The animation is rendered as a 16×16 texture like most other blocks, with {{code\|gear.png}} being downsampled. The gear rotates exactly 1/64 of a full rotation (5.625 degrees) every game tick - this means that although there would theoretically be many possible frames created by intermediate rotations, only 64 unique frames can ever appear in practice. The resulting gear takes 3.2 seconds to make a full rotation and has 18.75 RPM.

	There are two different animations used for gears - one for clockwise rotation, and another for ~~anticlockwise~~ rotation, to allow for logical meshing. These are generated effectively identically, with the only difference being the direction of rotation; both start on the same frame, but cycle through them in the opposite direction.<ref name="geargen">{{Citation\|url=https://github.com/NeRdTheNed/MC-TextureGen/releases/tag/v1.2.0\|title=MC Texture Generator v1.2.0 - Gear support!\|author=[https://github.com/NeRdTheNed NeRdTheNed]\|website=GitHub\|date=August 2, 2021}}</ref>		There are two different animations used for gears - one for clockwise rotation, and another for counterclockwise rotation, to allow for logical meshing.

</noinclude>Code which generates the frames of the gear texture can be found [https://github.com/NeRdTheNed/MC-TextureGen/blob/main/mc-texture-gen-impl/src/main/java/com/github/nerdthened/mctexturegen/generators/GearRotationFramesGenerator.java here].

The animation for gears was generated using two predefined image files - {{code|misc/gear.png}} for the rotating gear and {{code|misc/gearmiddle.png}} for the stationary center.
