Where does Mineimator 2.0 get the textures from?

[moniker 67]

I've noticed that if I delete the Mine_Imator folder from \AppData\Roaming Mineimator 2.0 does not generate a new one. Im puzzled since im wondering where it is then getting the textures from? I wanted to change the textures into something else but I cannot find where this version gets the stuff from.

I double checked and 1.2.9 does generate a new Mine_Imator folder but not 2.0. What is going on with this?

2.0 uses a new location: in AppData/Local/Temp/Mine-imator_tmp to store the files.

And the Minecraft textures come from the jar files in the versions folder of the .minecraft directory in AppData/Roaming.

I succesfully replaced the textures but they seem to revert back at random times to the default ones. Why is that?

Anyone knows why Mineimator 2.0 keeps reverting the textures back to default after replacing them? wtf

They revert after manually replacing the .pngs in the _tmp folder?
Can you provide step by step how to recreate it?

They revert but I don't know when. I don't know how to recreate this, since I just open Mineimator, after a day, 2, or so days, it eventually changes to default.

AppData\Local\Temp\Mine-imator_tmp\Minecraft_unzip\1.18\assets\minecraft\textures is where I place the textures

The textures just got reverted back to default .. looks like whenever i restart the computer it goes back to default or something.

What i've noticed is there's 2 folders:

\AppData\Local\Temp\Mine-imator_tmp\Minecraft_unzip\1.18\assets

\AppData\Local\Temp\Mine-imator_tmp\unzip\assets\minecraft

Should I replace the textures on both? On the second folder the textures are from some texture pack that I use on the project, they are not the default ones.

 

It just keeps going back to normal when I replace them on "\AppData\Local\Temp\Mine-imator_tmp\Minecraft_unzip\1.18\assets" which I assume it's the place to put them  @david

First folder is for the default resource pack (labeled "Minecraft" under Resources) loaded during startup, the second is a temporary folder used when importing resource packs. Modifying the images in unzip won't affect anything. Modifying the images in Minecraft_unzip will take effect when restarting MI. The reason it's not intuitive is because this folder isn't meant to be accessed by users, really.

I see, but the problem stands: when I replace Minecraft_unzip textures it goes back to normal at some point. Not sure if when I restart the computer or something else happens, but it goes back to default 1.18 ones.
