[1.7.2] [Re-Solved] How can i change the texture of a vanilla item?

[SackCastellon]

I want to know how can i change the texture of a vanilla item without editing vanilla classes (or using texture packs), something like the Metallurgy Mod did with the vanilla tools' textures.

 

Thanks for helping 

 

SOLUTION 1:

 

Just create your new texture, rename it as it is at minecraft vanilla textures folder (eg: to change texture of a Iron Ingot rename the texture as iron_ingot.png) and then place your new texture at [yourForgeFolder]\src\main\resources\assets\minecraft\textures\[items or blocks]\iron_ingot.png

 

SOLUTION 2:

 

You just will need to type

@EventHandler
public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) 
{
Items.[vanillaItem].setTextureName("[yourModID]:[newTexture]");
}

There is an asset folder in the minecraft jar file. you can change the picture using photoshop or gimp and just put that in your mod and it will replace your only minecraft textures

 

Hope this helps!

Hi

 

I've got a sneaking suspicion that this will stop working when you try to package your mod as a zip for releasing it.  If you plan to release your mod eventually, you might want to check that this method still works when you package it up, before you spend too much time on it.

 

I've never tried doing this myself so I can't suggest any other way, sorry.

Yes, you're right.  I'll do a quick reobfuscation to see if it still works.

 

Thanks

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you do:

 

Items.item.setTextureName("mod:other_texture");

 

Where "item" is the vanilla item, "mod" is your folder for textures, and "other_texture" is for your other texture.

You're rigth. It also works.
