Customizable Player Models

Create a custom avatar using the editor.

The models have be exported to show up in the world. https://github.com/tom5454/CustomPlayerModels/wiki/Exporting
The models are stored in unused space on your Minecraft Skin, or as a Gist on GitHub.

Upload the exported image file as your skin to load the custom model.

 

The additional parts can have custom textures, higher resolution skins can be used (Steve skin from Soartex Fanver - Vanilla)

Parts of the normal player model can be hidden or moved around.

You can even make parts of your skin "glow" like a glow squid.
