Texture Artist For Enchantment Mod

[rancid trout]

I am looking for anyone who can pitch in a texture or two for my enchantment overhaul mod. The idea is for it to end up somewhat like this with each enchant having an icon (as pictured) in my new enchanting UI. If anyone is willing to create a 16x16 and 42x42 version for an enchant, that would be great. Here's what the icons are like if you are interested: https://minecraft.wiki/w/Dungeons:Enchantment

[drowsy fox]

This looks sick I'll see if I can attempt at making some textures in a few days

Cannot guarantee great quality

However I can certainly try

[rancid trout]

Feel free to pitch in a many as you are comfortable with. The wiki page I linked has the icons for each enchantment in dungeons so you can get a feel for the style

[drowsy fox]

Sure

[civic gorge]

Id be happy to do textures aswell.

What textures do you need?

[rancid trout]

Just about all of them xD

• binding_curse
• vanishing_curse
• riptide
• wind_burst
• frost_walker
• bane_of_arthropods
• impaling
• density
• breach
• sweeping_edge
• flame
• blast_protection
• fire_protection
• projectile_protection
• feather_falling
• fortune
• silk_touch
• efficiency
• quick_charge
• lure
• respiration
• aqua_affinity
• swift_sneak
• depth_strider
• loyalty
• unbreaking
• mending

Even if you only do one or two, that's still a tremendous help. I in no world expect someone to manage all of these

[civic gorge]

Ok

[civic gorge]

Your still using mending? Wouldnt it be a better idea to improve repair mechanics or smth instead of making a rnchant basically required.

[rancid trout]

This mod is meant to bring the overall mechanic into Java edition. I'll have an addon that reworks the actual enchantments (while adding more) to better match Dungeons

[civic gorge]

ok

could you add a config to remove enchantments?

why is their a 16x and 42x version?

and do both have their corners cut off @rancid trout

[rancid trout]

I could maybe try adding one

[rancid trout]

The 16x16 diamond is the icon the player sees at a glance when the table is opened ans they aren't hovering on an enchantment

The icon expands into a 42x42 diamond when hovered over

[civic gorge]

are you rotating the image or cutting off the corners?

[rancid trout]

Idk what you mean by that

[civic gorge]

look at the enchantmetn logos

the pixels are cut off at the edges of the logo

[rancid trout]

Ahh, no, I am not cutting the edges. It just needs to be a diamond shape with 16/42 pixel length edges

[civic gorge]

so are you rotating the image?

[rancid trout]

No, the sprites are all 64x64 in size

[civic gorge]

oh, ok, im doing mine in 32x right now, one sec

[rancid trout]

They are drawn rotated in that size so that they are easier to animate between

[civic gorge]

like this?

ill make it 64x

ok

do you want the 16x texture on a 32x or 64x grid?

@rancid trout ?

[rancid trout]

64 por favor

[civic gorge]

ok

are there enchant levels?

[rancid trout]

Yep. In the base mod, the enchantments will have their default leveling, but the addon will make them all have 3 levels

[civic gorge]

ok

@rancid trout Iv created a x16 for enchantments that dont have a texture, meaning your mod can be compatable with mods that add enchantments.

ill start on the x42

[rancid trout]

That's great! I was planning on using a missingno texture, so that's definitely better

[civic gorge]

after I make the x48 can I se it in game?

[rancid trout]

Sure

[civic gorge]

also, this means that even if you dont texture all the vanilla enchantments by release they dont look trash

@rancid trout A 64x texture cant fit a 42x diamond

did you mean 32x?

[rancid trout]

That's the diameter, mb

[civic gorge]

actual final versions, noticed something I didnt like just then

@rancid trout ?

[rancid trout]

I'll quickly get a mock of them in the game...

[civic gorge]

cool

[rancid trout]

I got the small ones in game, and I just noticed they are 32 in diameter

[civic gorge]

ooh...

lol

ill fix it

@rancid trout

since its so small iv gone with a closed book

[civic gorge]

Lure

[civic gorge]

Impaling

[civic gorge]

Mending

[rancid trout]

Oh my goodness, these look so good

[rancid trout]

Here are them in game. I now need to work on implementing the big ones and animating between them

[civic gorge]

Thank You :3

[civic gorge]

Oh damn, that looks really good

@rancid trout could I be added to the project on modrinth as an artist?

[rancid trout]

Of course

[civic gorge]

Ok, im EvPath on modrinth

Also, what u doing on aesprite?

[rancid trout]

I just haven't close it xD

It's my default image editor. I wrote a program that takes thr 16x and 42x images and creates inbetween sizes for the animation

[civic gorge]

Ok, also, do u think animated textures are a good idea?

[civic gorge]

Nice

Thats why its so smooth

[rancid trout]

My current system for rendering them can't support animated textures

[civic gorge]

Ok

[rancid trout]

I hijacked the atlas system and created new atlas' for these to speed up rendering

(In theory)

[civic gorge]

Prob better that I dont use time animating the lure worm

[rancid trout]

Oh dear...

[civic gorge]

I can use the time on other enchants

[rancid trout]

Sounds good!

[civic gorge]

Also whats the funky box in the gui?

[rancid trout]

That's where I'm going to display the number of remaining enchantment points a player has

[civic gorge]

Ok

I should do some more common enchants now

Like bane of arthropods /j

Could u add a config option to remove level cost?

[rancid trout]

xD

[rancid trout]

Wdym?

[civic gorge]

Like, it doesent cost levels to enchant

Im thinking about what I would want for a modpack lol

[toxic cairn]

How are the enchantments you get to choose from chosen? Random?

[civic gorge]

@rancid trout What license are you using for the mod?

[civic gorge]

@rancid trout I had an idea for the mod, ahat if the second and third enchant slots were unlocked with bookshelves surrounding the enchant table

[rancid trout]

This mod removes XP being lost in every way. Enchanting now relies on Enchantment Points which are earned each time the player levels up in XP. The XP system is also reworked to be exponential and not a weird linear-ish mess

[civic gorge]

ok, cool

[rancid trout]

Enchantments in vanilla have a weight defined in their json files (which idek if it is used in vanilla Minecraft). These weights determine the odds of the enchantment appearing.
Edit: Once an enchantment is chosen to be an option, that enchantment becomes "discouraged" and will be avoided from reappearing if possible. The same enchantment cannot appear twice in the same set of an option*

[rancid trout]

All of my projects are MIT

[civic gorge]

ok, cool.

[rancid trout]

I definetely could add this. The current way those slot are unlocked is via the item's enchantability level and an RNG check

[civic gorge]

the enchantability could determine how much enchants you can choose between

and the boockshelves can determine how much of the 3 slots you have access to

[civic gorge]

Is there a way to make it so that bottles of enchanting arent throwable and instead you drink them to gain one enchant point?

(Im very much still in modpack brain mode)

[rancid trout]

I might make that a seperate mod, but I could do that

[civic gorge]

ok

Im thinking im going to disable all xp orbs with you shall not spawn

then the only way to get xp would be by drinking bottles o enchanting

which would give exactly one level

then as a modpack dev I get to add ways of getting bottles o enchanting

[rancid trout]

XP still needs to be dropped by mobs/ores so players can get it

[civic gorge]

yea, Im disabling that

I want players to get xp bottles from structures

to encourage exploration

WAIT

ill see if the experience thingy from create works how I want it to

ok, creates experience doesent work how I would like

[toxic cairn]

I could probably make this if OP doesn't want to.

[rancid trout]

Feel free, I've got enough on my plate rn

[civic gorge]

Sure

[civic gorge]

fire aspect

@rancid trout

[rancid trout]

Thanks!

To save you time, I could use the textures for the enchantments in Dungeons, unless you want to recreate them

[civic gorge]

If your allowed to do that, do that, ill make enchants not in dingeons.

[rancid trout]

alrighty, I updated the list here

[worthy kindle]

@rancid trout A bit off-topic, but I have played Dungeons with a friend and really enjoyed it. The enchanting system is really cool. We have discovered that it is possible to salvage items and get points back, after... quite a long time. 😅

So the question is how do you plan to handle enchantment points in your mod?

[rancid trout]

Like in Dungeons, points will be earned each XP level up (The XP system will be overhauled as well). Grindstoning will allow the player to remove an enchant from an item, which will give points, but will lock that enchantment slot for future enchanting.

[civic gorge]

Thanks

[worthy kindle]

The XP system will be overhauled as well
Cool 👍

[pseudo kite]

I could probably do one of the 16x textures

maybe flame?

[pseudo kite]

Flame
Feel free to tweak it. I feel it could be a good base for a more pro pixel artist

[twin finch]

idk if you're doing 1.21, but I made the 42x version of breach

i'm starting on the 16x

there

it's so itty bitty

[pseudo kite]

it in purple

[twin finch]

ooh

i like that

[rancid trout]

I try to keep my mods on the newest version. Thanks for the texture!

[twin finch]

what color should sweeping edge be?

[pseudo kite]

I feel purples better against the grey of the chestplate personally

[rancid trout]

I'll try them both to see which one stands out the best

[pseudo kite]

you did a good job on the texture. I changed to purple so its there as an option 🙂

[rancid trout]

Sharpness has a blue background if that helps. Maybe a teal?

[pseudo kite]

maybe like prismarine colour

[lofty arrow]

@rancid trout looks like a nice mod!

[pseudo kite]

hope you don't mind but I tweaked the hue

@rancid trout ^

[pseudo kite]

@civic gorge would you mind tweaking this?

[twin finch]

here's sweeping edge

[pseudo kite]

is it just me or does it look so cool in blue?

[twin finch]

it kinda does

[twin finch]

oh i like that one

ill do the 16x with those colors

[pseudo kite]

it's good to see how different colour effect pics

[twin finch]

16x

[pseudo kite]

another mending colour option

[rancid trout]

The goal is for each to be distinguishable at a glance. So, I'm going to try and have each of them have their own color

[civic gorge]

There is a stray pixel on the edge.

[civic gorge]

You want me to edit it?

Ill edit it this afternoon.

[civic gorge]

I hope you dont mind but later ill change the sword texture.

[twin finch]

alright

looking back i do wish it was more blue to fit with the background

[civic gorge]

Yea.

[pseudo kite]

if it's more blue it'll be harder to see the sword

[twin finch]

true

but the outlines and shadows could be tinted slightly

[twin finch]

like this

[civic gorge]

I want to make the sword match modern mc textures

[twin finch]

yeah

i just based it off the normal iron sword

[pseudo kite]

yeh I really like it in dark purple

[civic gorge]

Also, just realized this was for flame, I thinking a burning arrow is a better representation of the enchant. You did a good job with the texture tho!

[pseudo kite]

they did a good job making the texture. I'm better at colours/styles than pixel art

[civic gorge]

The green was meant to represent healing cuz ur healing the equipment

[civic gorge]

Would it be possible to have it for 1.20.1?

[rancid trout]

Why?

I could maybe make a backport

[civic gorge]

Im wondering if I could use it in my modpack

[rancid trout]

I typically dev on the newest version and see how far back I can go without major changes to the source

[civic gorge]

Ok

Np

[pseudo kite]

probably because it was the last big update before 1.21 and not many mods are for 1.21 yet and they're probably using 1.20.1 mods. Stuff like create mods not on 1.21 yet, or farmers delight etc.

[civic gorge]

@twin finch @rancid trout Updated sweeping edge.

wait, one sec
