What is SpriteCaster?

SpriteCaster allows you to convert modern minecraft textures for release versions into texture packs compatible with older versions. It essentially allows you to backport resource packs.

What works?

All unchanged blocks and textures work as you'd expect in older versions!

  • Animated blocks like water, lava, fire and portals are converted back to the old MC Patcher format.
  • HD texture packs are supported.
  • Chests are roughly expanded to suit larger blocks.
  • Beds work fine!
  • Comapasses and Clocks are backported using a format superior to the MC Patcher format, you will need MineOnline to use these.
  • Blocks which have grey textures in release (like grass) are tinted an appropriate color.

What doesn't work?

  • Most notably, the inventory screen remains unchanged, due to the release one being too different.
    • You can include a suitable inventory texture in a resource pack if you wish, at assets\minecraft\spritecaster\gui\container\inventory_v1.png
  • Boat entities are not yet converted.
  • Most release packs don't have bed icons these days. They will be used if present, but if not the default icon will be used.
