[1.7.2] Animating a texture of a custom renderd block

[Looke81]

hey i have a custom rendered block that i want to animate the texture of but if i use the normal  16 x how many frames and use a mcmetta file it just used the whole texture do i need to change what it says in the .mcmetta file? mine is:

{

  "animation": {}

}

Well, it's a ".mcmeta" file, not a ".mcmetta" file, if that helps.

woops well i knew that ive just misspelt it in the post

Maybe this will help.  This is from fire_layer_0.png.mcmeta.

{
  "animation": {
    "frames": [

So does anyone have experience of using an animated texture for a custom model?...

i have no idea what i am doing

[Looke81]

Is there someway i can specify that it uses a 16x16 texture instead of all of the texture?

[Looke81]

I am using TileEntitySpecialRenderer

[Looke81]

So do you mean make the texture change when the damage value does and make my block keep changing its damage value?

[Looke81]

Err then how?is the a way to force the block to use a 16 x 16 texture then? Or a way to make it constantly change its texture? otherwise i don't have a clue.

[Looke81]

*sigh* (you know whats coming)

so...errr.....how do i do that?

[Looke81]

no but seriously im lost here.
