also, can anyone hook me up with the villager skin that doesn't have the handicapped nose?
There is a full face. You can take out the part of the texture applied to the nose and it'll not be there.
i've made 1 edit of the villager and just replaced all the others with it. also, did anyone notice the steve skin labeled "villager", what is that?
They told me I could be anything...

So I tried to look normal.
I made the image, but Audax posted it before I could. I applied the villager Steve skin to the villagers, and they look like that.
thank god, those things are loving horrid, i'm sure that if those things were implemented as a final model there would be mods to use a regular steve.
That's all assumption. Chances are villages can be composed of different sentient beings, and this is just one kind. Pigmen are still in the files, so they will have to have a part at some point. For all we know, he abandoned using humans (at least currently) since he'd have to many many different textures to keep it from being awkward all Steves. You wouldn't feel human if everyone was you, or many people looked alike. Pigmen and Villagers would be nice. I mean, it makes more sense. Stop complaining about how they look.
I'm sure this has been said a lot, but jumping gives you XP.
So if you die in SMP, the server is going to explode on itself when millions of experience orbs fly out of you.
Jeb said soon after releasing 1.9 Pre that Jumping giving EXP was for testing. AKA betting Experience Orb spam has already been fixed, and that was to test different kinds. It looks like there's different orbs now in the files, possibly for amounts.
