Well, it takes a lot of juggling about five windows the way I do it. :P It might be easier to make a video, but it would take a number of hours to upload, so I'll just explain. I use GIMP, or GNU Image Manipulation Program. You should be able to get it from the windows store or whatever. I use linux, so I can get it with the distro. Anyway, I created a folder on my destop for the old textures, and another for my new ones. To fetch the textures, find the Mod Jar. Open it with some archiver, and drag or extract all the files to some folder somewhere. Doesn't matter where, so long as you know where to find them. Go into that folder, go into assets, lotr, textures, items, and then do a search using your file manager for elven, or whatever you're looking for. Some items are not named the same in the code as they are in-game, so try a number of keywords.

Might as well insert a paragraph break here...

Anyway, They right-click on the image you want to open, and click open with > GIMP. Gimp should open, and you can begin to edit the image. You need to resize your brush, choose the pencil tool, so it is clean and neat and not shaded, and then choose colors. All those controls are located on the left-hand panel. Your image will have opened somewhere on your screen. Make the window really big and change the zoom at the bottom of that window to 2000 percent or something (2000 is what I used, you may need to make it larger or smaller depending on the resolution and size of your screen). Then all you have to do is color the pixels differently, or mak completely new icons. When you're done, click File > Export As > Find a good place to save your Icon. You can create a resource pack with your texture if you want. You'll have to look that up though, I don't remember how.
