Get Block Textures from Minecraft Jar

In order to use this tool, you'll need to obtain the block textures from your Minecraft installation. Here's how you can do that:

Open the Minecraft Launcher and select the installation you want to use.

Click the "Mod Options" button and select "Open Game Dir". In the game directory, navigate to the "versions" folder. Find the folder that corresponds to the version you want to use (e.g., "1.16.5") and open it.

Open the .jar file with an archive manager such as WinRAR or 7-Zip.

Navigate to the assets/minecraft/textures/block folder. Copy all of the .png files in this folder to a new folder on your computer.

Once you have obtained the block textures, you can specify the directory containing them in the block_dir variable in the Python script.

Start the program by running the mcpalette.py script and passing the path to your input palette:
