Hey people.

i am working on a mod and i feel like it will have alot of items in it when i complete the mod. and i am getting tired of creating a new png file for each item i make. and i have seen this before so i know its possible but how do i create a sprite sheet for my new items?

fyi i am using ModLoader if that changes anything.

If you want to use a sprite sheet, Minecraft Forge has a nice API for doing that.

I think you would have to edit Item.java to make your new setIconCoord() replica to be readable into the item's texture.

I personally don't like MinecraftForge but it works. There's also an api called "ItemSprite API" by Scokeev.

Those API's are behind in the 1.0 zone though

I would recommend MinecraftForge because it's allot easier to understand and easier to code. Very simple API that almost EVERY modder uses!
