Try to use textures in multiples of 16x, otherwise the texture may be distorted.

The best way to obtain Minecraft assets is to go directly to mcasset.cloud

MCMeta & Animated Textures

To make animated textures you need to multiply the size of the texture vertically, for example to add only one frame instead of 16x16 it is now 16x32 and has no limit, and so on with each frame you want to add.

Parameter	Description
interpolate	The font type, in this case, is bit-map for image-based chars. If true, Minecraft generates additional frames between frames with a frame time greater than 1 between them
height	The height of the sprite, in pixels. This is also unused in vanilla, but can be used by resource packs to have frames that are not perfect squares. Defaults to the image's height if "width" is defined, and the smaller of the image's dimensions if it's not
frametime	Sets the default time for each frame in increments of one game tick. Defaults to
frames	Contains a list of frames. Defaults to displaying all the frames from top to bottom.

Scaling Options in MCMeta & Custom Tooltip Example

Minecraft allows to add new tooltips through the tooltip_style component, for example you need to create two textures with a prefix similar to <name>_background and <name>_frame

Existing types of scaling

Parameter	Description
stretch	default method
tile	the sprite is repeated across the desired space, starting from the top-left.
nine_slice	the sprite is sliced into 4 corners, 4 edges, and 1 center slice, which is tiled across the desired space.

More scaling options

Parameter	Description
width	The width of the sprite, in pixels.
height	The height of the sprite, in pixels.
border	An array of chThe size in pixels that the border slices should cover on-screen
stretch_inner	the stretch_inner option means whether the texture will be stretched or not, to avoid mixels or something like that deactivate it
