Apparent texture error

Status

Fixed

Issue description

I get the standard pink and black missing texture on all blocks and items except the Nether Bomb. As far as I can tell, I didn't do anything different with the Nether Bomb and the other blocks (other than the different textures) and I made sure all of the textures were .png.

By the way, why can't we use .gif's anymore?

Issue comments

The textures of the blocks that have missing textures are gif, for example, your NETHER block uses n.e.t.h.e.r..gif file, so it is a gif. Minecraft only supports png format and even MCreator does not even let you import .gif directly. Convert your textures to png format and select them for the block again. And avoid strange file names as n.e.t.h.e.r. as this can cause issues too.

If you would like to use an animated gif, import it in animation maker in MCreator which will convert it in a proper animated strip png format.

I have converted your nether block texture to png and imported it in MCreator and selected it as a texture and everything worked as it should.

Okay, thanks!

I changed all of the textures to .png and changed N.E.T.H.E.R..png to just NETHER.png. Then I restarted MCreator, deleted all the imported textures, and imported the new .png ones, but the textures are still messed up.

I also made sure to actually go and change out the first textures with the new ones.

Please attach the new workspace with png textures and I will check it again.

Sorry I didn't get back to you--I can't play on Sundays. I'll get the file to you later today.

The textures seem to be in the format Minecraft does not support. Go to forge\src\main\resources\assets\minecraft\textures and open these textures in an external editor (I used gimp) and just save them in png again so the format gets corrected. I did this and it worked.

Would Preview work?

Also, how do I find the forge folder? I'm on a Mac, if that means anything...

I looked and could't find it. Where is it, exactly?

I copied and pasted your folder path structure into Finder and it didn't work.

The forge folder is inside the folder in which you installed MCreator.

All right, thanks!

Is it significant that two of my block textures are labeled 'PNG' and the other two are labeled 'PNG Image'?

Yes, the two that are labeled PNG only are most likely corrupted. I suggest you use one of the popular image editors to fix and export them in correct PNG format.

Are you sure? The two that are labeled 'PNG' right now are the only ones that were working in MCreator.

It might be the other way around, I am not that familiar with macOS file extension naming conventions,
