Generating Item and Building Icon Files

This docs page has yet to be written. Looking to help out? Feel free to contribute. Contact us on the discord if you have any questions.

This page will eventually walk through using an Icon Generator tool to create icon images from the meshes of items and buildings. Until then, look at the list of community created tools and the tools' own documentation.
