Icon Exporter

by rubensworks

Icon Exporter writes a PNG icon for every registered item and block, so a player can turn a single game session into a folder of images.

What it does

The mod walks the item registry and considers each item variant it finds, covering both vanilla content and items added by other mods. Each icon is saved as a PNG with a transparent background, at a size of 64 pixels by default. Metadata for items and fluids can also be exported, and a regular expression filter can limit the export to particular mod IDs. Progress is shown while icons render.

Files are named by mod ID, item ID and metadata. When NBT tags are present, the mod can hash them with MD5 instead, using a configuration option, because items with large tags would otherwise produce very long file names. In that case an auxiliary text file with the same base name holds the full tag. Cyclops Core is required, and Forge Config API Port is optional. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and it is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Item and block icons

    Renders PNG icons for items and blocks, covering vanilla and modded content in the registry.

  2. Transparent output

    Images are written with transparent backgrounds, at 64 pixels by default or a size passed on the command line.

  3. Metadata export

    Item and fluid metadata can be exported alongside the icons with a dedicated export command.

  4. Filtered and hashed output

    A mod ID regex limits the export, and an optional setting hashes NBT tags into file names.

Questions

Does Icon Exporter require Cyclops Core?

Yes. Cyclops Core is a required dependency and must be installed alongside Icon Exporter on every loader.

Does Icon Exporter have to be installed on a server?

A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

What happens to items with long NBT tags?

With the hashing option enabled, the NBT tag is hashed with MD5 for the file name, and an auxiliary text file keeps the full tag.
