ApertureMapsLib

Large rectangular textures, such as wallpapers, panels and tiles that span several blocks at once, can be used safely through the vanilla texture atlas. Without the library, an atlas can crop such textures, corrupt them or produce visual seams, and Connected Textures Mod patterns can behave incorrectly. The library addresses these cases by protecting the atlas from conflicts and disabling rotation and scaling transformations that cause the problems.

Modders who build their own non-standard textures or block mods with Connected Textures Mod support are the intended users. Integration needs no code: a small metadata file placed beside each texture is enough, and the fixes are then applied automatically to the textures that need them. The example in the author notes uses a 10×5 block pattern with Connected Textures Mod, and a 20×12 run is given as a case the library was built to solve.

The mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with its source code public. Files exist for Forge only, in one game version, 1.12.2, with 1.0.0 as the latest file, first published on 2026-03-23 and last updated on 2026-03-24. Because the environment is client required and server optional, players must install it, and a server may add it for the same effects.
