Connected Glass
Connected Glass gives glass blocks textures that join up with neighboring glass, a look that many glass mods on Forge 1.7.10 omit.
What it does
Glass placed next to other glass shows continuous edges instead of a separate pane for every block. The mod is a standalone, lightweight implementation of connected glass textures, built so that other mods do not have to bring their own glass types with the same behavior. Its author notes describe it as an archival upload of an older project, first made by immibis and originally described on the FTB Forum.
Connected Glass is licensed under the MIT License and is not open source in the sense of publishing its source code here. It runs on the client only, so servers do not need it. Forge is the only loader, and files exist for 1.6.4, 1.7.2 and 1.7.10, with 59.0.3 for 1.7.10 as the latest release, published 2023-06-15.
Key features
Connected glass textures
Adjacent glass blocks join their textures so panes read as one continuous surface.
Standalone implementation
The connected texture logic works without a separate glass-type mod or Optifine.
Archived project
The mod was uploaded to Modrinth with the original author's permission, for archival purposes.
