Note: This is a very basic example but it does prove that animations are being picked up correctly. In our example, we're going to do something fairly simple by changing the opacity of the texture to make it appear transparent during the game. We can edit each frame to create an animation. Each of these parts is a frame of the animation. Creating the animation To understand the animation effect we need to imagine that our new image is comprised of 4 parts, split by 16 pixels vertically. We're simply going to highlight the 16x16 texture, and repeat it 4 times: Now, the fun part. Make sure you keep the image aligned at the top and only grow the canvas downwards: Now we need to repeat the image 4 times, vertically. Now adjust the canvas size of the texture by using the Image - Canvas Size option in Photoshop.

In our example we're using the default 16x16 texture and we want 4 frames so our calculation is: 4 x 16 = 64 This is going to be the new height of the texture sheet image. Now calculate the new sheet image height by multiplying the number of frames by the texture resolution (e.g 16, 32, 64). For this example we're going to use the trapdoor block which is found in: textureslocks rapdoor.png First, open the texture in Photoshop (or your preferred image editor) Then decide how many frames you want for your animation. Create an animated sheet image The first thing we need to do is take a default sheet image and turn it into an animated file. The exact multiplier depends on the number of frames. The exact height of the sheet image is a multiplier of the width. Sheet images are always a fixed width but they can vary in height. Sheet images come in varying sizes including 16x16, 32x32, 64圆4 etc. Each sheet image is a single block or item e.g. What is a sheet image/sprite? A sheet image is the new format for textures.

We'll show you how to create an animated sheet image and how to choose frames and animation speed. Instead of having a large texture which is split by 16x16 grids, you now have individual images (refered to as sheet images or sprites).
