I got a purchased version of the game a few days ago and have been playing around with making my own avatar skins.
I did have a question however for the community, is it possible to make parts of your avatar transparent.

Lets say I wanted to do, a floating brain with a spine coming from it, I'd change the top/bottom/left/right/front/and back of the head and then put like a spine on the body, but say I don't want to show the arms or legs, is that possible?
I tried just erasing blocks but they appear as white, making them black appears as black, etc.

Unfortunately, no, you cannot

Unfortunately, no, you cannot make your body transparent at all. The only part you can make Transparent is the Crown (The area next to your head). I was also disappointed by this because I wanted to make a 02 Skin.

I just started looking around

I just started looking around and apparently there IS a way to do it, though I'm not sure how they achieved this.

Go to a skins page and look for the skeleton:
http://skins.tkte.ch/

It's rib cage has the in between bits as transparent.

Also the "flying dice" have just the head as a dice that's floating in the air.

The skin preview Java applet

The skin preview Java applet shows transparency. But the transparency will not work in-game.

Ah, that's a shame. Perhaps

Ah, that's a shame. Perhaps the dev's will allow this in future installments. I'll test it out later when I have a friend on that can confirm/deny this form me (after applying one of said skins of course.)

it is possible

Because i have a skin called "Invisible Man"

you can look for this skin although its not called "invisible man"

i found it in the Skin Index - or the skindex

you can find it faster if you use ctrl + f

when you do save the file

then upload it

or you can preview it by clicking the image
but thats pretty useless because it is invisible and you cannot see anything

the skindex has some incredibly crazy skins so you may be able to find some stupid looking ones like floating eyes or skeleton or pigs

Hat is the only part that will be transparent in game.

And I quote the "skinedit" tool...

"Right Mouse: Erase. Only the hat supports [transparency] in game."
So no, even using the skinedit tool will still not allow you to make an invisible man.
Try this: Make a skin with all transparency, upload it to your preferences. Now your guy will be gone. Now start up Minecraft, load up a map or join a server, take a look at yourself. You won't be invisible. Great.
Not what you wanted.
NOTE: This was tested with the latest version of Minecraft Alpha.

Alpha layers

Do note that the skin that will appear will be the picture that you used before you made it completely transparent... for example if I took a completely white image and applied transparency over all of it and loaded it up on minecraft, my character will be completely white. This means that the alpha layers are being completely ignored for the body.

I'm glad it doesn't support transparency.

You might want to use it for a floating head or something alongst those lines, but there will be people who'll just make a 100% invisible character.

transparency

I recently got a "boo" skin from skindex and it looks like it was floating in the preview.  But when I tried it out, it just came up as a black body instead of transparent.
