Description

MoreMcmeta ================== ![MoreMcmeta logo](https://github.com/MoreMcmeta/core/blob/4.x-1.20/info/img/moremcmeta-logo-gradient.png?raw=true "MoreMcmeta Logo") Animate almost any texture with more options. Texture configuration API. This means: * more possibilities for resource packs * a familiar animation format * not invasive—better compatibility with other mods ![Mob, GUI, shadow, moon, and enchantment glint examples](https://github.com/MoreMcmeta/core/blob/4.x-1.20/info/img/demo.gif?raw=true "Animated Texture Examples") Animate Almost Any Texture -------- With MoreMcmeta, you can animate almost any texture with OptiFine `.properties` files or JSON `.moremcmeta` files. MoreMcmeta also adds support for new animation options, like daytime synchronization. | Feature | Vanilla | MoreMcmeta | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Animated block and item textures | ✔️ | ✔️ | | Animated entity and armor textures | ❌ | ✔️ | | Animated sun and moon textures | ❌ | ✔️ | | Animated GUI textures | ❌ | ✔️ | | Animated pack icons | ❌ | ✔️ | | OptiFine animated texture pack support, no OptiFine necessary | ❌ | ✔️ | | Defining animations with JSON files | `.mcmeta` files for blocks only | `.moremcmeta` files for any texture | | Daytime synchronization for animations | ❌ | ✔️, with the `daytimeSync` parameter | | Smooth transitions between animation frames with different transparency | ❌ | ✔️, with the `smoothAlpha` parameter | | Emissive textures | ❌ | [Emissive Plugin](https://modrinth.com/mod/moremcmeta-emissive) | The [Animation Format Guide](https://github.com/MoreMcmeta/core/wiki/User-Docs:-Animation-Format) has a full list of textures and explains all of the parameters MoreMcmeta supports in detail. MoreMcmeta is a client-sided mod, so you don't need to install it on a server. Texture Configuration API -------- If you're a Minecraft modder, you can create your own plugins for MoreMcmeta that add new texturing effects and support for new formats. See the [API documentation](https://github.com/MoreMcmeta/core/wiki/Plugin-Docs:-Overview) for more details. Emissive Textures Plugin -------- A [separate plugin](https://modrinth.com/mod/moremcmeta-emissive) is available to enable support for emissive textures with MoreMcmeta.

Important 1.18.2 Forge Version Requirement --------------------------- As of version 4.0.0, MoreMcmeta requires Minecraft Forge 40.2.4+. You need to download the _latest_ 1.18.2 Forge version, not the recommended version. Forge might provide a confusing error message when the version you are using is too low. Please update Forge before you report an issue for 1.18.2. Discuss MoreMcmeta -------- Have a question, or want to show off a resource pack or plugin?
