📋 About This Mod
# Continuity
Continuity is a Minecraft mod that allows resource packs that use the OptiFine connected textures format, OptiFine emissive textures format (only for blocks and item models), or OptiFine custom block layers format to work without OptiFine.
Continuity is client-side only and includes two built-in resource packs. The Default Connected Textures pack provides connected textures for glass, sandstone, and bookshelves, similar to the built-in connected textures provided by OptiFine. The Glass Pane Culling Fix pack culls faces between vertically stacked glass panes to make them look seamless with connected textures.
Formally, Continuity implements the Continuity connected textures specification, Continuity emissive textures specification, and Continuity custom block layers specification. All of these are extensions of the corresponding OptiFine specification and were created to provide more features to resource pack authors. The documentation for the Continuity specifications can be found at the (https://github.com/PepperCode1/Continuity/wiki).
Continuity is developed as a Fabric mod and is recommended to be used with Fabric. However, (https://github.com/Sinytra/Connector) and (https://github.com/Sinytra/ForgifiedFabricAPI) allow Continuity to work well on other mod loaders such as NeoForge and Forge. Releases are made on CurseForge and Modrinth that are marked as working with these mod loaders; these releases contain the same code as equivalent releases for Fabric, but with additional metadata to declare Connector and Forgified Fabric API as dependencies. An official NeoForge version of Continuity that does not require Forgified Fabric API is not planned at this time due to major technical differences between the Fabric and NeoForge APIs.

Continuity is a client-side Fabric mod that lets resource packs using OptiFine's connected textures, emissive textures, and custom block layers work without OptiFine. It includes built-in packs for connected glass and glass pane culling. With 16k endorsements and 70M downloads, it's a staple for resource pack users.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive adoption with 70M downloads and 16k endorsements, proving reliability.
- Eliminates the need for OptiFine just for connected textures, freeing up performance.
- Built-in resource packs give instant visual improvements without extra setup.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Fabric or Connector for other loaders, adding setup complexity for non-Fabric users.
- No official NeoForge version planned, so NeoForge users must rely on third-party compatibility layers.
- Resource packs must use OptiFine formats, so packs without those formats won't benefit.
This is for resource pack enthusiasts who want connected textures without OptiFine's performance hit. It's also for modpack players on Fabric who need OptiFine features but can't use OptiFine. If you use glass-heavy builds, the culling fix is a must-have.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the mod in your mods folder and ensure you have Fabric Loader installed.
- Enable the built-in resource packs in the Resource Packs menu to see connected textures immediately.
- If using NeoForge or Forge, install Connector and Forgified Fabric API alongside Continuity.
