Custom Print Texture
1.Make a resourcepack and put your texture.pngs to the path below:
assets\footprintparticle\textures\particle\
2.Make a footprint.json or copy one from the mod.jar to your resourcepack path below (or watermark.json if you wanna replace watermark at same time):
assets\footprintparticle\particles\
3.Add your texture.pngs file name to the .json, formatting like:
{
"textures": [
"footprintparticle:footprint", // delete this line if you don't need default ugly print :)
"footprintparticle:texture1",
"footprintparticle:texture2",
"footprintparticle: ..." // remember last line NOT have comma (",")
]
}
4.Packing and install your pack into the game, enabled your resourcepack, then go to the config screen and edit the "Custom Print Texture" option as tooltip says:
minecraft:cat,texture1,texture2
minecraft:cow,texture1
modid:mobid,textureName
...
5.Enjoy!
