(Better Enchanted Tool Textures)
A resource pack that changes tools textures depending on enchantments that does not require a mod like CIT
Shipped this project!
Drew many textures coded hundreds of lines of json
Hope you enjoy it!
Features:
Enchant any of these tools/weapons and the textures will change
-
Sword: Sharpness, Fire Aspect, Mending

-
Spear: Sharpness, Fire Aspect, Mending
-
Pickaxe: Fortune, Silk Touch, Mending

Made fast a website where you can choose each texture individually and then it dynamically generates the .json files and it works great
You can visit it at: Pack Selector
Note: The website was 99% made with Amp Code

Mending Fortune And Silk Touch
I drew many many textures today all mending variants for ALL tools and Weapons Fortune and Silk Touch for the rest of the tools that use those and then i had to code everything it was pretty repetitive and also lots of copy paste but that does not mean it was easy and now i also have a whole lot of items with textures already which is really cool and this project is getting to a point that i can soon ship it.
These are all the textures i drew today
- Mending:
- Shovel
- Spear (In hand and GUI)
- Hoe
- Axe
- Fortune & Mending
- Shovel
- Hoe
- Axe
And then still had to code everything and make models that add the new textures.
Bellow are only a few of the textures because it would be too hard to add them all here

So it has been 5 very productive hours I:
- Drew Mending for Pickaxe and Sword
- Drew Fortune and SilkTouch for Pickaxe
- Cleaned my folder structure and now have like WAY less files
- Coded everything for all the new enchantments
So the Mending was really fun because what i did is have 3 different textures and they change depending on the durability of the tool so if lets say tool is at half durability it would be the second mending texture and this was really fun to draw but hard to code, its still easy code but discovering how everything works was hard but in the end i’m really happy how it turned out
(it took me about 3 versions of the mending textures to get them just right)
Then Fortune and SilkTouch were pretty easy because they are not compatible with each other i used the same space in the Pickaxe
For Fortune I used the amethyst colors and i really like it
then SilkTouch is basically the same but with quartz colors and i LOVE it

Added Flame!
Flame was the next fire enchantment i had to add and that’s what i did! I drew a few animations because there are 3 stages in the bow pulling_0 pulling_1 pulling_2 they are almost the same but still that’s 3 animations. Then was the code which is also really long about 80 lines of JSON which is not my favorite language and i had to debug it multiple times but i managed it
Then i wanted to add diffrent arrow textures depending on the arrow like if it was the Spectral Arrow it would be golden in the texture but only after drawing the textures i realized that you cannot do that with a bow only with a crossbow and that is really sad because it could have been so visually pleasing 😔

It looks amazing .
Now i added fire aspect to the other spears and sharpness
the spear is the item that contains the most code until now as it uses different models in the gui and when held by hand by i’m pretty happy how everything worked out but it was quite a pain to debug every time something went wrong the bug that i had mostly was the models had something wrong in them but after a while the bugs became pretty consistent and easy to spot
each spear has about 100 lines of code its all basically the same besides the model and texture paths
here is what i came up with

Added Spear!
spear was a bit harder because it has different texture when its in gui ground and etc and then a diffrent 32x32px texture when in hand so the code and the textures were a bit more annoying to work on but ahh its so worth it it works so well and the emitting light is also really cool

I remade lots of things and now the recourse pack works way better and way less code and files so what i did was:
- textures now are layers instead of each enchantment having the sword texture in it its a base sword texture which i use in every enchantment and then the enchantment it self is only the effect like the fire from fire aspect
- the main code is cleaner and simpler and more reliable
- less files needed for everything to work

So i drew new textures! and added them to minecraft
but drawing fire_aspect was suuuper hard idk why but the fire just dint look right but smh i got somewhere that i’m really proud of and then also made a new sharpness texture which is just a glint which i think is appropriate for sharpness and then made one with both together also this was my first time making a animated minecraft texture and its surprisingly easy!

aigh beeeeet
Peak cimena
Did a bit of research on how i could do this and found no documentation but i found 1 resource pack that already did this in worse way but it was enough for me to start and understand how i could do this and its actually pretty easy and already made a texture that when you have a diamond sword and add sharpness to it it changes the texture and ohhh its so awesome
