ReFramed
by Adrien1106
With ReFramed, a block can be wrapped in a frame that takes its look from another block, and players can apply the texture to the frame in a few clicks.
What it does
ReFramed is a Fabric port based on the Template 2 mod. A framed block copies the texture of the block it is built from, and the frame can be rotated when the source block has a rotation, such as logs. Texture randomisation is kept, so a frame can show varied patterns when it is placed next to others. Culling works both against other blocks and against itself, which keeps multitextured blocks drawn cleanly.
The mod is installed on the client and on the server, so the server and every player need it. Fabric API is required, and Athena and Continuity are optional. Files are published for Fabric only, across four game versions: 1.20.1, 1.20.4, 1.21 and 1.21.1. The latest file, 1.6.6.3-1.21.1, targets 1.21.1 and was published on 2026-10-02. Released under MIT AND LGPL-3.0, the project is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Multitexture culling
Culling works with other blocks and with the frame itself, so multitextured blocks render without visible seams.
Texture randomisation
Randomised textures are kept and supported, so framed blocks can show varied patterns across a build.
Rotatable source blocks
Blocks with rotation, such as logs, can be applied to a frame and rotated once placed.
Two-texture blocks
Some retexturable blocks accept two textures, with the frame showing both faces of the source.
Redstone and light
A redstone torch makes the frame emit redstone, and glowstone dust makes it emit light.

Use cases
Hidden wiring
Redstone components can be framed so the circuit reads as a plain wall, which suits decorated builds.
Who it’s for: Builders who want stone, wood or plank walls that mirror other blocks, and players who value texture-based decoration on a Fabric server.
