Hello, recently I've had an issue with inventory GUI. I have drawn out of Inventory edges, and when I enable the resource pack in Minecraft (1.21.4 java), it crops out the image I've drawn to those exact edges. I would really appreciate a solution to this, maybe on how I could increase the area where the GUI is visible(?). I hope it's not too confusing. Provided an example image below:
(At the moment i don't have an access to the computer, so I recreated how I remember it looked)

that large empty space is left over from when these files stored texture sheets instead of individual sprites. why they left the space there instead of just cropping the images, i don't know. but the point is that this space now goes entirely and intentionally unused.

i don't think java edition has a way to make this space used without modding it.

As far as I can tell one would need to mod the game to affect what part of the png files is displayed as the GUIs.

Logically, there ought to be a model (or equivalent) thaht has this information, but if so I don't know where to find them…

BUMPING THE THREAD TO MAKE IT MORE VISIBLE

Probably the gui has some limitaton, how about making the cat semi transparent and adding it in the middle for more detail

Thank you! The cat was merely an example, my original idea was an ender dragon looking at the viewer over the GUI, but now that I know it has limitations I'll tweak that concept a little bit.

Nifty idea… has me wondering if the gui images support animation…

the files in the sprites folder do, but i don't think this extends to any of the other gui textures.
