MC Patcher doesn't need any fixes in its code, the antivirus software you're using does. Throughout all the years I've been different using antivirus software, all they have done is give false positives. It's almost better to not use any in the first place, you'll be able to use some more RAM anyway.
I don't use Antiy-AVL... I use NIS 2012, which only flagged this file for "lack of usage." The scan I am pointing at, if you click the link, is a virustotal.com scan. In the OP we are told to look at a response that said (and I'm paraphrasing) "virustotal.com comes up with zero flags." Well, I am pointing out that it NO LONGER GETS ZERO FLAGS. Something has changed, because Antiy-AVL was used in the scan during that response as well, when nothing was flagged. Something has changed.
I would be irresponsible not to point out a possible keylogger/trojan infection that hundreds (maybe thousands) of people have chosen to ignore with their scanners. This is something that can be corrected by the mod creator, by finding what is NOW causing the flag, and fixing it. Perhaps submitting the file for analysis is an option, but I don't write software, so I am not an expert in dealing with resolving scanner false-positives. I am going to run it in a sand-boxed environment, to see if it does install the ruftar torjan. I'll let everyone know what happens.
The way this trojan behaves, the modder may be infected and not even know it. After having my WoW account hacked twice, I am not taking chances with possible keyloggers. FYI, virustotal.com is the scanner Symantec requires we use when reporting false-positives... If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me.
Just ran it sand-boxed... As far as I can tell, it does not access the registry, so it is probably safe. The flag should still be taken seriously and looked into though.
What does the "outline mode" do? i found it in the options menu but I have no idea what it changes.
Also, any way to get randomized tall grass to work with Optifine? it seems to be the only Misa's feature that doesn't work with Optifine
(I really am hoping for an Optifine "light" without all this annoying MCpatcher mimic stuff)
1. With connected textures, is there any way to use 2 functions at the same block? I've created textures for the bookshelf to connect in any possible direction (up and sides), but I would also like to change the texture of the TOP of the bookshelf (using method=random, tiles= just one, faces=top), but this does not work with CTM at the same time...
2. Ok I realise this is kinda the same problem; I want to use CTM and Random at the same time. I want for example grass to connect and have an edge around it. But I also want the grass texture to be random within the area...
3. I want to use random ANIMATIONS. For example in the lava, I want random bubbles which are animated of course, I don't want them to say there all the time.
4. Very sad the CTM only works with standard blocks. I want to build a ladder which connects to ladders above and below instead of a standard ladder which always connects and looks strange at each ends.
5. It would be cool if there would be a CTMEdge function! for example when sand, stone etc. meets grass, there would be an edge with grass overlaying the sand, stone etc.
1. Try making the properties file say terrain###.properties, where the ### is the tile number on the terrain sheet for the book side of the bookshelf, and a different terrain###.properties where the ### is the top of the bookshelf on the terrain.png.
2. Just make the outside pixels of each grass texture so that they are all the same, so that all can connect to each other (see my new nether on my patch download on my pack, but I've not got screenshots yet).
3. Easy, make a CTM for the lava with the random method, then make animations that affect the tiles on the ctmlava.png
4. I'm sure you can do that using terrain###.properties as opposed to block###?
5. That's a heck of a lot of variables there ... Yes, it'd be cool, but think about it from the point of view of writing the .properties file. "If block a = this, then use this texture. If a=that, use this one. If a= cheese, use this one ... etc, ad infinitum.
Hope this helps!
Personally I just can't wait for it to work for mod terrain textures!
Custom Colors mod! Texture pack authors can now customize many colors in the game including swamps, lighting, and more. See Misa's texture pack for examples. HD texture pack and font support. Custom terrain and item animations for any tile, including water, lava, and portals. MrMessiah's BetterGrass mod. Balthichou's RandomMobs mod. Connected Textures mod. Glass panes not yet supported. Ability to load other mods like ModLoader. See "Installing other Mods" for details. Ability to save and load mod profiles and switch between them easily. Also organize your mods by the Minecraft version they go with.
Notes and Recent Changes:
Connected Textures Mod! More customization options in 2.3.6. Custom sign text and xp orb colors. New program icon courtesy of julianfkelly. Animate ALL the textures! Now you can apply custom animations to any texture in the game.
Basic Instructions:
Download the correct version of the patcher for your OS.
Double-click the patcher. You should see this:
If you would like Better Grass (full grass texture on the sides of grass blocks next to other grass blocks), check the box next to Better Grass.
Click Patch. You do not need to select a texture pack at this point.
Start the game.
Click Mods and Texture Packs.
Click Open Texture Packs folder. If nothing happens, just go to the texturepacks folder in .minecraft instead.
Copy all your texture packs into that folder.
Enjoy switching between texture packs without repatching the game!

I do not know what causes this bug. It affects some people but not others. As a workaround, try this
Download the jar version (not the exe)
Use WinZip, 7-zip, etc., to unpack the jar into its own folder, say mcpatcher-2.2.0.
In the folder, right-click and create new text file called mcpatcher.bat. Make sure you have file extensions turned on so you are creating mcpatcher.bat and not mcpatcher.bat.txt.
Edit the file in notepad and copy the following into it:
@echo off
java com.pclewis.mcpatcher.MCPatcher
pause
Save the file and exit.
The mcpatcher-2.2.0 folder should look like this:
com
javassist
META-INF
resources
mcpatcher.bat
Double-click mcpatcher.bat. The patcher window should appear.
Installing other Mods:
It is possible to install other mods straight from the patcher. This is a convenience feature only. The patcher only copies the mod files into minecraft.jar for you. It does not and cannot do anything to make other mods compatible with any version of the game other than the one they were written for.
In the main patcher window, click the Add (+) button.
Select the zip file containing the mod you wish to apply. In this example, we'll use ModLoader.
Click Ok.
Next a window showing the list of files that will be added will appear. This is mainly informational. Confirm that the right files are listed and click Ok.
The main patcher window should look like this now:
Now we're going to add a second mod, zombe's mod pack. This will illustrate two important things: How to add just a subfolder from a mod and how to resolve mod conflicts.
Click the Add (+) button again.
Choose the zombe mod pack zip.
The subfolder window appears again. This time there are multiple subfolders to choose from. If you blindly add everything from the zip, it will not work. Instead, select the classes folder and click Ok.
Next the list of files to be added is shown. Notice this time how files are being copied from the classes folder into the root of minecraft.jar.
Now we have a slight problem. Both ModLoader and zombe's contain aaa.class. If you try to patch at this point, you will get a warning about the conflict.
You can ignore this warning and patch anyway. Or you can fix it by removing aaa.class from ModLoader. Double-click ModLoader and the list of files will appear again. Select aaa.class and click the Remove (-) button. Note: Doing this does not change the original ModLoader.zip file, only the list of files that will be copied from it.
The file list should now look like this. Click Ok.
The main patcher window should look like this:
Click Patch and run the game!
FAQ / Troubleshooting
My virus scanner says the patcher has a virus!
Some scanners detect WS.Reputation.1. It is a false positive that can be ignored. WS.Reputation.1 isn't so much a virus as it is the scanner saying "This file is new, so I don't trust it." See this post by shinji257 for more information.
HD Textures or one of the other mods is greyed out.
If you install mods by hand before running the patcher, you may run into this problem. Start from a clean minecraft.jar instead and this should never happen. Delete the bin folder in .minecraft and redownload it. Try patching again first without any mods. If that works, then add mods one at a time using the patcher as described above.
The grass blocks are grey when I enable Better Grass.
This happens when you install ModLoader after patching. Use the patcher instead, and it will install ModLoader properly. See above section "Installing other Mods" for details.
I installed XXX Mod using the patcher and now the game crashes.
Try using the Up/Down arrows in the patcher to apply mods in a different order. In my experience, putting other mods before HD Textures, etc., (which is the default behavior) works better, but you can also try moving them after.
I tried installing XXX Mod both above and below HD Textures, etc., and it didn't work.
If you tried installing both ways and it didn't work, then you're out of luck. You'll have to choose between HD textures and the other mod. Unless the source code for the mod is available, I probably won't be able to fix the incompatibility.
All this patching, repatching, installing, and uninstalling mods has made a mess of things. Now I just want to start fresh.
Delete the bin folder in your .minecraft directory and run the game's launcher again to redownload everything. If the game still crashes, delete options.txt as well to force the game to use the default textures again. You will have to redo your settings and key mappings if you do this.
The "Open Texture Packs Folder" button in the game doesn't work. / Where do I put my texture packs?
Navigate to the appropriate folder for your OS. The texturepacks folder will be in there.
Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\.minecraft
Windows Vista/7 - C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft
MacOS - From your home directory, go to Library -> Application Support -> minecraft
Linux - ~/.minecraft
As a shortcut, in Windows, you can also press Windows key+R, then type %APPDATA%\.minecraft\texturepacks and hit Enter.
When I select a particular texture pack, nothing changes.
Open the texture pack's .zip file and check that the files are in the right place. terrain.png should be in the root of the zip. If the zip contains a single folder with everything under it, it will not work. Take everything out of the folder and zip it back up. Other than that, do not unzip texture packs. Simply download them and place the .zip file as-is into the texturepacks folder.
Correctly zipped pack:
Incorrectly zipped pack:
(thanks to Gestankfaust for the screenshots)
The game crashes with an out of memory error or I get white boxes in place of some of the textures.
This mainly happens with 32-bit OSes and 256x texture packs, but there are things you can try:
If you are running a 64-bit OS, download the 64-bit version of Java. For Windows it is available here.. The first few lines of the patcher log tell you what version of Java you are running.
In the patcher options panel, there is an option to set the Java heap size. If you are running 32-bit, decrease the value to 768. If you are running 64-bit, try increasing it to 2048 or 3072. Note: This setting only affects the Test Minecraft button.
Uncheck "Use texture cache" on the MCPatcher Options tab. This will make switching packs slower, but it uses less memory.
Multiplayer does not work / Achievements are not saved / I get the "Unlicensed copy or logged in from another location" message when using the Test Minecraft button.
That's because the Test Minecraft button does not log in. It is useful for testing that the patcher worked, but if you want multiplayer or achievements, use the normal game launcher.
Does this work with version x.y.z of Minecraft?
Unlike most mods, MCPatcher is designed to be version-independent. It should work across multiple versions of the game, theoretically as far back as the 2010 Halloween update. When a new version of the game comes out, before breathlessly posting to ask when MCPatcher will be updated, just try running the version you have. Most of the time it will work as-is and you'll save yourself some unnecessary waiting.
I have a different problem not mentioned here.
Before posting, please Google for "mcpatcher other keywords site:minecraftforum.net" to see if your question has already been answered. If you do post, please include the log in your post as well.

Information for Texture Pack Authors
HD Textures
For the most part, you create an HD texture pack the same way you create a non-HD one. This thread has a list of the files in a typical texture pack.
Texture files within a pack can be different sizes. MCPatcher uses the largest and scales everything up to that size. This means that a 32x terrain.png and 32x items.png will be scaled to 128x if used in a pack with a 128x custom water texture.
These are the files that are considering when calculating the tile size:
width(terrain.png) / 16
width(gui/items.png) / 16
width(custom_*.png)
Custom Animations
Custom animations are read from these files, all in the anim/ folder of the texture pack .zip (root folder also works):
custom_water_still.png, custom_water_flowing.png - still and flowing water
custom_lava_still.png, custom_lava_flowing.png - still and flowing lava
custom_portal.png - portal animation
custom_fire_n_s.png, custom_fire_e_w.png - the north-south and east-west sides of fire blocks, respectively
custom_terrain_###.png - animation for any tile in terrain.png. ### is the tile index (0-255), not a block or item ID
custom_item_###.png - animation for any tile in items.png. ### is the tile index (0-255), not a block or item ID
Each image should be a vertical strip of separate frames. The width should match the tile size of the texture pack, but if it doesn't it will be resized to match. See this thread for a more detailed explanation.
Each custom animation may also specify its animation speed and frame order. Create a text file with the same name as the animation but change .png to .properties. In the file, make a series of entries
tile.X=Y
duration.X=Z
X starts at 0 and represents the order you want frames to display in. Y in the tile number in the animation .png file. The first tile is 0, the second is 1, etc. Z is the duration you want that frame displayed, in game ticks (if omitted, duration is assumed to be 1 for that frame). For example, to make an animation with 3 tiles, run on a 5-frame animation with a pause in the middle, the .properties file might look like this:
NEW! In addition, you may create a custom animation for any texture in the game. Create a .properties file in the anim/ folder of your texture pack. In it, supply the source and destination texture, along with coordinates of the area you wish to animate. The following example animates the first painting in kz.png.
from is the location of your custom animation. to is the texture you wish to animate. x, y, w, h are the coordinates of the rectangular area of that texture. The width of the from texture should be equal to the value of w; if not, it will be scaled automatically. You can have many different animations applied to the same texture by creating separate properties files for each. The properties file can also contain tile order and speed information as described above.
Random Mobs Balthichou's RandomMobs mod is now included by default. You may include multiple skins for the same mob and the game will automatically pick one at random. Add a number to the end of the filename before the .png, e.g., /mob/creeper2.png. Start at number 2 and do not skip any numbers. For the wolf textures, make sure you include the same number of wolf, wolf_tame, and wolf_angry textures or it will look strange when a wolf changes moods.
HD Fonts
In 2.2.0, I changed how the font widths are calculated. This causes existing custom fonts to be more spaced out. If you've added invisible "spacer pixels" to the edges of characters to get the spacing you want in the past, you'll probably want to take them out. To allow for more control over the widths of individual characters, I have included a way to specify them manually. Create a text file called /font/default.properties or /font/alternate.properties. Each line in this file specifies the width of a character:
width.<ascii value="" 0-255="">=<width 0-8="">
For example, to specify the widths of capital A, B, and C, you might use
width.65=5.9
width.66=5
width.67=5.25
Values can be floating point numbers (Notch's original code only supported integer widths) and range from 0-8 regardless of the resolution of the font. You do not need to specify widths for all characters, only ones where you want to override the default width.
The space character is special. Its default width is 1/2 of the average of the widths of A-Z, a-z, and 0-9. This makes the spacing between words match the overall width of the font. However you can override this the same way, by setting width.32 to a custom value.
Custom Colors (sample color.properties)
After hearing many complaints about the swamp colors introduced in 1.9 I developed the Custom Colors mod to allow texture pack authors to customize, not just swamps, but many of the games hardcoded colors. Here are the files you will need to include in the texture pack:
/color.properties:
This text file allows you to specify colors for potions, spawner eggs, lilypads, and a base color for water particle effects (drops, splashes, and bubbles). A template file with the game's default values is available here. See the # comments above each value for a description of how it is used in game.
/misc/redstonecolor.png:
This is a 16x1 bitmap used for redstone wiring and particle effects. Other redstone colors (torches, repeaters, etc.) are still in terrain.png / items.png as usual. The x-axis of the redstonecolor.png bitmap represents the current strength. 0 is fully off, 15 is fully on.
/misc/stemcolor.png:
This is an 8x1 bitmap used for pumpkin and melon stems at each growth stage. 0 is a sprout, 7 is fully grown.
/misc/lavadropcolor.png:
This is a bitmap used for the lava drop particle effect as it cools during its fall. The height should be 1 pixel but the width can be anything. The x-axis represents the particle's age in game ticks (about 1/20th of a second). Lava drop particles are generally not visible for the first 40 ticks or so because they start out embedded in the block above. 90 pixels is a good width. If the particle lives longer than the width of the image, the last pixel is used for the remaining time.
/misc/myceliumparticlecolor.png:
Used for the particle effect created by mycelium blocks. This image can be any size. A random color is chosen from this bitmap for each new particle.
/misc/xporbcolor.png:
Used for the experience orbs. This image can be any size. The color chosen will move in a sinusoidal pattern from (0,0) to the end of the image. The speed of the sine wave is slowed down by a factor of 4 to allow texture packs to have slower pulsing xp orbs than the default. If you want to keep the default speed, simply copy your image 4 times vertically.
/misc/swampgrasscolor and /misc/swampfoliagecolor:
256x256 biome palettes used in swampy areas. They work just like their non-swamp counterparts.
/misc/pinecolor and /misc/birchcolor:
Biome color palettes for pine and birch leaves. The pixel at (127, 127) is used for the default color when the block is held or in inventory.
/misc/watercolorX.png:
Biome color palette for water. Note the capital X in the filename to prevent the default watercolor.png from being used accidentally.
Other biome palettes:
You can also assign a custom biome palette to any standard block. Here "standard" means any block that does not already have its own special coloring. In MCP terms, this is any Block subclass that does not override the colorMultiplier method. Create a 256x256 bitmap, then in color.properties add a line
palette.block.<path>=<list of="" block="" ids="">
For example, to use /misc/stonecolor.png with all stone and ore blocks, use
To further restrict the palette by block metadata, use the syntax <id>:<metadata>, e.g., 43 would affect all double slabs, 43:1 would apply to only sandstone double slabs.
/environment/lightmap-1.png: (Nether)
/environment/lightmap0.png: (Overworld)
/environment/lightmap1.png: (The End)
These are custom lighting palettes for each world. The height must be exactly 32 pixels but they can be any width. Each bitmap actually consists of two palettes, but we'll get into that later.
First an explanation of how lighting normally works in Minecraft. Every block has two light values from 0 to 15 assigned to it, one for sky brightness and one for torch brightness. A block in direct sunlight has a sky value of 15. A block in the shade directly adjacent to it has a value of 14 and so on. Blocks deep underground far from any block that can see the sky have sky brightness 0. Similarly for torches. A torch block has light value 14 and the light value drops by 1 each block away from it.
To generate the lighting you actually see in game, Minecraft uses a 16x16 lightmap. Its axes correspond to the 16 light levels of each type. If a block has torch brightness x and sky brightness y, it uses (x,y) for its lightmap coordinates. The lightmap is not in any of the game's files but is generated each frame. You may have found that light_normal.png file in minecraft.jar, but it is not used at all. Two variables affect the lightmap, the time of day and the torch flicker. Minecraft implements night and day and torch flicker by making the entire lightmap darker or lighter rather than by adjusting the sky/torch brightness values.
So how does MCPatcher convert lightmap0.png into a 16x16 lightmap? Remember your palette must be exactly 32 pixels high, but can be any width. The top 16 rows represent sunlight and the bottom 16 represent torchlight. Two columns, 16 pixels from the top half and 16 pixels from the bottom half, are chosen to form the axes of the final 16x16 lightmap used for rendering.
In the top half, the left-hand side represents night and the right-hand side represents day, with the dusk/dawn transitions in between. The very far right of the palette represents lightning flashes. Again, there is no specified width for the palette, but more width means more room for detail in the dusk/dawn transitions.
Blue=night, orange=dusk/dawn, cyan=day, yellow=lightning. (Template by Misa.)
Torches work similarly, but in this case x is a random value based on the torch flicker.
The method described above is used for all three worlds (Overworld, Nether, The End), but since there is no night or day in Nether and The End, the "time of day" value is constant. For these worlds you can simply give each row 0-15 the same color all the way across.
Connected Textures (sample ctm .properties)
MCPatcher's Connected Textures Mod is compatible with the original CTM mod/Optifine, so if a texture pack already follows the /ctm.png standard, it should just work. Here's the template /ctm.png from the original thread for reference.
In addition, you can use connected textures with any block. The format is the same as above, but just the glass part. Here's a template with simple black outlines.
Both block-based and tile-based methods are supported. Name the file /ctm/block<block id>.png or /ctm/terrain<tile number>.png depending on which you want to use. Also remember that the image needs to be the same size as terrain.png (256x256 for 16x texture packs, etc.).
You can also specify multiple ctm blocks from the same image. Create a file called /ctm/block<block id>.properties or /ctm/terrain<tile number>.properties. In it, specify the name of the source image and the list of tiles to use. There must be exactly 48 tiles listed:
See this sample texture pack for an example. It applies CTM to dark red, greed, blue, purple, and cyan wool using the same image.
You can also use the .properties file to specify random textures or repeat a larger pattern over several blocks. See the sample .properties file here for more information.
xau's thread is available here, but the old patcher (1.1.12_02) no longer works as of 1.5_01.
Settings, including the list of enabled mods and files to include, are saved to mcpatcher.xml in the .minecraft folder. The format should be self-explanatory.
From the main patcher window, you can also
enable or disable individual mods by checking/unchecking them,
edit a mod by double-clicking it,
remove altogether a mod you previously added by selecting it and clicking the Remove (-) button, and
change the order in which mods will be applied using the up and down arrows.

BetterGrass is back! Based on MrMessiah's mod.
Um, that's pretty much it.
4/26 2.0.0 release:
Fixed bug where custom animation settings were not always read. If the game appeared to ignore your settings when launched normally (vs. the Test Minecraft button), this should fix it.
Reorganized the Options panel.
Fixed a class conflict with zombe's mod pack. HD Textures should no longer be greyed out if you have this mod installed before patching.
Base the tile size of the max of several common textures, not just terrain.png. This allows you to have a 32x32 items.png and no terrain.png, for example.
Custom fire animations. Filenames are custom_fire_n_s.png and custom_fire_e_w.png.
Texture cache optional, disabled by default on 32-bit OSes.
Removed beta popup warning on first startup.
Um, I try downloading it. But my Norton Security keeps saying that it isn't safe and removes the file! So when I try to download Norton removes it! What do I do?
I think another wonderful addition to this would be textures based on the damage of blocks and entities.
Example:
You have a texture of diamond just peeking out of the rock. As you hit it, the diamond is more exposed using the textures. Similar to terrain animation, but each image slot represents the damage stage.
Another example:
You are slaying zombies. You slice at them, and soon, their textures start to get "flesh wounds".
One way this could be done is using folders. Example:
is there any chance we could ever get command line control for this program? It would really help me make my on-the-spot mod chooser of course if not, I will stick to the other method I have in mind lol.
I thank you for making the life of all mod users easier.

Sugggestion for Custom Colors: Allow texturepacks to change the color and/or image of the block selection box. Would really help with a texture pack I am making. Another interesting idea would be to allow texturepacks to edit the luminosity of blocks and add a glowing overlay(like spider eyes) to any texture. Would allow for glowing mushrooms, darker torches, flickering lamps and much more.
When I try to patch, it says theres a problem with my minecraft.jar and it wont give me the HD texture option. I have mo creatures, elemental creepers, and timber mod. What do I do?
4. I'm sure you can do that using terrain###.properties as opposed to block###?
Hope this helps!
I'm not so sure... I've been experimenting with the bed textures, trying to get it so if you place a bed on top of another bed, it shows as a bunk bed (with the wood extending to the top), and have not yet had any luck.

Had a little play myself, I think the bed gets its texture in a different way because it isn't a solid block, so at the minute your idea (as great as it sounds) isn't possible.
If it were possible, it's something that could be quite cool. But the way the bed's bounding block is, in-game it is only half a block high and as such never actually connects, so I doubt it will ever be possible without modding the bed item class. Sorry :/

Try installing all the .jar mods through MCPatcher. Keep the mods folder mods where they are.
Why does this not work with optifine? I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but whenever I patch my .jar then install optifine it black screens. Is there a way to fix this?

For me the "Detect Texture Pack Changes" option does not work, I can't change the pack when it's selected in the game. I'm currently using Snapshot 12w19a, no mods.
Do other texture pack authors have the same issue or does it have to do with my minecraft?

Why don't you just use a texture folder for your texture pack, and then after making changes, use f3+t in game?

I don't use Antiy-AVL... I use NIS 2012, which only flagged this file for "lack of usage." The scan I am pointing at, if you click the link, is a virustotal.com scan. In the OP we are told to look at a response that said (and I'm paraphrasing) "virustotal.com comes up with zero flags." Well, I am pointing out that it NO LONGER GETS ZERO FLAGS. Something has changed, because Antiy-AVL was used in the scan during that response as well, when nothing was flagged. Something has changed.
Original Post
Post that said zero flags were found
Virustotal.com scan of THAT version of MCPatcher
MY virustotal.com scan of CURRENT version of MCPatcher
Check the links ^^^^^
I would be irresponsible not to point out a possible keylogger/trojan infection that hundreds (maybe thousands) of people have chosen to ignore with their scanners. This is something that can be corrected by the mod creator, by finding what is NOW causing the flag, and fixing it. Perhaps submitting the file for analysis is an option, but I don't write software, so I am not an expert in dealing with resolving scanner false-positives. I am going to run it in a sand-boxed environment, to see if it does install the ruftar torjan. I'll let everyone know what happens.
The way this trojan behaves, the modder may be infected and not even know it. After having my WoW account hacked twice, I am not taking chances with possible keyloggers. FYI, virustotal.com is the scanner Symantec requires we use when reporting false-positives... If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me.
Also, any way to get randomized tall grass to work with Optifine? it seems to be the only Misa's feature that doesn't work with Optifine
(I really am hoping for an Optifine "light" without all this annoying MCpatcher mimic stuff)
1. Try making the properties file say terrain###.properties, where the ### is the tile number on the terrain sheet for the book side of the bookshelf, and a different terrain###.properties where the ### is the top of the bookshelf on the terrain.png.
2. Just make the outside pixels of each grass texture so that they are all the same, so that all can connect to each other (see my new nether on my patch download on my pack, but I've not got screenshots yet).
3. Easy, make a CTM for the lava with the random method, then make animations that affect the tiles on the ctmlava.png
4. I'm sure you can do that using terrain###.properties as opposed to block###?
5. That's a heck of a lot of variables there ... Yes, it'd be cool, but think about it from the point of view of writing the .properties file. "If block a = this, then use this texture. If a=that, use this one. If a= cheese, use this one ... etc, ad infinitum.
Hope this helps!
Personally I just can't wait for it to work for mod terrain textures!
Um, I try downloading it. But my Norton Security keeps saying that it isn't safe and removes the file! So when I try to download Norton removes it! What do I do?
Example:
You have a texture of diamond just peeking out of the rock. As you hit it, the diamond is more exposed using the textures. Similar to terrain animation, but each image slot represents the damage stage.
Another example:
You are slaying zombies. You slice at them, and soon, their textures start to get "flesh wounds".
One way this could be done is using folders. Example:
- mobs/zombie/damage0.png;damage1.png;damage2.png
- custom_terrain_1/damage0.png;damage1.png;damage2.png
The naming of the folders should be equivalent to that of the animated file, without the extension.Of course, because you are the developer, you don't have to work it this way, as it's just a suggestion.
Custom terrain stages and mob stages would be a great idea though.
I thank you for making the life of all mod users easier.
Don't use Norton.
