What it does

CustomItemTextures brings MCPatcher's CIT texture system to Fabric without requiring OptiFine. It is built on CIT Resewn, a fork of the original CIT project, and the mod bundles that fork along with CIT Resewn JSONLagPatch. The main CIT mod serves as the API that adds texture types and conditions in the CIT format, and a set of defaults uses that API to provide the standard types and conditions. Fabric API is required, and the mod is open source under the MIT License.

The code, issue tracker and wiki are public, and the docs site is kept in a docs branch that accepts pull requests. Bug fixes and feature implementations are welcome and usually accepted once verified. Translations are not needed for a pull request. The project is published for 1.20.4 only, and only the client needs it, so servers run without it.

Key features

  1. CIT texture rules

    Item textures can be chosen by conditions in the CIT format, without installing OptiFine.

  2. Default types and conditions

    A defaults module supplies the standard texture types and conditions that ship with the CIT format.

  3. Extension API

    The CIT API lets other mods add new texture types and conditions for their own items.

  4. Bundled CIT Resewn fork

    The mod includes the CIT Resewn fork and its JSON lag patch, so no separate install of that fork is needed.

Questions

Does CustomItemTextures need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside CustomItemTextures on Fabric for 1.20.4.

Does the server need CustomItemTextures?

No. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy.

Does CustomItemTextures include CIT Resewn?

Yes. The CIT Resewn fork and its JSON lag patch are bundled inside the mod, so they do not have to be installed separately.

What the author says

MCPatcher's CIT w/o OptiFine. A reliable fork of CITResewn! The main CIT mod serves as an API to add types and conditions while CIT: Defaults uses that API to provide the default types and conditions that naturally come with the CIT format.
