For the art side
I often use websites like icons8.com and flaticon.com to get free icons.
In some cases, I also rely on AI to help generate icons. I'm not against using AI—as long as you have the ability to critically evaluate its output and treat it as a tool.
Most AI-generated images serve best as rough drafts or sources of inspiration.
When it comes time to actually use them, you still need solid editing skills. This is especially true for 32x32 pixel icons in games, where every single pixel matters and needs to be carefully reviewed and designed.

In fact, drawing a 32px icon is quite an interesting thing to do , it's like using a very short sentence to tell your friend about an amazing movie you've recently watched.

Nine Patch
Since B42.9, there has been a possibly still-in-development method that allows images to be rendered similarly to Android's nine-patch. Below, I'll briefly explain how to create such an image, but keep in mind that this method may change as the game continues to update.
The red lines on the left and top are used to define which areas along the X and Y axes can be stretched. Areas not marked by red lines will be rendered at their original size (note: original size, not original scale). In more complex cases, you can also set red lines on the bottom and right sides to give each corner a different size — for example, you could render only the top-left and top-right corners at their original size, while allowing the rest to stretch automatically.
The "red lines" I mentioned above can actually be any color, as long as their opacity is above a certain threshold. They must be exactly 1px in width or height. So, when you're creating a 9-patch image—for example, if you're making a 192x192 image like mine—you need to reserve 1px on the left and top sides. That means your final image size should be 193x193.

Probably best that you explain this in a repository wiki of your mod since this place is also mostly for discussions and updates so this will get lost very quickly
And pinning the messages won't be a viable solution since you made 4 different messages to explain everything, so continuing that way in the pinned messages would make a mess of it

Oh~sorry , maybe i should do like what u said explain this in a repository wiki, i will delete it later
