Laminate
Lets item definitions optionally fall back to lower-priority packs
About this Mod
Purpose
This mod gives conditional item definitions the option to fall back to the
definition provided by a lower-priority resource pack. This mimics the
behavior of the original Custom Item Textures (CIT) mod, which allowed
replacement rules from multiple packs to be applied to the same item. Rather
than CIT's custom priority numbers, the pack order determines priority.
Installation
Add the mod JAR to your Fabric mods folder.
Usage
This mod adds a feature to item model definitions which can be used by
resource pack designers. It is always active when the mod is installed.
Recall the JSON files found at assets/minecraft/item are item definitions;
the item models used for rendering are under assets/minecraft/models/item.
To indicate that an item definition should use the next-highest-priority
pack's definition as its fallback, create a field "definition_fall_through"
as a sister of your "fallback" field, and set it to true. The fallback thus
annotated will be replaced by the contents of the next pack's definition for
that item.
Packs still ought to provide a valid vanilla fallback model.

Laminate server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric 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 (1.21.11). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Laminate compatible with fabric?
Laminate officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.11. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Laminate – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Laminate 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.
