How would I make an inventory image animated? Is this even possible? Such as an enchantment texture: Animated shinyness type thing on tools if enchanted (just an example).

I would also like to know whether this is possible

Nope.

I was thinking the same thing but for wielded items. But I do not believe it is an available option for now.
I could swear though that when I first started using MT that the torches were animated when wielding... of course, I'm psychotic too so.... :P

I guess this is as good as it gets.

I think I've seen that before, maybe in freeminer or voxelands?

It's possible to animate an inventory image. For each frame of animation, register a copy of your item with that frame as its texture. Then in a globalstep callback, search through all players' inventories and look for the item, replacing it with the next frame of animation if found.

That seems a bit inefficient.

code?

I've seen that in a video of sys4, check after 3:21 (it's in French). You may ask him

Alcyone, this is just the effect of the setting “inventory_items_animations = true” as mentioned earlier.
This setting is a client-only setting.

This is missing the point of this thread, I guess the goal is to make it controllable by mods.

Sorry, I do not see your answer.
I can't help on this

I made a github issue for this, but it got shut right down.
paramat...

You mean #4758? It's still open, but it seems people misunderstood the issue.

Obviously this is not in reference to the animated, spinning (or rotating) inventory animations.

In my opinion..., working on animated wielded items would make more sense and a better feature than having animated items in the inventory.
Think how cool it would be to walk around holding a torch... which is animated in the hand : )
(though my brain is still convinced this was possible in an older build) and I have no idea why... back around .0.4.09 or 10?

Then again.... I am heavily medicated so.... it may have been during a transition from one med to another :P
Either that or, I can see into the future.

either way.... I'm telling you..., it was wicked cool!
