HIS NAME... IS STEVE. (technically, it's Steve?.)

This is 1.7.10 we're talking about, download 1.8 pre-1 and see if it's fixed. You may have to enable snapshots.

I am in 1.8-pre, I think I set the wrong version there, let me fix that. Also according to my bro, the new minecraft default skin is called Alex, and that was the skin showing.
