About this Mod

(Fabric Loader and Cloth Config are required.)

This is an implementation of the flat item look from early versions of minecraft! It overrides the item rendering code, and comes with plenty of visual and gameplay options.

Items with Shadows Enabled

An option also exists to generate all item models as flat, which is a good way to improve performance and the flat aesthetic.
