Game sprites
Good day, I'm currently making a mod that will replace most of the original sprites. I'm currently facing some problems that supposedly have a solution.

At the moment I can't find a way to change specific sprites of items, namely: headgear, footgear, torches, rings and shields. I'm sure that the original sprites can be changed, since I found 2 mods that replace the amulets https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2968256861 and weapons with shovels https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2850077461 If there is a way to change the rest of the sprites - please let me know.

My other problem is the size of these sprites. I know I can resize the player's body and head sprites to a maximum of 64x64 pixels using a JSON file, but I don't think this works with any other sprites. I tried to resize weapon sprites using the same properties ("width": 64, "height": 64). To no avail. And yes, I also renamed the file to the name of the sprite. Either the JSON file is simply ignored by the game, or I'm doing something wrong. The same thing with entity sprites, the maximum remains 24x24. Is there any way to change this?

If my memory is correct, Synchrony's and also Reaper's sprites are in the encrypted files and we cannot even see the inside. However, I've heard that the sprite files are shared via the developer's Discord.

By the way, I'd expected they finally shared the new sprites inside the game folder when they full released Synchrony, but it was just my dream. Alas.

Well, I guess tomorrow I'll have to go to the server and ask there. I also expected that now I would be able to edit sprites normally with this update, but oh well. In any case, thanks for your reply!

Hi! You can extract sprites via the in-game menus: Pause > Customize > Resource Packs > (Select your own resource pack and press 'Tab') > Add files.

This brings you to a selection menu that allows you to browse all of the game's assets. You can filter them with Ctrl+F, select the assets you'd like to extract, and then hit "Add selected files" to save them to your resource pack in the appropriate paths. Then, you can directly edit the files and see the changes in-game.

Until I read your reply I didn't even know it's able to open the menu by pressing Tab key. Modders will need another mod guide.

Wow, this is not obvious at all, I would never have found this function myself. Thank you for the help!
One more question: is there a way to increase the size of these sprites?
