I've always wondered how people make the lifelike animations, and I just found out today that they are called Sprite Packs. What are Sprite Packs and, more importantly, how do I get one?

Hi, where you found it?

Note: This belongs in “Questions About Scratch”, not here.


From the Scratch Wiki:

A sprite pack is a type of project that contains sprites for usage of other users, usually consisting of 10-30 sprites. However, there is no set limit of sprites for sprite packs. A sprite pack usually has a theme, but does not require one. Example themes include cars, dogs, dinosaurs, etc. A sprite pack can also contain sprites from existing video games.

Ideally, a user should give credit if they use a sprite from someone else's sprite pack, animation, game, or any other project.

A sprite pack may also be called a sprite collection, but they are the same type of thing. Sprite Packs can also be found on other websites, but they must be ripped from a sprite sheet.


Creative Characters Camp encouraged users to create their own sprite packs.

1.) I'm fairly new and don't even know how to reply to comment's properly, unless if this is it. XD
2.) I remixed a project because it had a Sprite Pack that I wanted and the original owner asked me why I didn't just get the sprite pack. That's not EXACTLY what happened but It's close.

Thank you, but that doesn't answer the question on how do I get one. I'm very new so you may have to take me through baby steps.

I suspect you'd have to search for projects.

If you want a Sprite Pack, search it up, or click the link on the project you found if they've given credit. Do NOT remix the sprite pack; it'll just add to the remix tree. Instead, make sure to click “See Inside” on the Sprite Pack's project page. Then, click and drag all of the sprites you want onto the small tab on the bottom of the page called the “backpack”. Keep in mind that they do not auto-credit, so you'll need to write that you got those sprites from that sprite pack inside of the notes and credits of your new project. Afterwards, go into your project, click on the backpack tab to open it, and drag all of the sprites you just took and put it into the project. The “backpack” is basically a way to duplicate sprites, scripts, backgrounds, costumes, sounds, and whatever else between projects.

Thank you!!! This helps a lot!
