## Description

Minecraft avatars. The API used is found at http://minotar.net and can be used freely

if a commenter uses the name Herobrine on a comment the skin of Herobrine in Minecraft
is used as an avatar.

Note: The avatars are case-sensitive. Eg: notch and Notch are different names.

Features:

 * Minecraft avatars for commenters and users
