CIT Resewn
by shsupercm
CIT Resewn brings custom item textures from resource packs to Fabric, changing how matching items look without MCPatcher or OptiFine.
What it does
CIT Resewn re-implements MCPatcher's custom item texture feature as a standalone Fabric mod. Resource packs can change how an item appears when the item matches the conditions a pack defines. The mod reads .properties files from the citresewn, optifine and mcpatcher cit folders, so packs written for those tools load without changes to their layout.
The mod extends the original concept with more item types and matching conditions. Numeric IDs from before the Flattening are not supported, so packs that rely on those values need text IDs instead. An optional setting allows malformed paths that some older packs use, but the author describes it as experimental and advises against enabling it. The project does not provide OptiFine support, and compatibility with other mods is not promised.
Running only on the client, it is published for Fabric alone, with no Forge or NeoForge build. Files cover 16 release versions, and the latest file is 1.2.2+1.21 for 1.21.1, released on 2024-10-18 on the beta channel. Source code is licensed under the MIT License, making the project open source. Eight other catalog mods require it, including CITResewnNeoPatcher, Murder Drones Origins and Mason's Armory.
