Download Release version 0.2.1 out now
Requires
- Tom’s Simple Storage Mod
- Forge 47.4.0+
- Minecraft 1.20.1
Features
- Added Slabs as functional Inventory Trim blocks, bottom top and stacked variants.
- Slabs are Paintable with smart texture, light, and particle effect mirroring of paint-source block or slab.
- Added Paint Kit function to use slab-type textures as paint-source.
- Added Paint Kit function so block-type paint-source applied to Trim Slab finds slab-type textures to apply, and vice versa for slab-type paint-source, using common naming patterns.
- Configurable paint override mappings for irregularly named slab and block equivalents.
- Light emission, particle effects, and translucence are mirrored by painted Trim Slabs and Stacked Slabs.
- Planned: floor/ceiling/wall/corner Inventory Cable variants.
Paint Hint: Copying a slab-type for slab targets and a block-type for block targets may give more reliable results.
Notes
- This is an addon which depends on Tom’s Simple Storage Mod.
- When no slab-type variant for a block-type paint-source is found, the mod will render a texture based on the paint-source.
- Some unusual or custom block models may need manual config overrides to map slab-type textures to equivalent block-type textures.
