📋 About This Mod

|version|loader availability|note| |--:|:-:|:--| |1.21.1|Fabric|| |1.20.4|Fabric|*(low priority)*| |1.20.1|Fabric|| Templates adds retexturable blocks. Place a Template and right-click it with any full-size block, and the Template will look just like that block. You can make custom fences, walls, stairs, slabs, trapdoors, levers, buttons, *candles*, *TNT*, and more. * Click with **Glowstone Dust** to make it emit light. * Click with a **Redstone Torch** to make it act as a redstone power source. * Click with a **Popped Chorus Fruit** to make it non-solid. It is a mod in the long tradition of "Carpenter's Blocks", "Framed Blocks", and friends. It is not the first implementation of this idea, and it won't be the last. It's also not too hard for other mods to interface with Templates and add their own templatable blocks. **New in 2.2.0**: Supports connected textures! I tested Chisel Reborn, but any mod that implements `FabricBlock#getAppearance` should work. ⚠ Templates was originally conceived as a tech-demo for, and tests the limits of, the Fabric Rendering API. You'll need a compatible renderer implementation installed. Fabric API includes one called *Indigo*, but it is not compatible with (https://modrinth.com/mod/sodium). If you use Sodium, you might need to install a mod like (https://modrinth.com/mod/indium) for Templates to work properly. !(https://cdn-raw.modrinth.com/data/cL15qXuP/images/ea0621b74af25d5ab1d3e5d9e1f289c8a72be878.png) !(https://cdn-raw.modrinth.com/data/cL15qXuP/images/3b6e387b1017f11fc47d41f17b7d8ab4d6b8bb83.png)
