Creating Animation Texture

One of the main things in custom animation is the animation texture. Basically, your texture just will store all frames of your animation in one .png file.

Let's try to create texture which will store animated 2D piston.

1. First, we need to get side piston texture (I got it from Minecraft Assets):

2. Second, we need to open it, rotate it, and add some frames:

I will use Aseprite for this, you can use any other program

3. Let's animate each frame:

4. Let's save our texture and done!
