Upon popular request I've decided to tell how I've been able to add items to the items-opaque.png.
Just a warning I suck at tutorials and I would wait for another person to explain it better.

So items.meta and the terrain.meta are basically maps of the terrain-atlas.tga and items-opaque.png
the terrain-atlas.tga; when converted to a .png is 512x256 and the items-opaque is 256x256

the parameters to add an items image to the meta is set up like this
{"uv":[startX,startY,endX,endY,imageXsize,imageYsize],"name":"Item Name","additonal_textures":[]}

Finding the coordinates:
when doing this you want to think about this very simple. the top left corner of the items-opaque.png is 0.0
every item on here have there own "box" made up of a 16x16 space. basic stuff. so the top left of the box is the starting points startX and startY, the bottom right of the box is the endX and the endY. each pf these coordinates will be a multiple of 16. so the golden apples coordinates are gonna be 16,0,32,16 startX is 16 from the edge, startY is 0 from the edge, endX is 32 from the edge, and endY is 16 from the edge. so the end values are gonna be 16 more than the start values. now just these coordinates cannot be put into items.meta because thats now how minecraft reads them. to make this format take the coordinate and divide by 256. for example golden apples coordinate is now 0.0625,0.0,0.125,0.0625 and this is acceptable to put into the items.meta.

so now to create my own texture name I would add {"uv":[0.0625,0.0,0.125,0.0625,256,256],"name":"custom_item","additonal_textures":[]}

but make sure before you add this to the items.meta make sure you add this line in the brackets [] of the .meta

this method could also be achievable in the terrain.meta but the x coordinates (startX, endX) would have to be divided by 512 because the image is 512 wide.

if this isn't made clear hopefully someone will understand it and make a better tutorial because I am terrible at making tutorials. hope this helps

This doesn't work for 0.9.x

I almost got a working way though so I make a tutorial soon if i do get it

Yeah, it doesn't work :(. I really need it for "Tinker's Construct" but 500ise must have disabled it for some reason

So if a wanted to expand the file size of the items_opaque to lets say, 256x512, I would have to find the y coordinates then divided them by 512 and the x by 256 right?

Well this does not work anymore, so I guess not...

Not trying to spam an old thread but would this be possible to make x32 items? E.I. the items opaque png file. I noticed there are x16 sized item files but there are also x32 sized files. Using the method you explained, would I be able to make items x32?

Might I just say, yes this works for blocks but not for Items. Items will not render properly.
