Continuity Unofficial Port 1.16
by sh4rkune
Continuity Unofficial Port 1.16 brings OptiFine-style connected textures to Fabric on Minecraft 1.16, letting resource packs use the OptiFine connected textures format.
What it does
Continuity lets resource packs use the OptiFine connected textures format without OptiFine installed. Blocks such as glass, sandstone and bookshelves join visually with their neighbours, and emissive textures, custom block layers and item models can be defined in the same format. The mod ships two built-in resource packs: Default Connected Textures, which supplies connected textures for glass, sandstone and bookshelves in a way similar to OptiFine, and Glass Pane Culling Fix, which removes faces between vertically stacked glass panes.
This is an unofficial port of Continuity to Minecraft 1.16, backported by PlayReissLP from the original Fabric mod by Pepper Bell. The mod requires Fabric API and is client-side only, so servers need nothing. Builds exist for 1.16 – 1.16.5, with 1.1.0+1.16 for 1.16.5 as the latest file. Sodium users need Indium for Continuity to work, and ModernFix is reported to be incompatible with it.
Key features
Connected textures
Blocks in the same group connect to their neighbours, so walls of glass or sandstone read as one surface.
OptiFine format support
Resource packs can use the OptiFine connected textures format, along with emissive textures and custom block layers.
Built-in resource packs
Default Connected Textures and Glass Pane Culling Fix are included and can be enabled in the resource pack menu.
Glass pane face culling
The Glass Pane Culling Fix pack removes faces between vertically stacked glass panes, so the panes read as one continuous wall.

How it compares
WesterosContinuity is a Fabric, client-side only mod for 1.21 – 26.1.2, released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Translucent Glass is also Fabric and client-side only, for 1.20 – 26.2, under the same license. Better Glass Panes is open source under the MIT License, but it runs on client and server for 1.21.1 only, so it does not cover this version.
