Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.19–1.20. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
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 mod is intended to use in the Compression modpack, but it will function outside of it.

Its purpose is to make tweaks to ChemLib (and down the line, Alchemistry) as they are needed by the pack.
Current features:
- Fixes the color clamping for tinted chemlib items, that could result in severe discoloration (like greenish gold plates)
- Allows overriding the texture of chemlib items that render the element abbreviation.
- To do so, use a resourcepack and load item models under assets/chemlib/models/item/retextures.
- Make sure the model has a blank texture on layer 0, since that's the one that gets tinted. A blank 16x16 png is included if needed.
- Example: (/assets/chemlib/models/item/retextures/gold_plate.json)
{ "parent": "minecraft:item/generated", "textures": { "layer0": "compressed_chemistry:item/blank_layer0", "layer1": "create:item/golden_sheet" } }
