    will you potentially add villages for other mod biomes, such as Thaumcraft's Taint and Magical biomes?

    SomeoneOverTheRainbow posted a message on Resource Packs allowing for renamed items to be differently textured (and Attributed) to what they were.
    As you know, with 1.6 here, texture packs have being replaced by resource packs, which add music, sounds, attributes, etc. to the list of editable features of minecraft.

    I feel that renaming a bow to "longbow", isn't enough, sure you can edit the texture for all bows, but it wouldn't feel like your longbow was special.Why not add a folder in textures called "custom item textures" so you can have your specially textured longbow.*

    But wait, it doesn't do anything new, it's just a retextured and renamed bow. Well it should slow the player down more than a standard bow, and do more damage, right? With the new resource packs, you can give items attributes, which means that you can add features to items (e.g. golden helmet can give you a health boost, a mining speed boost, and a night vision boost that all last until you remove the helmet from your head**) so just add slowing to all bows right? wrong! Your longbow should have it's own special attributes, New Folder! Call the folder "custom item attributes" Mojang, and have the attributes of your longbow in there (slowness and strength is what you would use for a longbow, probably), or maybe just put a .properties file with the same name as the texture.

    * File would be called "bow/longbow.png" (a "Mining Helmet"'s texture file would be called "helmetGold/Mining Helmet.png" and so forth).

    ** You would need a "custom armour texture" folder*** to make it look different on your player model.

    *** There would start to be a clutter of folders in the textures folder though, so probably not so many folders in your texture folder, maybe put a new folder in the minecraft folder of your resource pack called "custom textures"**** that has all the information for custom items, armour and blocks**** in it.

    **** Yes this should be able to be done for blocks too, that way you could have a "Master Emerald" that when walked on gives you Resistance V, Strength VII (1-hit Kill with bare fists) and Jump boost X (I dunno?), or a nest (hopper) that chickens are attracted too so it is easier to collect eggs.

    Another thing that could be added is mobs, like roosters, bulls and such (finally, tameable dragons, Yeah!!!) with features such as health, aggressiveness(peaceful aggressive, neutral, etc.), attack. This would make bosses, like an Arch Mage (witch/ArchMage.png) a possibility.
