CIT Resewn fork
by slashThree
CIT Resewn fork is a Fabric utility that brings MCPatcher-style CIT custom item textures to the game without requiring OptiFine.
What it does
Resource packs can apply CIT rules that change how an item looks once a condition holds, for example a name set on an anvil, a given enchantment type or level, or a durability limit an item has dropped below. Packs that follow the original OptiFine and MCPatcher layout, with .properties files in the usual asset directories, are read automatically. Vanilla items with static textures are left alone.
Its code continues the CIT features of the original CIT Resewn project, which has stopped receiving updates for the newest Minecraft releases. Players can use traditional OptiFine-style resource packs without installing OptiFine itself, and the mod stays lightweight alongside rendering and optimization mods such as Sodium and Iris.
Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy. Files are published for Fabric only, for 16 release versions 1.21 – 26.2, with 1.0 for 1.21.3 as the latest file. The code is under the MIT License, and the project is not open source as a whole, so the license applies as published.
Key features

Resource packs can replace item appearance, including textures and models, for items that meet the pack's conditions.
