Hello. I have been looking around trying to see if it is possible in Vanilla 1.6.2 to animate a skin. I don't mean overly complicated, like animations that follow what you are doing (ie, frowning face while hungry.) I just want to see if something like animating blocks with a single looping PNG file would work.
As an example, blinking eyes for the standard skin. It would be one or two of the standard skin in, say a 64x64 png image. (example below) The top 32 pixels would be the standard skin with open eyes, the bottom closed. To animate blocks, I know there's a .mcmeta file, but that doesn't seem to work for player skins. Thanks for your help!
Edit: Duh. .mcmeta file won't work because it won't be uploaded. I'll try messing around with the file some more. A simple stack of images doesn't have the desired effect either....
