billboarding?

yesh, billboards are 2d planes that always face the camera

It's the first mob to use billboarding probably because that feature doesn't seem to exist in vanilla MC. And people generally like models more.

Yeah, I actually create things like billboards and spherical shapes and shit just as a big fuck you towards those who only want blocky models.

By the way, with Turbo Model Thingy, it is in theory possible to create voxel mobs.

EDIT: Also, billboarding DOES exist in vanilla MC, as the items you drop. So yeah.

If I remember correctly, they aren't quite billboards, since they only face you horizontally. They don't completely face you when you're above or below them.

Doesn't make them less billboard-y.

Also, particles. They're billboards also. And they do always face you.

but
it's... in keeping with the game's aesthetic to stick with blocky models
cool if you can do other things, but it'll look out of place and tacky, so
what exactly is the point?

man why am I even bothering

To piss off the whiny douches. Basically. And because I can.

Also, let's not forget that this was once in Minecraft:

total of 30 mins ~ 45 mins for this
burning the globe theatre. Fun.

For people who've been not sure about buying Minecraft: There's now an actual demo available.

It's the full game, but locks so you can't play it anymore after 90 minutes.

Recreated the cow skin for non-demo version.

Right Click -> Save As -> place in minecraft mob folder (C:\Users\*yournamehere*\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\bin, open minecraft file with 7zip or a program alike)

personally, I don't think 90 minutes is enough time for someone to really "get" the game

It's 100 minutes, now.

Has anyone else has problems with having thousands of creepers in your house after using the craftbook mob spawning ic?
