item displays which are scaled up to be 23x11 (center) and 10x11 (sides)

Why do you need to run it every tick? Surely you can just run this once, it won't lose the item. Or just summon the item display with the item already in it
Also, put a type= before the tag= in your target selectors, for example @e[type=item_display,tag=screen]. That helps optimise

Can you record a video?

Also, if you give all the screens a specific tag, then you can run the function as any screen with the tag, then in that function reference @s instead of @e - since you know that @s would be a screen, from there you only need to check which screen it is

do the cmds start at 1 and increase by 1 each time?
tender nova
^^ or is it like an animated texture
harsh hearth
do the cmds start at 1 and increase by 1 each time?
yes
i have no idea how to do an animated texture with thousands of textures so its all individual
tender nova
you basically put all of the different frames on top of each other in a very tall PNG, then add a .png.mcmeta file alongside it with details about the fps and to tell the game that it is indeed an animated texture

it will auto repeat the animation when it ends (like a gif) but you can use a timer to stop that

```ansi
[35mexecute [34mas [36m@e[33m[[0mtype[34m=[32mitem_display[34m,...
this command will simply increment cmd by 1

if ur up for it i reccomend switching to the animated texture since it doesnt need to run any commands to work

will it make the resource pack load faster?
tender nova
will it make the resource pack load faster?
in theory yeah bcuz its only one PNG instead of loads of smaller ones
that one png will still be very big and itself take a while to load but it will deffo be faster
harsh hearth
alright! i will give that a go!!

how long does the animation last, what is the width and height of the frame?
harsh hearth
ive definitely jumped in the deep end a little too quickly xD
harsh hearth
how long does the animation last, what is the width and height of the frame?
at the end it will last 3-4 hours...

Animated textures aren’t that difficult once you get the magic down good

the center screen is 11 high and 23 wide

In pixels please
buoyant lichen
the center screen is 11 high and 23 wide
I mean the pixels of the texture
width and height

i dont think there's a limit to how big an animated texture can be
harsh hearth
20
harsh hearth
i dont think there's a limit to how big an animated texture can be
i tried a larger resolution and minecraft kept saying resource reload failed so ive downsized it as much as i can without it being just pixels
tender nova
what tool r u using?
tender nova
bruh
id reccomend like
making a script to do it
you can always split it into different animated textures
like one for the first 10 seconds, then the next 10, etc
depends on how much it can load without breaking
if it does break, that is
harsh hearth
making a script to do it
yeah i made 5 scripts to do the resource and data pack stuff
tender nova
good idea lul
harsh hearth
doing that manually just for 2 minutes of video would destroy me
buoyant lichen
such an animated texture can fill most of the video memory.
tender nova
thats why i said split it up
into many smaller animated textures
that way you aren't changing the custom model data every tick, only once every few ticks
if you can limit the amount of times you run something its much better

but what if tick rate falls behind the animation?

that issue is lessened by the fact we aren't running it as often

#missing
maybe try and save it again
harsh hearth
i changed it and nope nothing still a missing texture
harsh hearth
note sure whats wrong with it
i think because the texture isnt square
ive made the height and width attribute in the mcmeta and now it work but it blinks black

@harsh hearth What's the current problem?
harsh hearth
hold on let me take a recording it's hard to explain
solar mirage
Lol
harsh hearth
nevermind its my script numbering alphabetically instead of numerically also is there any way to control when the block animation starts and stops?
pale oyster
did you try reading the error message that you sent
harsh hearth
it's currently working I just don't know how to start/stop the animation
pale oyster
you can't, it'll always be running the same
harsh hearth
is there no way I can make it start the animation from the start instead of wherever the game decides?
void lynx
Not that I'm aware of
harsh hearth
oh...
harsh hearth
so instead of that could i use that texture file ive created with all of the frames stacked up and make the first 184x88 CustomModelData:1 the second CustomModelData:2 etc?
like a texture atlas
void lynx
Yes
harsh hearth
how would I do that?
void lynx
For each model file, change the UV to use the next frame from the same texture file
harsh hearth
so will it need a model file for each frame?
void lynx
Same as having different parts of a model use the same texture but different areas of it
void lynx
so will it need a model file for each frame?
Yep
But you were going to need to do that anyway with your old implementation, this just keeps the textures all in one file
harsh hearth
okay thanks so much
i was just trying to find a way to completely get rid of the tens of thousands of model files
void lynx
Yeah that is sort of the unfortunate thing about doing wildly convoluted things like this
If there's not an easy way to do it, then there's a bad way to do it
And believe me, we've all been there
void lynx
I don't know either
harsh hearth
let me restart it might be that
nope made it worse
Datapack / Resourcepack Chaos
deleted it and it fixed it i am not sure what the best way to convert a video into a format that can be played in minecraft
slate lake
id just use a text display and a custom character for each frame generated by a script
harsh hearth
aren't text displays very laggy?
