What it does

Some item models show thin transparent seams where faces meet. The mod patches the rendering code so those gaps are drawn closed. Only the client needs it, so players install it while servers run without it. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source. Builds cover 1.8.9 and 1.12.2, with v0.1.0 for 1.12.2 as the latest file, published on 2025-03-16.

Key features

  1. Closed model gaps

    Transparent lines and gaps in affected item models are no longer visible after the patch is applied.

  2. Mixin-based patching

    The fix uses mixins instead of class transformers, which keeps the changes narrower in the game code.

  3. Backport base

    The item model fix is based on Sk1erLLC's backport, with the broken modcore dependency removed.
