's the low-res equivalent of texture, and it's the major thing your skin is lacking; if you look at a dirt block it's not all one shade of brown and that's why it looks good
as for the eyes, I have no idea what you're talking about, they look like pretty average angry-aquatic-beast-that-got-terribly-wounded-in-battle eyes to me
so I guess no one felt the need to mention the new things in the snapshot
* A new scary decoration block
- mob skulls
* The “secret” from previous snapshots is now spawnable
- craft 4 soul sand in a t-shape with 3 wither skeleton skulls on top
* A new mob variant in the Nether
- aforementioned wither skeletons
* Minor changes to the leather dyeing (the colors will attempt to maintain intensity and not dilute as much)
* The “work in progress block” is now called “Beacon” and can be crafted
- 3 obsidian with a nether star (wither drop) on top encased by glass
* Carrot on a stick!
- pig driving
* Bug fixes
