For a good few years now Minecraft has had 2 body types, Slim and Normal. I am here to suggest a new body type to the list: The Villager.
Before you call me insane, this idea isn't as far out as you might believe.
Reason 1; Player visibility.
Player visibility would not be a major concern considering a majority of people would make the skins whatever, not just recreations of villagers and including the fact that people have the ability to camouflage themselves anyway with custom skins, not to forget that the model would have normal arms so it'd be difficult passing as an NPC anyway.
Reason 2; It's (technically) already in the game.
Before console edition was updated to bedrock, Minecraft CE had mini games and with them came mini game skin packs. One of these packs being the Villager team, being almost identical to what I'm suggesting. Implementation wouldn't be too difficult for the Minecraft team since they already have the assets and starting over would not be too hard.
Reason 3; In improvement to player creativity/clothing
Naturally this only being a body type, you can still have custom skins. The only difference (or possible complaint) the custom skins would have is being slightly bigger, different. There would be a good group of people who would adder looking like a villager on Minecraft servers, you could change the head to look like an old hazard mask, make him look like he's in a bath robe with a towel on his head, make him a police man with a cool cloak and vest or even just be a villager/illager. The possibilities are endless and only grow higher with the Villager as an option.
Reason 4. Villagers are in mass production
The Minecraft team have added tons of Villager type people and making them a player option wouldn't be too far out of their league to get away with.
Reason 5. Lore
You may believe that they are stupid, scared or minding there own business but villagers have been prone to change no matter what some sources say after all illagers were just villagers who thought differently so in Lore this body type is completely possible, not to mention going back to reason 2, they are already in console edition so this proves villagers would go out of their way to perform odd tasks like combat, sky diving and etc.
The goal for this mod is to actually try and get this added to Minecraft, the website itself suggests there are better chances of it being added if a mod is made so I highly ask that someone helps me out with this! the same info will be used in the actual suggestion when we get to the stage of the mod being done, if you're not so good with making skins, I'm good at pixel art and I'll have no issue at making a base skin for the body type. Once again i will be incredibly appreciative if you help me out with this because I am positively sure that this has a chance in the newer Minecraft updates, if you want to help in other ways spread the idea out so we can try and get it out to the "Pick your mob" thing they have yearly ( I think it's yearly I don't know). I really hope you all have my support here.
