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.
