\nPaintings in this resourcepack are composed of 16 by 16 pixels tiles, although the texture can be upscaled.<\/p>\n
\nPlace your textures (in png format) into `assetsminecrafttexturesitempaintings` directory inside the resource pack. They can also be placed inside their own subdirectory to keep them organized.<\/p>\n
\nCreate a new .json file for each painting you want to add in `assetsminecraftmodelsitempaintings`. You can also place this files inside of their own subdirectory.<\/p>\n
\n “parent”: “item\/paintings\/master_painting”,
\n “credit”: “YOUR_NAME”,
\n “texture_size”: [16, 16],
\n “textures”: {
\n “0”: “item\/paintings\/YOUR_TEXTURE”,
\n “1”: “painting\/back”,
\n “particle”: “item\/paintings\/YOUR_TEXTURE”
\n }
\n }<\/p>\n
\n– “texture_size”: Change this numbers if your painting is not 16 by 16 pixels.
\n– “0” and “particle”: Change _YOUR_TEXTURE_ for the name of your texture withouth the `.png` extensions. If you placed the textures inside of a directory you also have to include it.<\/p>\n
\nEdit `assetsminecraftmodelsitempainting.json` and add a comma after the last _predicate_ line and paste the following code.<\/p>\n
\n– _MY_INDEX_: for the index of the new painting, make sure they are not repeated or it will override another painting.
\n– _MY_MODEL_: change my model for the name of the `.json` file you created in the previous step, without the file extensions. If you placed your file inside of a directory remember to include it as well.<\/p>\n
