Thats a quite simple answer to your problem. Just retexture the bottom of the head to be the same as the 3d part of the head. So its still 3d but the decoration heads still look like the mob, except not 3d.
This wouldn't work. The bottom layer is different, so when you're at different angles you see something different. Notice how on vonDoomcraft's Zombie, the brain and eye sockets go past what is visible directly is in from of the mob. This is so when you see the detail from the side, you see "in" the texture, and it doesn't immediately stop.
If you do what you're saying, the mob would appear "doubled" or similar, like the skeleton would have 2 layers of skull, and the zombie would have skin on the inside of his head, which would look very odd.
It's not an easy fix for artists; It is an easy fix for Mojang.

Great, more junk, I mean *cough* good work mojang I'll pretend to praise you for this absolute JUUNKK. Seriously, thanks for ruining the game, "community" I hardly see how listening to one persons absolutely stupid idea constitutes as listening to the "community", thank you jeb and dinnerbone, and whoever else working on these horrid Minecraft updates.
In reply to: Winnermarcelosc If you don't agree to put some new adds on the updates, why you don't make your OWN mod for place your OWN ideas? the mojang work in a LOT of games, isn't easy to control all games on 1 week... Of course they do, it's a freaking company. Also your English is superb, a plus to persuade someone, you sure changed my view Hah *sarcasm*. Notch did fine on his own working on Minecraft.
Face the reality, not everyone likes these stupid updates that only the minority are going to use, and for the rest of us well.. Then it's shoved in our face, and the community goes against me for having an opinion, and they accept these updates as if they were created by a God. Jeb seriously lacks development skills, I mean, he can't even think of his own ideas and listens to 10 year old's who bought Minecraft last week.
Notch you were and always will be the true developer of Minecraft.
Dude,
One: These guys put so much work into it, it's not their fault you don't want these in it, and 'I'm sure these are really going to ruin your world!!'
Two: Two, you never mentioned anything that you 'wanted' as far as I can see. Try that.
Three: I don't see you trying to design a masterpiece of a game right now, do I. I actually find that with Notch not leading the design, it is still going quite good. He made a wise choice with who to trust the job with.
SO Would you please stop complaining about NOTHING...??

Actually I am working on a game, 5months in development so far. Quite good? There have ONLY been aesthetical updates, and about 90% of them are new blocks or mobs. And for the non-aesthetical updates, there have been very few and very minor at that. You cannot deny. I get 20 fps in current versions of Minecraft, yet in older versions my fps on average is 200. Did you read my post? Where I stated that; even if we don't use these features they will still be shoved in our face, for example new biomes and world generation etc. Trust me adding a new block is anything but 'Hard work', defend them all you like by saying that they discuss the outcomes of every update and the effect, then why are they adding player skulls? Is that REALLY necessary.

Why dont you try developing Minecraft? I think the community would LOVE the way you want it done. No updates ever and when they are you just add crappy stuff like guns or something.
I dont even understand what your so freaking mad about. You dont have to update. You dont have to read the forums if you hate everything. You don't even have to play Minecraft. You can go play Assasins Creed or something. Isnt that what all the other 7 year olds are playing these days?
This isnt even an update. This is just telling the community that there might be a possibility of player heads. Why get so mad about it? Are you a head hunter or something and you get offended when people talk about heads? Seriously calm down dude chill....
And Mojang isnt a big company. Just 10 guys developing games. So yeah it is hard to be developing a whole bunch of games at once. Id love to see you try that.

Send me the link to your new game that adds Minecraft copied blocks and mobs please.
Oh and learn your deffinitions. Aesthetical updates are ones that change the game. Content updates are the ones that add new things.
And the updates aren't 'in our face' if you havent noticed when you log on and it says 'Would you like to update?' you can click no and stay on your version. And you dont have to download the snapshots either. In fact you dont even have to read the forums about new updates.
Lol guns are you serious? If you think I'm that stupid then why am I arguing against these updates..? Can you not distinguish that I am for a medieval sandbox game and true content, while you are for the new additions and unnecessary components? I understand I don't HAVE to (Hah I should have realized sooner..), No I am not mad, It is expression of opinion, and since when has this not been the place for that?This is a forum, correct?mHowever, I am annoyed that a game I really enjoy takes a turn for the worst. It is still a mere suggestion for a future update in the game, so they must at least have some intent of it being a "good idea" otherwise they would not suggest it at all. I'm one person, I never said I could develop multiple games at once, I'm making my game from the ground up, why would I need to use the concept of Minecraft, when I could make mods for it? Sorry my game won't be released for a while, bear in mind that it is an indie game. I'd rather freedom than the restrictions of Minecraft. Then again, Notch must have had his disbelievers too, as I have you. Who knows, maybe my game will become a hit. And trust me, if it does the content will be in no way shabby.

Okay I misunderstoof you about the game part.
But seriously how is a minor change like adding heads make the game so bad? You dont have to use them... Trust me in 5 months time youll think this stuff is normal and the new stuff they add in 5 months time you'll think its not normal. Its because its new now, but it will get old and normal later. So why complain about it when in 5 months time when it feels normal minecraft youll be fine with it.... Are you mad at the pistons or climbing spiders too? That was Jebs idea. It might have felt weird at first but now it feels vanilla.......

Sorry if my previous post sounded aggressive, It's just that people are starting to find these updates acceptable when they aren't improving anything but looks, I have tried to adjust ever since the 1.8 update, trust me I do enjoy change, I just can't stand when the whole objective of the game is diverted to an easier, more survival oriented play, as for creative mode it's a bit overkill, people don't spend as much time on tiny details as they used to(because of survival mode) they would have to build and check over every block at a time, pistons were actually inspired by a community created mod.
I am just disappointed the updates aren't of quality and are aimed at quantity just so they rake in more dollars as the new players don't get bored, while the veterans are left to retreat. The things they are adding (which take weeks for every update) are almost what you can find in an average mod, that takes 5 seconds to install and even if the community is left waiting for updates for months then there are modder's out there working to create new content, there is no shortage.
You can go play Assasins Creed or something. Isnt that what all the other 7 year olds are playing these days?
No, just... No. The rest of your post is fine, but THAT statement right there has all my no. Please tell me you are not serious in this. Assassin's Creed is NOT a game meant for 7-year-olds, as far as I can tell. I am 18 and very much appreciate the game's complex and twist-filled story.
I realize that I am probably nitpicking or fussing about something a lot of people would say isn't important about the post. But this offended me.

There is actually a way to get "player skulls" ( I made a video over this on youtube If you want to see it just search up Chancraft on youtube, I am the CHANNEL not the videos (Long Story) ).
Now it's time to make a McNostalgia or Minecraft Version Changer for Xbox. Or else we are going to be stuck with bad terrain, hunger, etc. (I don't hate hunger or villages or anything, but I would like in the hypothetic case of me buying a 360 to play the old versions)
Dammit. This better not mean they are ridding xbox edition of the beta generator. The 1.8 generator sucks compared to beta. There's no variation, or randomness. It's all the same everywhere you go, and the only mountains are blue, ugly, and have no trees.
The rest of the 1.8 generator is fine (ravines, villages, mineshafts) But I really like the way beta worlds are randomized
1) I would like to see those complaining try to run a game as big as Minecraft.
2) To those complaining: These updates are not only for looks. Two new mobs, one of which is a boss. A beacon for not only navigation but for effects and finally a good use for mineral blocks. Plus more mobs are going to be added.
3) My favorite part: Ideas! I like the heads(hope you can wear other people's heads), but I thought of something WAY better. Imagine if you didn't Immediately wake up from bed in a multiplayer server. Instead, you would dream until everyone was in a bed. You would spawn in a map that is a superflat world with trees with leaves of wool OR you would have a nightmare. Nightmares would be on an island of soul sand surrounded by lava. Just an idea I had.

I lol'd. After it updates the only version there will be with good terrain is PE, and PE's is kind of lackluster (no caves, tall grass, etc)
