I'm using the Faithful 32x pack, and re-texturing some of the items has become one of my favorite things. But, I've really wanted to re-texture and animate my flint and steel to make it look like a lighter, but I didn't know how. This video really helped!

Hey quick note for some people, when doing the strip for the animation for the iron ingot, make sure from the bottom of one iron ingot to the top of the one below it, make sure it is five pixels otherwise it will make the animation jump up and down.
@@pestelliludovico2810 You need to start counting the pixels down from the lowest point of the first iron ingot, then count to 5 downwards and place the other iron ingot there.
Thank you so much; this was very easy to follow for someone that doesn't have much knowledge about coding. I was able to animate one of my textures for my personal resource pack and it worked perfectly!
There is another modifyer, that is not shown hee: "interpolate": true, put it intu the { "animation": { } } together with a long frametime to get a smooth effect of blending one frame into another. You can see this at the little "led-lights" on a command-block. I also used it to mape the animations of lanterns and sea-lanterns more smooth.
@@spycat2113 There is no way to only animate lit tnt, so I animated it all, and made a writing for when to lit it and it counts down, I use it to get precise tnt jumps in bedwars
Dude thank you so much that time index thing that's going to save me so many frames I used to add in like tons and tons and tons of blank frames to get that same effect which is harder on the computer I wish I'd have known this a long time ago thank you
@Kàeda [PU] I think it’s only possible with optifine to animate armour. Check his animated GUIs tutorial I think it’s in there. If not it should be a similar method
Probably because you messed up the centering of the textures. Watch 3:10 again and be sure to do what he says. Your item is probably jumping up and down because one frame is a pixel too high or low.
I recommend piskel because there is an option to literally make it into the format at 3:10 automatically in the png section of export. Only bad thing is that you can't have semi-transparent things.
Because TNT has multiple files (tnt_top.png tnt_side.png tnt_bottom.png) is it possible to animate TNT? And if so, do I just do the same thing to each one of the TNT texture files? edit: how do you make it fullbright without changing your gamma setting (I heard it was some kind of light level file)
@Eric Jin yes you can animate tnt just make a mcmeta and png for each side. I don’t think it’s possible to change the brightness without changing the gamma. At least not without a shader. Just change the gamma level in your options.txt file inside the .minecraft folder
help with "frametime" for delay it uses minecrafts time setting ticks (20 ticks per 1 Second), So by putting "frametime": 20, it will deplay 1 frame per second and put it to 10 then 2 frames per sec
Help? I made an animated Diamond.png and followed all the steps very carefully, yet (1.14.4) I get the terrible box of purple and black that shows you something is a failure. I named the JPG right and everything. I replaced the normal diamond with my new one and I don't know what to do.
Nevermind! I figured it out. I am a Windows 10 user and my problem was the encoding format of my animation text file. I had to set the encoding preset to UTF-8, and that fixed the problem for me. Hopefully this helped!
Good Job on the Vids! Here's +1 sub! I've been creating a resource pack for my brother and he wants me to animate it! This tutorial REALLY helped... Also I feel bad for the people that work with MS Paint...
This is great, but is it possible to adjust general frametime and change how long time is spent on a specific frame? Or do I just set the the desired time by doing the index thing..?
Is it possible to have both a random texture, AND have it animated? like having different colors of glowstone that all have their own animations like having 3 different animated textures for the same block.
Sure, as long as you make the blockstates file that allows the block model to be randomly picked, and the dimensions of the texture of the side are [16x (multiple of 16)], you can have several randomly picked blocks, all animated, or even some animated, some static. Of course, the glowstone block model being "parent": "cube", this means all 6 sides will take the same texture, so you don't have to worry about some sides being animated and some not, unless you explicitly tell the model to look like that!
can someone give me the script where I can change the frametime and the frames? rn I have this: { "animation": {frames: [ { index: 0, time:60}, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ] } } I also want to edit the frametime to 7 but idk where to put it
I keep getting the missing texture tiles. I put it as 4 frames. 16x64. Its all equal. I have the mcmeta file as this: { "animation": {} } { "animation": { "frametime": .4 } } And I named it diamond.png.mcmeta. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
@@enchanted_games Need help bro!

Make sure the code that you put in is the only stuff in the notes for the notepad, this is how I fixed this problem for myself. (Yes I know this is 10 months late but hopefully this will help anyone passing by with this problem.)
you have to have an mcmeta file after it, so for example: photo: iron_ingot.png mcmeta file: iron_ingot.png.mcmeta i hope this helped reply back if you have any questions
I use nova skin for the animated textures, for me theres already frames for me to make the animation. Once i make the png file, its not vertical and lined up, its just a square with the frames i created. i followed everything in the video, and i have optifine with animated textures on. Though when i go in game its just a box with individual frames. pls help.
Thank You so much, there is a ton of other videos that are horrible, like one video said instead of doing on the mcmeta file dou should name it iron_ingot_png.mcmeta like it should be .png not _png so thanks you gained a like and sub
When I use it in Minecraft, the texture is just *gone*, you know the purple and black thing... I'm on Windows and I don't understand why it doesn't work.
how do i make the size of the frame bigger then 16x16? my item texture that i want to animate is bigger then 16x16 and the animation in game is working but not like i want it to look like
Good question man. In order to create an animation with a dimension other than 16x16, you need to create the size of your animation frames image to match your dimensions. The width is always the resolution of your image; if it is 32x32 than your width is going to be 32. The height is always the width multiplied by the number of animation frames that you want to have (32 x N). I just used 32x32 as an example however it can be any resolution (64, 128, 256, etc..). Hopefully that makes sense! To create the image size just use your image editing software to set the dimensions of your animation frame image.
bruh, am kinda mad rn. I spent like 3 hours doing a animation it was for the gui. I was wondering why it wasn't working.... am commit sewer dye now bye

the "interpolate": true parameter gives the item a texture shifting/blending effect like prismarine, and it allows ambient color shifting. :)
