Using vanilla Minecraft textures

[vemerion]

Hello everyone!

 

I have a question which is not directly related to forge, but to Minecraft modding in general. So, I am making a mod that adds creatures which are based on vanilla block, and thus these creatures have textures similar to or identical to some vanilla Minecraft textures. My question is therefore: Is it accepted to use modified vanilla textures in modding, or should I make my own textures completely from scratch?

 

Thanks!

You should, but just in case you need some vanilla assets, you can use a ResourceLocation with "minecraft" as the first parameter, than the path of the asset.

Thank you for your response, that was the conclusion I also came to. Now I just need to fire up GIMP for the first time in years and try to make something not too awful
