New in this (3.1.1) release:

• Added "Item" spawning
  • Yes! Now you can now finally spawn swords, arrows, potatoes, and more! See this demo video.
  • This works by generating meshes with the solidify modifier from source images. You can either load an item based on the current texture/resource pack (defaults to Vanilla Minecraft), or by selecting any arbitrary image from a file.
  • It currently can run slowly for higher resolution items or highly "filled in" items, future updates will aim to improve this.
  • Feature built in collaboration with Nils Söderman and his Minecraft Item Spawner.
• Added "Scale UV Faces" operator for scaling individual UV faces about their own origin.
  • The "amount" factor is in the F6 / redo-last menu, defaults to scaling by 0.75.
  • Must be in edit mode, demo here.
• Added "Select/Delete Alpha Faces" operator, allowing you to quickly select and delete faces of a UV-unwrapped mesh which are transparent on the active image.
  • Must be in edit mode, demo here.
• Renamed mcprep_custom_texturepack_path to mcprep_texturepack_path.
• New and improved mobs!
  • Added a "Simple Player" mob, for bare bones, minimally rigged characters. No eyes, making it useful for adding player skins without editing to account for eyes.
  • Added a "Shapekey Player" mob, which is uniquely useful for background characters and crowd simulations.
    • This ultimate light-weight "rig" doesn't use any armatures, all the actions are animated from pre-made shapekeys. A default loop of walking and running cycles are setup, which can be layered with other actions like head turns or other hand motions.
    • Several default looping animations have been setup, which can be layered on top of other mini actions or other custom actions.
  • Added several new Passive mobs, thanks to Boxscape studios!
  • Fix how Storymode mob and the Shulker mob spawn
• MCprep can now automatically convert pre 1.8 skin layouts to the new layered format!
  • When installing via Add Skin or Apply Skin from Username, look for the tickbox option "Convert layouts" which is now default to on.
  • Will not convert or overwrite existing files, conversion only happens when "installing" a skin which copies a source file into the active skin folder (under advanced settings, defaulting in the MCprep addon folder)
• Improved how the spawner UI lists are loaded, now once you load them once, they are saved (cached) for future times you open the blender file.
  • Additionally, uncategorized mobs now install and load correctly
  • Fixed issue to prevent extra objects (typically bone shapes) from being added into the scene #2
• Placing a meshswap asset (e.g. from Shift-A) with Make Duplicates Real (default) on now removes the extra empty previously added.
• Fixed some other minor bugs, such as those report here (#58 (comment)) and a few reported via user error reporting:
  • Error would occur when prepping materials in blender internal with objects selected that had non-image based textures
  • Error would occur when installing a skin from file that was already installed (while illogical and pointless to do this, at the very least shouldn't create an error)
• If you already have MCprep v3.1.0 install, then you should be prompted to install the update directly!
