Texture Creation Guide

Purpose: Guide for creating mod textures using vanilla texture reuse and color transformation.

How it works: This skill is automatically activated when you mention tasks related to:

Creating textures for custom blocks or items
Reusing vanilla textures with color modifications
Using ImageMagick for texture processing
Creating wood variant textures (doors, trapdoors, etc.)

Simply describe what you want to do, and Claude will reference the appropriate guidance from this skill.

Reusing Vanilla Textures with Color Transformation (2025-11-15)

Approach: For custom wood variants, extract vanilla textures and apply color transformation to maintain visual consistency while ensuring rapid texture creation.

Workflow:

1. Extract Vanilla Textures

Locate Minecraft client JAR: ~/.gradle/caches/fabric-loom/minecraftMaven/net/minecraft/minecraft/1.21.1/minecraft-1.21.1.jar

Extract textures using unzip:

unzip -j minecraft-1.21.1.jar \
  "assets/minecraft/textures/block/jungle_door_top.png" \
  "assets/minecraft/textures/block/jungle_door_bottom.png" \
  "assets/minecraft/textures/block/jungle_trapdoor.png" \
  "assets/minecraft/textures/item/jungle_door.png"

Use similar wood type as base (e.g., Jungle for yellowish woods, Oak for brown woods)

2. Determine Color Transformation Parameters

Compare reference planks (e.g., Time Wood Planks vs Jungle Planks)

Use ImageMagick histogram to analyze color distributions:

magick time_wood_planks.png -format %c histogram:info:-
magick jungle_planks.png -format %c histogram:info:-

Calculate RGB channel multipliers by comparing dominant colors
Example for Time Wood (yellowish-olive from brown):
- Red: 0.95× (slight reduction)
- Green: 1.17× (significant increase for yellow tone)
- Blue: 0.85× (reduction for warmth)

3. Apply Color Transformation with ImageMagick

magick input.png \
  -channel R -evaluate multiply 0.95 +channel \
  -channel G -evaluate multiply 1.17 +channel \
  -channel B -evaluate multiply 0.85 +channel \
  output.png

4. Iterate Based on Visual Feedback

Test textures in-game
Adjust RGB multipliers if colors don't match:
- Too green → reduce G multiplier, increase R/B
- Too yellow → reduce G multiplier
- Too dark/bright → adjust all channels proportionally

Known Color Transformations

Time Wood (from Jungle): R×0.95, G×1.17, B×0.85 - produces yellowish-olive tone

Applied to: Door, Trapdoor textures (T080v-T080aa)

Benefits

Rapid texture creation (batch processing with ImageMagick)
Visual consistency across all variants
Easy iteration and adjustment
Reusable approach for future wood types

Notes

HSV color space transformations may not work well for fundamental color shifts (e.g., brown → yellow-green)
RGB channel multiplication provides more control for cross-color transformations
Always verify textures in-game before finalizing
