CIT Recrafted

by EclipsedReaper

CIT Recrafted lets resource packs retexture items on Forge 1.12.2 by matching rules against item type, NBT data, damage, stack size and enchantments.

What it does

Custom Item Textures (CIT) lets a resource pack swap the look of an item based on its properties. Written from scratch for Minecraft 1.12.2, this mod supplies a current Custom Item Textures engine. Resource packs are loaded directly by the mod, and rules can match on item type, item ID, NBT data, durability, stack size and enchantments, including pattern matching with regular expressions.

Existing packs written for OptiFine and MCPatcher are compatible out of the box, so a pack that already retextures items can be used without changes. Where the OptiFine implementation matches only simple values, this engine also accepts percentage and range conditions. The mod is a client-side library: only the player's client runs it, so servers do not need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Forge is the only loader with files, for the 1.12.2 game version.

Key features

  1. Item type matching

    Rules can target an item by its type or by its item ID, so a texture applies to exactly the items a pack names.

  2. NBT and enchantment matching

    Rules can read NBT data and enchantments on a stack, letting a pack distinguish enchanted or tagged items from plain ones.

  3. Damage and stack size conditions

    Durability and stack size can be matched with percentages and ranges, so textures can change as an item wears or as a stack grows.

  4. Regex and pattern matching

    Pattern matching with regular expressions widens the rules a pack can express, beyond what the OptiFine implementation supports.

  5. Rules reference in the mod

    The supported CIT rules are listed in the mod, so pack authors can check which conditions are available before writing them.
