Very simple implementation that can be built upon in the future.
Just have a Gender Query at the start of a new game.
Based on the query the player's model will be remade. (Male or Female) This can be expanded later into a type of "class" system but as of right now I'm only interested in getting simple support for Genders.
And really that's all I want to know people's opinion on.
Genders. Yes or no?
To those of you who suggest "Just reskin it!"

I was thinking about this way before. This has GOT to be done. Unless you just change the skin manually.

To draw a parallel. It'd be like giving Ken a wig and female clothes and saying he's Barbie.
Aww... you don't wanna play a manly Lara Croft? :ohmy.gif:( ... ;o)
I'm all for this idea. I can't imagine it'd be that difficult to implement. Skin changes are already available. All that would change would be the damage sounds from the character.
you can do that yourself. Just hack together pixels in the right order. You can make your own character skin, including female characters if you so choose.

So you say 1.4 is fail because you don't know how to update your server? WTF
Thats like saying all cars fail because you don't know how to put gas in them.
Not everyone who plays minecraft is a male, right?
@Necro
Why not? Males aren't the only ones who play this.
Well, Look, any skins made for the male model would not work..... Besides, it kinda damages the feel of the game...
Skin it in if you want to look like it........ Being able to choose what sound you want your pain things to be is fine... But i feel we should stick to a single player model...
(Of coerce, we can make skins that make certain areas of the player character larger.... Only around the head, But if we could make a whole model overlay.... It would allow for that freedom. We cannot change the model directly.)

Yes they would, if Notch UV Unwrapped them correctly.

That's a very uniform way of thinking you have there. Please, though, elaborate, why do you think it would damage the feel of the game?
The character is a block with a block head and block arm and legs... it's only the skin you put on it that gives it a gender of any kind... So give it whatever skin you want.
I've seen girls, boys, creeper-men, zombies, golems, superheroes, monsters, and more... it all depends on what skin you choose (changeable through the website) to give your generic block biped figure.
(as a girl who plays minecraft and an amateur skinner) i wouldn't mind the inclusion of a playable sprite with
pixel-boobies.
as for a class system, i dont see a need for it since players can't really gain any kind of passive bonuses in this game
But on World creation you have a checkbox that's "Customize character" or something, which is automatically unselected.
But if you select it you can choose your gender.
That work for you?
Also, in terms of eh bewbies, I was just thinking a 1 pixel Z, 2 Y, and Chest width X to emulate them. I don't think that would look THAT bad.

lol jk, good idea
Me, In real life.... But only when the skin has a grey striped sweatshirt and brown hair.
I am not hitler, A penis, or Diiick Cypro.

I approve of this idea 100%!

I'm a tetrahedral man myself.
Now in all seriousness sure why not?

Anyhow, it would not damage the feel of the game at all
It's not like I'm saying Make Female models look like something the PS3 should handle...
Just make a simple female model that players can choose to be.
Also... Cubic.
Makes the overall look more cohesive.

And draga... the voice is most definitely male. So if you skin yourself to be a woman... enjoy being pre-op. (atleast imo)
I'm sorry, but that made me laugh.

That's almost sig worthy.
Though what would "neutral" be? A robot?
