Stack 'Em Neptune

by tracystacktrace

Stack 'Em Neptune is a compact client-side texture stacking mod that lets several texture packs apply in a set order at the same time.

ForgeModLoaderClient-side onlyApache License 2.0Open sourceb1.7.3 – 1.2.5

What it does

Texture stacking layers several texture packs so that each one can change a different part of the same texture, and the results are glued together at runtime. The stacking order is set by the player, and every stacked pack is read at once instead of being picked one at a time. The mod is a lightweight rewrite of the original Stack 'Em mod, built to cover most vanilla and modded Minecraft versions with fewer features.

The mod runs on the client alone, so players install it and servers need nothing. Builds exist for b1.7.3 and 1.2.5, using a -ml suffix for ModLoader and -nfc for New Frontier Craft on b1.7.3, and a -ml125 suffix for ModLoader and Forge on 1.2.5. New Frontier Craft is required as a dependency. Snapshot builds are published, and the code is open source under the Apache License 2.0.

Key features

  1. Texture stacking

    Several texture packs apply together in a chosen order, each covering the parts it changes.

  2. Runtime item gluing

    Textures from different packs are combined while the game runs, without writing new files.

  3. Loader-specific builds

    Separate files exist for ModLoader on b1.7.3 and for ModLoader and Forge on 1.2.5, marked by suffix.

  4. Reduced feature set

    The port keeps fewer features than the original Stack 'Em, so the mod is smaller to maintain across versions.
