Vanilla Materials Expanded

Matches every stick to its source wood texture. Lightweight, vanilla friendly, and 100% mod compatible! Resource pack included!

I have a lot more planned for this project!

HOW TO INSTALL AS A DATAPACK

Just put the zipped file into your worlds datapacks folder AND your resource pack folder. If it says it is outdated, ignore the message. As long as you are on the version you put in when downloading it will work. The datapack will show up as incompatible but it will work anyway.

Variety of Sticks

Lots of sticks!

FAQ

Does this work on a server? Yes. For the datapack version go into your servers folders and go to world -> datapacks and put the datapack there. This datapack works multiplayer so play with however many people you would like! Keep in mind every player needs the resource pack or mod to see the items correctly.

Incompatibles

Some resource packs might override the new stick textures, to fix this put the STTS resource pack at the top.
