Turn all the chests into gifts earlier!


#1

Hello everyone!

I have made a successful experience today! I wanted to get the gift texture of the chests earlier and applied to all the chests (=including the trapped chests).

For those who never tried stuff with customizing their ressources packs, here is how I done it:

  1. Locate your .minecraft folder
    Help with that can be found here: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/.minecraft

  2. Follow this:
    .minecraft => ressourcepacks => unzip your ressource pack => (name of your ressource pack) => assets => minecraft => textures => entity => chest

  3. Create a folder and put all the normal and trapped textures for your chests.

  4. Duplicate the christmas textures twice, then leave the default christmas textures alone

  5. Rename the duplicated christmas textures:
    normal.png
    normal_double.png
    trapped.png
    trapped_double.png

  6. Launch minecraft and change your ressource pack to the one you use to use, but the version without .zip at the end

Done!

Bonus 7. When done, just copy the default textures you have in your created folder, and paste them in the main chest texture folder, and replace the christmas textures by the default ones! Yay!

I do not know if there is an easier way to do it. I just fiddled with my ressource pack until it worked, but I’m not really good at all of this…
I don’t know either if it would be different for other ressource packs or in default. FYI, I use Faithful.

Could you re-upload the texture pack for the ones of us who are terrible at modifying stuff?

I could do it before (last year) but now pfft, i don’t know mods really well haha

There you go:

And it may or may not require Optifine, which is super easy to install:

I hope everything works!

I tested it, and it seems you have to unzip it for it to be recognized by Minecraft as a ressourcepack. Why? I don’t know.
