About this Mod

Athena

📖About 📖

Athena is a versatile, cross-platform baked model loader that features built-in support for connected textures.
It employs unique baked models for each type to ensure optimal performance and compatibility across platforms.
Athena's connected texture method (CTM) is designed specifically for these models to minimize unnecessary calculations and resolve common issues.
Additionally, Athena allows for custom checks, such as special vertical culling for glass panes, to further enhance its functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Athena need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Athena as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does Athena require?

Use a file for fabric, forge, neoforge and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Athena is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
