Minecraft Allows Players To Control How Their Avatars Look

Minecraft offers its own character creator complete with body size and shape, hair styles, clothing, and facial features.

Minecraft eventually embraces an actual character creator for its players. You can give it a try by taking part in the beta version - 1.13.0.15, which is now available on Windows 10, Xbox One, and Android

Despite already possessing a variety of fan-made skins, the backbone of Minecraft's well-known personalization, the sandbox title is offering its own complete character creator. Options for the character include body size and shape, hairstyles, clothing, and facial features. More than 100 items will be free to access with other custom accessories available for purchase, all developed by Minecraft team.

One prominent feature of the new creator is limb replacement. There are relatively modern prosthetic limbs, but also Minecraft-themed fantasy options such as “Redstone leg” and “beacon arm.”

The character creator can be used as users kick off the game. It is located in the “Profile” section, with “Creator Character” button following. Further, for someone who prefers a custom-made look, Minecraft hasn’t got rid of the traditional options. It offers an endless list of custom skins in the Classic Skins tab inside the “Profile” section.

According to a statement by Minecraft, the new feature currently remains approachable only to beta testers. In the upcoming days, Minecraft Earth, iOS, and Nintendo Switch will soon add those options as the beta has completed.

Besides character creator, Minecraft Beta introduces new elements in the gameplay including Suspicious Stew trade to Farmer Villagers. It also fixes several crashes occurring during the game, or related to the EvocationFang animation. As promised, unused vanilla textures have been removed, and Mob spawners and Cave Spiders will no longer reveal error logs and affect the game experience.
