About this Mod
A mod which adds various timber frame blocks and a tool to customize the shape of the frames using a connective texture system.



Fusion and Patchouli are required for 1.20.1+ versions
(CTM is required for previous versions)















Issues & Compatibility
Will there be a Fabric port?
- I hope so, it's high on the to-do list.
Are the 1.20.1+ versions compatible with previous versions worlds?
- No, Timber Frames for 1.20.1+ was re-written from the ground up to improve performance and maintenence.
What things have changed during the rewrite?
- Various features have been changed and some have been (temporarily) removed to release as soon as possible, and we've shifted our connected textures handler from CTM over to Fusion.
- This includes the removal of barn-related blocks, the isolation variant, natural generation of soul clay (now crafted from clay and soul sand), as well as change in recipe for the broad knife.
- Expect barn-related blocks to return eventually!
Will this mod be available for version X?
Can I use Optifine?
- Maybe, but I would advise against it. The recommended mods for performance/visuals are Embeddium and Oculus.
If you have any bug reports, please leave them on our Github Issue Tracker.

Features & More
Are there any modded wood variants?
- No, but we're looking into using Every Compat to allow for dynamic wood variant additions.
Are there any planned features?
- We're focusing on getting this version stable and releasing other mods, but we want to be able to expand the connection system and add new blocks in the future.
Can I use this in my modpack and/or server?
- Yes, as long as it's downloaded from our official sources.
What is Rasa Novum?
- We're a small group of mostly amateur developers making mods for our modpack and eventual server of the same name.
