Animations with Skins

I was hoping that we could add animations to our skins to have a little more attraction. Now of course this can’t be done with ease because the game would probably lag out if there were a lot of people so I came up with this: If we can’t be given the option to animate our skins normally and since resource packs have been getting an upgrade with animations along with more items like Paintings and Totems of Undying, can we make it so that we can see our animations with a custom resource pack? If so then that would be perfect but if we can be given the option to animate our skins normally then I would want to suggest a setting button for turning the animation on and off.

  Blocks such as lava, water and sea lanterns, among other blocks and items, already have animated textures. It's pulled off by stacking individual frames on top of each other in the image file. With that in mind, I have a potential solution, although it might take up more space, as well as some technical know-how. Have a standard skin file, and any body part that needs to be animated would require it's own separate file, layered similar to the above mentioned blocks. Technically speaking, that would potentially mean if every piece was animated, both the base and outer layers, would total 12 files. The standard skin on those parts would be transparent to accommodate these files, and anything static would still be there. It's a lot to suggest, but hopefully it makes sense
