This Texture Pack is just screaming default; why can't the testificates be exactly like this; these are very well made textures that blend into the vanilla Minecraft Style!
Snapshot users: Fear not, this pack is still being maintained, and as soon as I feel like the zombified villagers are "finished" I'll be doing my own skin for them to match the rest of the set here.
I just remember how iffy things were with the Iron Golems for a while, with the textures changing with each snapshot. So I am going to wait a couple of weeks before I start pixelling.
Featuring the new "The Cursed" and "Crone" villager skins (zombie villager and witch, respectively).
The Cursed is a villager who has been corrupted by the zombie plague. You can still save him, if you're well equipped. But move quickly, before this cursed soul kills his fellow villagers, or boils away in the harsh morning light.
The Crone is a villager who has turned away from Village life. Dedicating her life to pursuing the mystical arts, she doesn't like visitors.. particularly strangers! Upset the Crone, and she'll use her powers and potions against you! Beware!
---
Stevian Villagers v1.2 also contains a slightly updated skin for the Barmaid, to make her apron more consistent with the Crone's.
Hm, I can't really say that I'm fond of the Crone. She looks a little too nice and a bit like a grandmother even. So when the witch attacks me in 1.4 and I murder her, I'll feel really guilty! XD
I find myself wishing that she looked a bit more like a traditional Halloween witch, that the colors were darker and more somber. And in this case, I don't think I'd mind the otherwise ugly, gigantic testificate nose!

I have personal issues with the "kill the witch" concept in general, and since I've been seeing a lot of people on reddit posting pictures of witches on fire-pits, witches on gallows, etc, I really have already had just about enough of that. Vampires, Werewolves, Reanimated Mummies, Zombies, Walking Skeletons, Frankenstein's Monster.. all of these are fictional characters, but witches, particularly the whole concept of angry mobs murdering witches.. that comes from real history, people being murdered for the mere accusation of being a witch.
So if you're feeling a little uncomfortable after hunting down the village historian's sister and murdering her for her belongings, just because she never married, and lives on her own, studying potions.. well then I think my texture for the Crone is doing it's subversive job perfectly. If I could, I'd give her a tray full of cookies just to make you feel that much worse.
I might be willing to dim her colors a bit though, seeing as she's apparently going to live in the swamps. I'll have to think about that.
Time for a poll!
By now, you've all seen the texture I made for "The Crone" (the Witch).
I knew when I made her, she would be controversial, but after giving the matter some thought, I've decided to open a poll to gather public opinion.
The poll allows you to choose two answers per person. I'm not going to promise to be bound strictly by the results of the poll, but if enough of you feel very strongly in a particular direction, well I'll definitely give your choices serious consideration.
Voting ends on September 30, at noon Pacific time.
I can totally see where you're coming from, having studied the Salem Witch trials in history class and having read The Crucible a long, long time ago in high school. Seeing through the lens of the modern mindset, the whole frenzy and religious fervor and ridiculousness of the persecution of those accused was more than a bit absurd and downright frightening.
However, barring that, I do feel that a "Traditional Halloween" feel may be more appropriate since the witches in Minecraft are hostile and they do attack first. You could always create an alternative Halloween Witch and keep the Crone for those who like it. But I would understand if you didn't change it and respect your stance.
if only this was a full texture pack that re-textured everything! oh well. By the way great pack! don't every stop working
I've considered doing a full texture pack.. the problem is that this pack is specifically about the villagers, and I know a lot of people might get upset if I started messing with the pumpkins and emerald-ore, and other things that I wish I could fix. It's also not my full-time job to maintain a texture pack, so very often it will take me several weeks to "get around to" finding the time to work on retouching game graphics.
I'd probably have to make a second pack just for that.
Thanks so much for these, really great textures, fitting in perfectly with regular Minecraft textures.

Totally agree here.

There's only 4 days left to submit your opinions on the skin for the Crone. Let me know what you think!
