Description
This is a very simple mod. It renders villagers that are named with a name tag as a player, and you can choose which player to render as by naming the villager with the player's name. Named villagers with a name that doesn't matches any players name with a custom skin (By custom skins I mean skin that the player uploaded. Skins of player who never changed his / her skin doesn't count.) are not affected.
If you want me to make it in other minecraft versions, or any ideas, comment it below.
(Please I am out of ideas)
Connection is needed to download skin of players, but in version 1.1 or above making villagers appear as Steve or Alex connection is not need.
Screenshots:
-Version 1.4
Apply the same effect on zombie villagers, and make the skin look "zombi-lish".
-Version 1.1
As there is no player named Alex or Steve, I made the villagers apper as Steve if they are named Steve and alex if they are named Alex.
-Version 1.2
Fixed the problem of making nearly every player's hand slim, sorry for uploading files every 5 minutes.
-Version 1.3
Added imgur support, you can use the image id of a picture on imgur as the texture of a villager.
For example, if the URL of the texture is http://imgur.com/hZqf5hz, then the id would be hZqf5hz. To use the texture, name a villager hZqf5hz.
