- Supports NBT data, durability, stack size, enchantments, and pattern matching.
- Compatible with existing Optifine and MCPatcher-based resource packs out of the box.

What is CIT?
CIT is a feature added by Optifine (and previously MCPatcher) allowing resource pack creators to give items custom textures based on properties like item name or durability. As Optifine is growing outdated, I wanted an alternative to use with better optimization mods, so I made one.

CIT Recrafted server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.12.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Server lagging with CIT Recrafted – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if CIT Recrafted consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
