Texture Generator (texgen)

Dynamically generates a texture pack for your current game in the textures directory.

Features

• Compatible with virtually all mods and games
• Easy texture pack generation, no complex installation
• Server-side (mod-based) texture pack; textures can be accessed by other mods

Instructions

Just fire up the mod and configure it to your liking. It might throw an error message as it updates its mod.conf to depend on all enabled mods. Simply retry after that.

Downloading palettes

You can use the /download_palette <url> chatcommand to download a PNG palette file, for example /download_palette https://lospec.com/palette-list/zughy-32-1x.png.

See /help download_palette for details on its usage.

Requires the server priv. Only available if texgen is added to both secure.http_mods and secure.trusted_mods.

WARNING: Enabling this feature poses a minor security risk.
