malcolmriley's Unused Textures (filtered)
Note: I have removed those textures which I was able to identify as substantial derivatives of official Minecraft assets. If you're making a Minecraft mod and/or don't mind editing out the violating material, see the original GitHub repo instead.
Original description follows.
Unused Textures
This repository contains a number of textures I've created over the years. They're not really doing me any good sitting on my hard drive so I've gathered them here for you to use. While they were originally intended for use in various never-finished or never-released mods for Minecraft, I suppose you could use them for just about anything else. Other games, an application icon, YouTube channel logo...
Most are just simple 16x16 RGBA sprites; of those that were intended to be animated, I have included accompanying .mcmeta files for the convenience of those interested in incorporating them into their own Minecraft mods. They vary in quality somewhat as they collectively represent approximately seven years of what I would like to believe is self-improvement.
I tried to name the textures such that any local clone of the repository would be searchable (for instance, one can search "blob" to get all the "blobby" textures) but I hesitate to call the naming pattern a "system"... or even a "pattern" for that matter.
I've been updating this repository every now and then as I create new textures or find more old ones, so if you've forked or cloned this, don't forget to at least do a git fetch every once in a while!
Gallery View
GitHub user oparisblue has created the marvelous Minecraft Textures Viewer, allowing one to view the contents of a local folder or a GitHub repository as a searchable image gallery! It even reads .mcmeta files, so animated textures mostly appear as they would in-game. If you'd like to peruse these textures through the lens of their splendid project, simply follow this link. Great for viewing repositories such as these, or for a top-level view of your modpack, or whatever other use case you can think of.
