[1.6.4] Get the Resource/Resource location of any item.

[lexwebb]

Is it possible to get the Resource I.e texture of any item without making a specific reference inside the class?

 

Preferably i'd need to be able to get the resource or ResourceLocation of any item, be it vanilla or a mod item.

 

If i cannot do this, is there an easy way to get the associated .png of an Item.

 

I've tried looking around in the RenderManager but haven't had much luck.

Does .getIconFromDamage(0) work?

[lexwebb]

yes thanks that does allow me to get the icon.

 

My real need is to get a direct path to the .png file, do you know how i can get that from an Icon?

What are even trying to do?

 

Why not just go to Minecraft assets. c:

Well i'm basically making a 3D printer, i need direct access to the .png's to be able to get each pixel of the images colour, which will be used to create a dynamic texture for a model that represents one pixel. These pixel blocks will be slowly built up by the printer, Similar to the Sync mod builds its player modes, except i want mine to be coloured in relation to the item being printed.

 

I don't want to link directly through to assets, as i will have to make a long list containing the data of which .png links to which Item, and if I want to dynamically add mod items, that isn't going to work.

Then why not look iChun's Sync mod, as look how he does it?

[lexwebb]

Because he doesn't texture the blocks, he only textures the full biped.

 

+ he's using skins, not item textures.

Hi

 

There is some discussion around textures and paths in here.  It was fairly complicated to figure out.

You might be able to find a way for your code to call makeFullPath and get the full path.

Item#getTextureName()?

 

Then pass that to new ResourceLocation()

Sorry for necrobumping this thread, but I was wondering how I'd do this in 1.12, because Item.getTextureLocation() doesn't exist anymore.

Items and blocks no longer have textures, they now have models.

 

Use RenderItem#getItemModelWithOverrides to get the model for an item.

How can I display them in world? I wanted to draw a quad and then show an item texture in it... How can I do that with models?
