So i need some help please! I want to make Flows HD compatible with CTM. Anyone know how to do so? Im not that good at making code, im only good at building. If anyone has some tips, please tell me because i really want to make it compatible!

Name the file grass_top and put this in the text document:

faces=top
tiles=(#-#)
method=random

Also put textures of grass top blocks with little 2d flowers on top in the folder.

Let me know if you need anything else.

I've run into a bit of a problem using custom sky(boxes). It all works fine, day and night, up until it rains or snows, which then they all disappear and leave a dissatisfying grey sky. Does anyone know if it is possible to have a custom sky when there is downfall?

How to change ONLY the cursor/crosshair?

So I practically have shaders via resource pack but is there a way to give the shaders water effect to what? like make it look glossy in anywany?

Got no reply in the Optifine thread, so I am trying to ask here instead. I am just re-posting it here as a quote:

Need some help with Custom Item Textures. I am using a custom texture depending on the name of the item. I want multiple names to use the same texture, like this:

type=item
items=iron_sword
texture=./iron_sword.png
nbt.display.Name=Dagger
nbt.display.Name=Knife

This does not work ofcourse, but this is what I want to do. How do I do it?

Hello. First, I've posted what I'm looking for elsewhere, so, to save typing time, here's the link to it:

If you don't want to follow the link of someone you don't know, you can reach it by googling Vox populi minecraft, it's in the forums, under What's new, with the title "Pack jsons? Help with resource pack, please," though it's a few days in by now.

I've made a pack for my personal use, taking parts I like from different packs, and putting them into mine. I have most of what I want, but still would like "random" passive mobs. I've never used jsons before, but I think it's what would be able to help me. At the least, direct me to someone's pack who has a json for passive mob textures, & I'll work with what I can.

Thanks for any help.

Edit: I think the weight is what I need to use, but I don't know how to assign anything to anything, or what it means.

In the image attached, the un-taged pics, they can be normal random, the two blue can be in a high, or maybe low, biome. The Red tagged one, that is the main one I'm trying to get help for, it's an albino pig, so I'd want it as rare as possible, with weight. I've downloaded so many packs over the past week, trying to find one that has what I want. As far as I can tell, none do.

ps- this is the pig.properties file in one pack:

originally, there were 2 pig textures in the file.

skins.1=1 



weights.1=10



biomes.1=Plains River



minHeight.1=55



maxHeight.1=255





# Use 5, 7, 9 in high, hilly areas.



skins.2=2



biomes.2=ForestHills Forest JungleHills Jungle Swampland Taiga TaigaHills



minHeight.2=55



maxHeight.2=255







skins.3=1

If you want that glossy shader effect, you must use shaders. A resource pack along can't do anything like that.

Um, no, you can't make random mobs with JSON files-- there is no JSON support for mobs. You can make random block textures.

Random mobs is an MCPatcher or Optifine feature, which of course only works if you have one of those running.

I know about MCPatcher, that's why I came here when you guys in the other thread gave me the link. Thanks for that. I am willing to use Optifine when I can, and If I'd need to wait for some reason, I'm ok with that, as long as I know that this texture thing would work.
I do have "random" chickens already, ether default white, or a yellow-ish chicken. I mainly want that, but with at least one pig texture to have weight, so it appears rarely. But I don't know how to do that. Really, I think I just need that file in my post explained to me, and I should be able to peace together what I'm looking for. That file, I took from another person's pack.
Would this be what I'd want?
theirs:
skins.1=1
weights.1=10



My attempt:
Default pig.
Pig.1=1
weights.1=10


"Albino" pig
Pig.4=4
weights.4=1 I want it to be as rare as possible, no pun intended.


Ideas I just had for the blue tags.
Pig.5=5
biomes.5=ForestHills Forest JungleHills Jungle

A hight-specific pig. I'd have to find a texture for it, but my idea is a pale white pig, with red eyes, only found deep underground
Pig.6=6
weights.6=100 ? when in this area, this texture would show up 100% of the time. Is that possible?
minHeight.2=1
maxHeight.2=20

Thank you. I'll still need to figure some out myself, but this should work.

If I remember to, I'll post a screenshot when I get it to work.

I typed it up, but I am on a Mac, so It wouldn't save as a .properties file:

I tried test edit, and LibreOffice.

Anyone a Mac user who knows what I can save it as?

Hey there! I need help with something really stupid: Im making a resource pack.. I have a large world, and I use actually 2 resource packs (because I made a lot of things, and many of them use different textures and blocks), so Im now trying to create most impossible thing never made before.. Make a second glass block.. Sounds stupid, but I tried two things so far, firstly I just copied the glass block texture and replace the original sponge texture with the glass one, and yeah it didnt work, after that I tried using ctm and just made a copy of my glass block to replace the sponge and didnt work..

So insomniac_lemon or eleazzaar (you both look like you know much about this), do you know just how to replace a sponge (or whatever) with the glass block? Would be easy if I were able to replace one stained glass (but.. it has fixed color so its not the same)

You can't make a block transparent that isn't transpartent or at least has air in it's space in the default version. So pick something like fence posts or cactii.

Alternately he could try biome-specific CTM replacement textures for glass if the world is divided that way. I think Optifine does those now. Just throwing that out there in case it helps, though obviously I don't know the specifics of how the multiple packs thing is supposed to work in this example.

I remember saw a guy who made a tinted transparent texture for the redstone lamp aparently using the render pass method (btw it didnt work for me).. I just dont understand why make a "second" glass block its so difficult, I know its because minecraft is coded by that way but why the hell its so difficult to make a custom glass block ? xD

Alvoria, could you explain me about your idea? With "divided world" Im saying I have the principal area with a resource pack, and now another one with other textures, in that new area I need two glass blocks and I dont see a way to make that possible without modding (I love to introduce mods, but much of them arent updated later, I want my world to be available to all mc versions..)

Maybe I could use some kind of fast modding tool to make the block (and maybe some others), but it will not depend on me, by that way my world will depend on the tool .-. and sounds like too much trouble just to make another glass block, if there is no other way I will consider make "a block mod" just to proced with those blocks I need (most of them are just new textures, but by this way I could make also new textures and use more variety in other areas)
