Texture handling

[DavidM]

I recall that Minecraft (used to?) have a texture map with all the block and item textures on it.

I believe this is done to circumvent the need of constantly binding to other textures when rendering different blocks.

However, this was done in the premise that all textures have the same dimension (16x16).

I am wondering how textures in modded Minecraft, when blocks with textures other than 16x16 pixels are added to the game, are handled.

Does the game still stitch all the textures together? Or does the game simply bind to a different texture each time a different block is rendered instead of having a large stitched texture map?

The game does not create a texture map for modded blocks.

 

But you could create a texture map yourself and use it for your blocks, if you want to.

For TESR models is it standard to use texture maps. Like head, body, arms etc. together in one file..

all blocks and items are stitched onto a big texture sheet. Regardless of size.

What class is responsible for the stitching?

And I've messed with it before.
