Resource Pack Editor Mod

# Resource Pack Editor Mod A Fabric mod for **Minecraft 1.21.1** that lets you create, edit, and share resource packs without ever leaving the game. No external image editor required — pixel-edit any block or item texture from inside Minecraft, and export the finished pack as a `.zip` with one click. ## Requirements - Minecraft **1.21.1** - (https://fabricmc.net/use/installer/) **0.16.10** or newer - (https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api) **0.116.10+1.21.1** or newer - Java **21** ## Installation 1. Install the Fabric Loader for Minecraft 1.21.1. 2. Drop **Fabric API** into your `mods/` folder. 3. Drop **`resourcepackeditormod-1.0.0.jar`** into the same `mods/` folder. 4. Launch Minecraft. Your `mods/` folder lives at: - **Windows:** `%APPDATA%\.minecraft\mods` - **macOS:** `~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods` - **Linux:** `~/.minecraft/mods` ## Usage Everything lives inside the vanilla **Options → Resource Packs** screen. The mod adds two buttons above the existing row: ### Create New Pack With **no pack selected** (or only the default selected), the left button reads **Create New Pack**. Click it to: 1. Enter a **name** and a **description**. 2. Hit **Create** — the mod generates a new folder under `resourcepacks/<name>/`, writes a valid `pack.mcmeta`, creates a white default icon, and extracts every block/item texture from your currently-loaded resources as a starting template. 3. You'll land in the **Texture Selector** — see (#editing). ### Edit Pack When you **select an existing pack** in the list, the left button changes to **Edit Pack: <name>**. Click it and the mod opens the **Texture Selector** pointed at that pack's `assets/minecraft/textures/` directory. **Edits save directly to the original pack — no copy is made.** ### Share Pack The right button, **Share Pack**, is greyed out until you select a pack. When active, click it to open your operating system's native file dialog. Choose a destination, and the mod zips the entire pack folder into a `<PackName>.zip` you can drop into Discord, upload to Modrinth, send to a friend, etc. The zipping runs in the background so the game doesn't freeze on large packs. ## Editing ### Texture Selector A file browser scoped to your pack's textures. Click a `` entry to descend; click a `.png` to open it in the **Pixel Editor**. Use **Back** to go up a folder (or to return to the resource pack screen from the root). The **Edit Icon** button jumps straight to your pack's `pack.png`. ### Pixel Editor The pixel editor renders the texture at high zoom with a grid overlay and a checkered transparency background. Click and drag to draw. **Tools** (right side of the screen — hover for tooltips): | Button | Tool | Behavior | |--------|---------------|----------| | **P** | Pencil | Click or drag to paint single pixels. | | **L** | Line | Click-drag from start to end, release to draw a straight line. | | **R** | Rectangle | Click-drag a rectangle outline. | | **C** | Circle | Click-drag from center to define radius. | | **F** | Flood Fill | Click to fill a contiguous area with the current color. | **Color palette** (left side): 20 preset colors. Click to select; hover to see the hex code. Scroll if your screen is too short to show them all. **Undo / Redo**: arrows under the tool list. History is capped at 50 steps. A whole pencil drag counts as one step, so you can revert a full stroke without spamming undo. **Save**: writes the edited image back to its original file. **Cancel** discards changes. ## Tips - Edits are saved straight to disk — if the pack is currently active in Minecraft, hit **F3+T** (or toggle the pack off/on) to reload textures and see your changes immediately. - Resource pack format version is set to **34** (Minecraft 1.21.1). If you want to use the exported zip on a different Minecraft version, edit `pack.mcmeta` accordingly. - The default texture extraction pulls from **all currently-loaded resources**, so if you have other resource packs enabled when you click **Create New Pack**, those packs' textures will be used as the baseline. - The texture editor uses nearest-neighbor sampling — what you see in the editor is exactly what Minecraft will render. ## License (https://everett2323.github.io/rpemodLICENSE/)
