Vanilla Connected Textures

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Resource pack only.

Minecraft 1.21.9–26.2Newest
Minecraft 1.18–1.21.8

⬇ Download for 1.21.9–26.2 ⬇ Download for 1.18–1.21.8

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

This is a texture pack that makes various textures connected, but does not require OptiFine or any other mods!
It works with metals and gems, polished stones, and sandstones.
Due to the vanilla methods being used, there is an unresolvable feature where the blocks connect to any block (apart from leaves, glass, iron bars etc.), but it still looks good!
I have also optimized the pack to the limit, so you shouldn't expect any performance impact!
This doesn't work with any resource pack yet (apart from bookshelves and sandstone blocks), but that's because the connected textures looked awful when I tried.
The bookshelves look amazing, especially in stronghold libraries!
Vanilla Connected Textures
It works by cullfacing sides the opposite way, meaning it will look connected.
