Hey guys!
I've just recently came across this thread on PCGamer:
http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/07/16/minec ... ixel-arms/
It's basically about the changing of the player model. Specifically, changing the width from 4 pixels to 3 pixels. You will be able to toggle from the slim arms to regular arms anytime you want. The hitboxes will also be the same, so gameplay isn't affected, just visual.
I personally like this, as the arms on characters no longer look too bulky (in comparison), but there would be a few problems with existing skins.
How do you feel about this? Do you think it's an amazing idea, or the worst thing ever?

I would really like this feature in Minecraft because the bodies do look out of proportion when you compare it to actual humans. Also, that would add another feature for skins since we would have one extra layer left over to make bracelets and such look real instead of a line over the arm...
Yeah, the bracelets look sweet with the 3 pixel arms!
And with the arms, 4 pixels look fine, until you compare it with the 3 pixel arms.

It looks kinda weird with the legs staying the same but I can totally see this for girl skins (I wouldn't use it on my IRL skin collection though because I've got more muscle on my arms than a normal girl but meh)
Would cause lots of problems with skins, but if it was a skin option like how 1.8 will let you turn off hats I would like it.
Yeah, you'll be able to change between 3 pixel and 4 pixel arms from the profile on minecraft.net.
I like the idea of three pixel-wide arms.
It's nice, isn't it?
It just looks... better.

"There will be few problems".
Right. It just shrinks your arms, So it doesnt screw with your skin.

Looks great, but they'd have to scale down tool sizes. How is an arm that thin going to support an iron pickaxe?
I don't think too much logic applies in Minecraft.
Exactly.
That's kinda cool IMO. I like the change... looks more... simple.
Im pretty sure this doesn't affect making skins, As the skin will auto-scale the arm part when you change you arm bulk.
or not and Mojang makes the task of doing this very complicated and tedious

I love the idea! It'll be harder to shade... o3o But I think it's great for female skins. ^-^
I'm ok with it, as long as it is a customizable thing, as some players wouldn't want to see 3 pixel arms... Here is what I wouldn't mind
It could be in the games options (or on the profile) And could go in the same section with how you are able to disable certain layers of a skin ( I think it is called skin custimization) In which, you can choose your arm length (3 or 4 pixels wide) and if you are able to see them.

Looks less like minecraft and more like roblox, but female skins will be more attractive.
As long as it doesn't change the player's hitbox, I'm ok with it. You know everyone is going to make their skin as small as it can if it affects hitboxes.
They haven't changed the hitbox, thankfully.
That looks ridiculously better. Wow.
I like how it looks a lot.
I don't particularly like the idea of it, but it's ok because it is optional.
Everything is Minecraft is made up with even numbers so i don't like it. :/
Like a stack is: 64, a deafult block resolution 16x16 and so on.
And they would look almost as skinny as me (guess that would make me able to make a skin of myself). xD
