Shadeless Blocks
by Argis
Shadeless Blocks turns off Minecraft's default block shading for both vanilla and modded blocks, on Forge for 1.12.2.
What it does
Minecraft shades block faces by direction, which can make some textures look darker on certain sides. This mod intercepts the block models while the game starts up and recreates them with shading turned off, so the flat look applies across the blocks it covers. Blocks from the base game and from other mods are handled automatically, with no setup required.
Key features
Unshaded blocks
Default block shading is disabled, so blocks keep a uniform brightness on every face.
Modded blocks included
Blocks added by other mods are processed alongside the base game's blocks at startup.
Startup model rebuild
Block models are recreated with shading off while the game loads, so nothing needs to be edited by hand.
