I'd like to take an item and have an animated texture for it. Its not like the clock or the compass that's based on a value to determine its texture, but its constantly changing like Thermal Expansions Fluxed Phytogro. Is there a good place to go to get some insight on how to do that?

Take a look at that items texture along with the .mcmeta file with the same name as the image. Or look at Minecraft's water/lava texture and their .mcmeta file.

So, I went and found what you were talking about, and it removed the FML.TEXTURE_ERRORS about "broken aspect ratio and not an animation", however, the textures still aren't there. I'm assuming there's something I'm supposed to put in the item's class, what might that be?

Figured it out, missed a model initialization function call. All is well! Thanks for your help
