Allow custom merchant texture by merchant name via resource packs about farmingforblockheads HOT 3 CLOSED

IIRC villager skins don't match player skins so this wouldn't be as easy as just overriding the skin.

What I could probably do is make it try to use a texture from farmingforblockheads/textures/entity/merchant/<name>.png to allow modpack devs to supply their own skins to be loaded as a resource pack.

I like the idea, but understand there may be a code issue. Hope someone with some brains figures it out (which leaves me out).

Farming for Blockheads will now attempt to use the texture located at farmingforblockheads/textures/entity/merchant_<normalized_name>.png where normalized_name is the name of the merchant in all-lowercase, and with all non-ASCII letters or digits and spaces replaced with an underscore, e.g. emerald_muncher.
