About this Mod
Illusion
The decoration mod provides a large number of blocks but they have no practical use. Various mods have utility blocks with differing textures, and players may want more tools for pranking...
Illusion can help you solve these issues! This mod allows players to modify the rendering model of a Blockentity while preserving the block's original function.
Features
This mod adds three items: Illusion Crystal, Block State Tool, and Moving Tool.
Illusion Crystal: The core item. Hold the Illusion Crystal in the main hand and any block in the off-hand, then right-click the block entity to change its model. If the off-hand is empty, the block entity will revert to its original model.
Movement Tool: Right-clicking the air changes the movement axis. Right-clicking a transformed block entity moves its model along the positive direction of that axis, while sneaking and right-clicking moves it in the negative direction.
Block State Tool: Right-clicking a transformed block entity cycles through all block states of the rendering model, suitable for changing orientation, waterlogging status, etc.
Mod Integration
This mod integrates with Yuushya Modelling. Holding a Show Block in the off-hand and using the Illusion Crystal can change the block entity to match the model style of the held Show Block.
Compatibility
This mod is compatible with Indigo Renderer and can run safely when Synya Connector is installed.

Server lagging with illusion – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if illusion 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.
