Minecraft is getting a character creator in a future update

246x0w.jpg

Minecraft continues to be a juggernaut of a game, pulling in a massive 112 million players on a monthly basis. Updates for the game continue to roll out, adding new content to the decade-old title, bringing updated game mechanics, new creatures, blocks, and other additions. The latest update, which is currently playable as a beta, adds a somewhat unexpected feature: a character creator. According to the update's patch notes, players can now have much more customizability over their character, such as having the option to adjust eyes, mouth, hairstyle & colors, facial hair, skin tones, body shape and size, and limb replacement. There is set to be over 100 different items to edit your character with, for free, with additional customization being available for purchase as DLC. For those concerned about their Minecraft character skins, those will not be affected, and can still be used in future builds of the game. The Minecraft Character Creator is currently in beta on Android, Windows, and Xbox, and will eventually be playable on all platforms when the update fully launches.

I wonder if said skins would be exportable to the Java Edition? Maybe with a Forge mod? Who knows. Either way, I have one word.

Finally.

To quote TV Tropes "Ah, Minecraft: a beautiful world that rewards creativity, a multiplayer experience like no other, endless exploration to wherever your heart desires, and the uncanny ability to bring modern quadcore computers to their knees. How is this possible? How does a game with graphics so simple they should run fine on a Pentium 2 require a modern gaming box to play at 1080p without stuttering — let alone if you dare to apply graphic-improving mods? Well, let's just say there's a reason almost nobody writes 3D games in Java and the console and mobile versions were remade from the ground up. Luckily, the Windows 10 edition (which is free if you've already bought the Java edition) is based on the console versions and thus, much less resource heavy at the cost of being able to Game Mod."

Am I wrong, or have there not been all sorts of mods to do this sort of thing anyways?

For example, a server I'm on has a mod to attach animal tails to your characters.

They toke various ideas from mods and added it to the basegame. Nothing new.

Never played MC (other than 3GS phone version which doesn’t count) but I’m surprised this couldn’t be done already

Are people really complaining about micro transactions in minecraft? Like literally everyone owns the game at this point. Without microtransactions, how would they gain any substantial money to continue supporting and updating it? I understand hate for a game that costs $60 and has microtransactions and only gets support for a year.
