Usage

• Use the command /sba dev to enter developer mode
• Hover over an item and hit Right Control to copy its NBT Data

This method uses Blender to render a skin. To render a skin you first need to acquire the skin file (See previous section), and then replace is as the input image in the blender file. The downloadable Blender Toolkit files require Blender to open. All skin renders with Blender should make use of Blender Toolkit for consistency.

Minecraft Armor Color Generator (Website) is a website used to generate Minecraft 1.8.9 commands for leather armor with a specific color, which can be used in a vanilla world with cheats enabled. Requires no assets.

Tips for spawning an entity in your own world and capture it with the Mineshot Mod.

Usage

• Download Green Screen Texturepack (Discord link) and use it. Sea lanterns will be solid green
• Use the Mineshot Mod and enter a world in creative mode
• Create a floor of solid green
• Start flying so you won't fall when you teleport up
• Run /summon CaveSpider ~ ~2 ~ {NoAI:1,NoGravity:1,Riding:{id:Spider,NoAI:1}} (Note: It needs to be at least 2 blocks or so above the ground to prevent the shadow)
• Run /tp ~ ~2 ~
• Enter isometric view with 5
• Zoom in with +
• Take screenshot with F9 (Note: The default facing direction for summoned mobs and the default angle for Mineshot make it so that the angle doesn't need adjusted)
• Remove background with paint.net (Note: The different sides of the green block can end up in different colors)

Spawning a complex entity

You can use the Sea Emperor as a reference:

/summon Skeleton ~ ~3 ~ {NoAI:1,Equipment:[{id:bow},{id:leather_boots,tag:{display:{color:11546150}}},{id:leather_leggings,tag:{display:{color:11546150}}},{id:leather_chestplate,tag:{display:{color:11546150}}},{id:skull,Damage:3,Count:1b,tag:{SkullOwner:{Id:"8d9a70ad-6bff-4577-a8e5-732a8a8a9077",Properties:{textures:[{Value:"eyJ0ZXh0dXJlcyI6eyJTS0lOIjp7InVybCI6Imh0dHA6Ly90ZXh0dXJlcy5taW5lY3JhZnQubmV0L3RleHR1cmUvMDQ0YjY1M2JiYjcyN2I1Yzg2NWE4ZWZjNzUwOTJhZmU5MzllMmMzZTY4NjEzZGI5YWJhZTRmMWI2NGY5OWY4In19fQ=="}]}}}}],Riding:{id:Guardian,NoAI:1}}

Tips to obtain textures of items or entities that requires no mods or tools.

Procedure

• Clearance: Go to your <.minecraft directory>/assets folder and delete the "skins" folder inside of it
• Preparation: Open Minecraft, go to the loading zone right before the item you want. Re-delete the skins folder to minimize the number of unwanted items
• Load the Entity: Load the item, then log out right away to prevent getting extra skins; You should now have a bunch of files in your skins folder
• Search for the File: Append the ".png" file extension to each file to view them (a mass file rename tool can be useful); Find the one you want

SkyCrypt (Website) can search for items carried by players. If an item cannot be obtained or viewed in an in-game menu, but is also owned by a player with API turned on, this method can be suitable.

Usage

• Search for a specific player on a specific profile that has the item
• To get the tooltip, simply click on an item
• To get a render of a player head: (Note: This method can only apply to player heads)
  1. Right click on the player head and click "Inspect (Element)"
  2. The selected element should be of <div class="piece-hover-area"...
  3. Look for the NEXT ONE OR TWO element. If it is of usable form, take the TEXTURE ID and render it with Head Renderer
  4. If it is of other forms, unfortunately the item cannot be rendered

> USABLE FORM<br>
<div class="piece-icon..." style="background-image: url("/head/''LOTS OF NUMBER AND LETTERS (TEXTURE ID)''")"...<br>
> NON-USABLE FORMS<br>
<div class="piece-icon..." style="background-image: url("/resourcepack/...<br>
<div class="piece-icon..." style="background-image: url("data:image/png;base64,...

Note: Please use Enchantment Glint Tool unless finer adjustments are required.

Since screenshots end up with an inconsistent item glint, enchantment glint is applied to a render of the unenchanted form with an image editing software. To begin, you should download either Photoshop or GIMP as your image editing software, and one of the Glint Toolkit ZIP.

Download Glint Toolkit ZIP Files

• Photoshop Version
• GIMP Version

Procedure

• Get Source: Take an unenchanted render with BlockRenderer, or a high-detailed render from Minecraft wiki or from Minecraft texture files.
• Resize Image: Resize an item render to either 150px or 512px. Resize a block render to either 300px or 512px.
• Launch Software: Open the corresponding PSD or XCF file from the Glint Toolkit. (Note that items and blocks uses different files. Notice the prefix Ench_Item and Block)
• Apply Glint: Paste the source image into the software as a layer and remove the existing block/item used for demo. (Note: With Photoshop, make sure the glint layer(s) are clipped down to the layer of the block or item. Click here for a video tutorial.)
• Generate Image: Export the result in PNG format.

WikiTools Renders for the latest version (Releases Page) is a fork of the Isometric Renders by Gliscowo (View Mod), which is a very useful mod for general rendering. The benefit of this approach is that features of the Isometric Renders mod can be accessed through WikiTools Renders.

This is a Fabric mod that can make isometric and perpendicular views of an area on the server. This is unlike Mineshot, which requires downloading the world and generally useful when working on a larger area.

Use the /wikirender command to access isometric renders commands, which instructions can be found on the Isometric Renders Wiki.

Instructions

• Load into the area you want to render.
• Press C to start a selection at the selected block (if no block is selected then it starts 5 blocks ahead of the player).
• Press C again to finish the selection at the selected block.
• Use the /wikirender area command to open the render UI.
  • Alternatively, you can input exact coordinates using /wikirender area <coordinates>.
  • (Example: Render hub map with /wikirender area -8 70 -96 -2 76 -96
• Use the sliders on the left to adjust the scale, rotation and slant of the rendered area.
• Once ready, you can press Export on the right to render the image as a png file. Alternatively, you can copy the render to the clipboard to save on storage.
  • Renders can be accessed at \.minecraft\renders or via the Open Folder button.
  • Note: When rendering for the wiki, please use the Programmer Art resource pack ONLY to resemble 1.8 textures.

Not Enough Updates (NEU) Repository (GitHub) - As NEU has a larger team of testers, patrons and players with substantial amounts of in-game coins, their data gathering is usually more efficient than Wiki Editors. It is therefore useful to reference and use data from the NEU Repo. See also:

Image compression tools are useful to shrink the file size. If compression shall be applied, lossless compression is recommended. Below lists some lossless image compression tools:

• The Minecraft Wiki recommends PNGOUT as it's compatible with most operating systems.
• An alternative is the File Optimizer.
