They make me think of eyes/eyebrows, or maybe a pair of wings

You can use a predicate (wiki article here). For instance, if you want to test for wool and are using the namespace "example", you could create a file at /data/example/predicates/holding_wool.json and put this in it:
{
"condition": "minecraft:entity_properties",
"entity":"this",
"predicate": {
"equipment": {
"mainhand": {
"tag": "minecraft:wool"
}
}
}
}

And then run a command like this:
/execute as @a[​predicate=example:holding_wool] run ...

Discussions/General How did you come up with your Online Username?

• Level 52 : Grandmaster Pixel Painter

I have a few different usernames that I use in various places:

• craftykids -- Chosen by my mom for my Minecraft account because she assumed my siblings would use it too; I couldn't change it in 2011, eventually got used to it, and have continued using it for Minecraft stuff
• Zatnik -- The (kind of random) name of a planeswalker from a Magic: The Gathering fan-set that I had worked on with a friend
• Arctenik -- A combination of "Zatnik" and "Arctemia", the latter being one of my Terraria characters, whose name I generated (using a program I wrote) based on other names I associate with myself; I've been trying to switch to this instead of Zatnik because there happens to be someone else on the internet who was using the name Zatnik before I was

Discussions/Creations What do you create on scratch?

I've learned other programming languages since I first joined Scratch, so most of my Scratch projects these days kinda test the language's limits. :-P (If you're curious, my profile is here, though a lot of my projects don't quite work in Scratch 3.0.)

Recently, I've been working on a project for running/editing programs in the Piet programming language (a "for fun" language that uses images as code), which will hopefully be posted at...some point.

I started playing in Beta 1.3_01, so those versions are what I think of as like....the iconic Minecraft experience. :-P

Minecraft/Discussion What's your most nostalgic memory in Minecraft?

The first time I (properly) played Minecraft was on a server at a friend's birthday party, and that server was one of the main worlds I played on initially. I think my most nostalgic Minecraft memories are probably of playing on that server with Painterly Pack.

I still have some screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/5JdHUqW

(The other memories that might qualify are of playing on a different friend's server, where I was an op and helped make an underground labyrinth and a big looping railway, among other things.)

Spiders are very good, but I am unfortunately scared of having them right next to me.

PMC/Discussion What inspired you to choose your PMC name?

• Level 52 : Grandmaster Pixel Painter

I chose "craftykids" because that's what my Minecraft username was. :-P The reason I have that as my Minecraft username is that when my mom created the account, she expected it to be used by my siblings as well, and since this was in 2011 I couldn't change the name.

Minecraft/Discussion What Was Your First Minecraft Name?

I've always been craftykids, even though I didn't choose that name and initially disliked it -- my mom created my account expecting it to be used by my siblings as well, and since this was in 2011, I couldn't change it. I got used to it, though, and even though now I can change it, I don't have anything better to change it to. :-P

I don't actually play Minecraft much anymore, but I still love it, because it's been a major positive force in my life and continues to be a source of creative inspiration.

The first time I played Minecraft was at a birthday party where we did a treasure hunt on a server, and IIRC the first thing I did was get killed by cactus, and then later I lost the other people while trying to follow a compass across an ocean and got sidetracked mining ores in a cave, and then had to be teleported to the other people to catch up with them.

I pronounce it something like "eh-lih-trah", because I'm pretty sure that's the standard pronunciation of the English word "elytra". :-P

Communities/Skinning What was your first self-made skin?
craftykids
• 04/14/2019 9:40 pm
• Level 52 : Grandmaster Pixel Painter

The first skin I made that wasn't experimental or highly derivative of the default skin was "craftykids":



It started out as a version of the Steve skin with modified clothes. I ended up changing most of the rest of it too (and making it match the Steve skin in my texture pack), but the hair stayed the same shape, and the pants kept the same patterns on them. It's supposed to look like me, but its skin color is more brown than mine, because I assumed that Steve had the same skin color as me. :-P

Waffles are good and are probably better than pancakes in some contexts, but I think that in general I prefer pancakes just because of their versatility.

Does it need to be done with only one command block? If not, could you have one command block run the command "testfor @a[score_Two1=1,score_Two1_min=1]", and have it pointing to a chain command block that runs the setblock command?

PMC/Discussion Should I delete my old skins?

Personally, I would keep them, if only as a record of the past. Really, though, it's up to you and how you want to present yourself. If you want to keep other people from seeing them but are worried you might want the submissions for some reason in the future, you could probably just edit them and uncheck the "publish live" option.

It would probably be better to use a resource pack than to replace the files in the JAR. To do that you can:

• Create a folder in your resourcepacks folder. Give it whatever name you want the resource pack to have. It'll be the resource pack's root folder.
  
  
• Inside the root folder, create a plain text file named pack.mcmeta (make sure that's its actual full name and that there isn't a hidden ".txt" extension or anything), and put this text in it:{ "pack": { "pack_format": 1, "description": "The default look of Minecraft" }}
  
  
• Put alex.png and steve.png in <root folder>/assets/minecraft/textures/entity
  
  
You should then be able to select the resource pack in-game and have the skins change, assuming my instructions were clear enough. :-P
