Does the new skin system works now or will it be available in 1.8?
If you upload a new skin (64x64) and play 1.7.4 it will load the top 64x32 pixels as a pre-14w03a skin. If you play 14w03a with the new skin it loads the skin with the new features.
Unfortunately you can't just pay the missing gold/lapis by sacrificing all the levels.
So... XP is now completely irrelevant then since you can get 3 levels (27 - 30) back in a very, VERY short amount of time why bother even charging anything at this point? Now I'm "limited" by lapis I guess? But that's silly since with a fortune pick axe after you find about 3 blocks of lapis you aren't running out any time soon (You can get what? 30 something from one block with fortune 3?).
I find this to be a really weird change and I don't really know why it would be implemented in this fashion - especially now that repairing is also super cheap to do! So far this is the change in the snapshot that leaves me scratching my head and not understanding it.

You DO still need the 30 levels-they just aren't all spent.

Well of course but if you are even mildly competent you won't ever need to get a full 30 levels again since you won't die and lose them all - which makes going from 27 - 30 negligable and IMO makes the whole new system basically pointless and you are arrive at a place of basically unlimited enchanting very quickly. It just seems so.... EASY now I guess is what I'm trying to say.
One thing about the skins, people could just make a hat all over their body and look really weird, or just put a hat all over their body except for their torso, and that would make from REALLY weird skins.
Is it really that hard for people to understand the 2 layer skins? It's just like having a "Hat" layer like we previously had, but for the full body. It's literally a hat layer for the entire body. Simple.
I have no idea how to use a hat.
I don't understand how two layers differs from a single layer, unless the idea is that you can "wear" someone else's clothing layer over your skin layer by putting their second half in with your first half.
(In regard to a mod that gives realistic animal genetics):
Would you really rather have bees that make diamonds and oil with magical genetic blocks?
... did I really ask that?

It's just a part of the skin that's always been there. They're just extra pixels that stick out a little bit from the main player.
You can't really see mine too well, but it gives me kind of messy hair. On the blonde one, you can clearly see the bit that sticks out, though. That's all the hat is. Now you can have bits like that everywhere.
after going though the process my self of converting my skin, i will note that the template above is inaccurate, the template that you can download above is 256X256, it should be 64X64 (as the old skin template is 64X32), this is easily fixed by scaling it down in GIMP. The top 64X32 of the new skin template is exactley the same as the old, the only differecence is that it only skins the right limbs (as the current sytem skins both limbs with one texture). You could simply past your old skin on the uper half of the template and it would work for currect versions. Though when the update comes, you're left limbs would be colored oddly, as you have to specify the pixels for your left limbs in the new part of the template. This can obviusly fixed by skining your left limbs in the new format, but it won't take effect until the update OR you're using a newer snapshot.

If the cake is a lie........ does that mean if i build a house out of cake my house isn't real?
Your sense of style is pathetic , I always look to java programers for style , because where ever they are , they always have .class.
I think it would be nice if Mojang made a converter for the skins. For example, comverting a 1.7 skin to a 1.8 skin. Just like how TextureEnder works. That would be extremely useful.
ahhhh i just knew why are the arms and legs swapped, TY. but the new one will be better for newer skins
but wait,,older skins will have only left leg and right arm right? so old skins will not be working even if the new skin didn't get swapped

It is like the zombie pigman second head layer, only you can have that over your entire body.

You upload it to Minecraft the same way you normally do. Go to the minecraft site, go to your profile, upload the new skin.

Why notch?
the RA2 part , when all the skin is resized to 64x64, is 15x12 instead of 16x12. But the LA2 part isn´t.... Wut
