Fusion (Connected Textures)
Fusion is a library that lets resource packs use connected textures and custom entity models, adding texture and model types for pack authors and other mods.
What it does
Fusion is a library that lets resource packs use texture and model types the base game does not provide. A connected texture uses a special layout so a block's faces join visually with neighboring blocks, provided the connecting model type is applied. Fusion offers seven connecting texture layouts for different situations, including full and compact arrangements.
The library itself adds no blocks or items to a world. It is used through resource packs and through other mods that integrate with it. Fusion is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and it requires Fabric API. It runs client-side only, and it is not open source: it is released under All rights reserved, with public source code, issue tracker and wiki links.

Use cases
Resource pack authors
Authors can build connected textures and custom entity models without writing their own loader code for each block type.
Mod developers
Other mods can integrate with Fusion as an optional soft dependency to support its texture and model features.
Who it’s for: Resource pack authors who want connected textures, and players who use texture packs that depend on Fusion.
How it compares
Continuity is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and runs client-side only on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, for 1.17.1 – 26.3. Athena is open source under the MIT License and runs client-side only on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, for 1.19.4 – 26.1.2. Fusion is not open source and is also limited to client-side use, but it covers the same four loaders as Continuity.
