CIT Resewn Continued

A fork of the original CIT Resewn mod, updated and maintained to provide compatibility with newer Minecraft versions.

About the Original Project (CIT Resewn)

In vanilla Minecraft, items have static textures. Custom Item Textures (CIT) was a feature originally introduced by MCPatcher and later adopted by OptiFine. It allows resource packs to dynamically replace the appearance, textures, or models of items when specific conditions are met—such as a custom display name (applied via an anvil), specific enchantment types/levels, or item durability thresholds.

CIT Resewn successfully re-implemented this legacy MCPatcher/OptiFine CIT functionality as a standalone Fabric mod. This allowed players to use traditional OptiFine-style resource packs without being forced to install OptiFine itself, keeping the game lightweight and compatible with modern rendering mods.

Purpose of this Fork

As the original CIT Resewn project is no longer actively maintained for the latest Minecraft releases, CIT Resewn Continued has been created to keep the functionality alive.

This fork introduces the following changes and updates:

• Modern Version Compatibility: The codebase has been updated to support newer Minecraft versions and corresponding Fabric API changes.
• Bug Fixes: Includes maintenance updates to resolve rendering issues and crashes caused by internal changes in Minecraft's engine.
• Performance Mod Alignment: Ongoing adjustments to ensure stable compatibility with modern optimization mods like Sodium and Iris.

Features

• Full Legacy Support: Fully backwards compatible with existing OptiFine and MCPatcher resource pack configurations using .properties files.
• No OptiFine Required: Provides CIT capabilities on a pure Fabric stack, avoiding the compatibility drawbacks of OptiFine.
• Asset Loading Paths: Automatically detects and loads CIT assets from the following directories within resource packs:
  • assets/minecraft/citresewn/cit
  • assets/minecraft/optifine/cit
  • assets/minecraft/mcpatcher/cit
  • Mixin-Based Injection: Uses Fabric Mixins to smoothly integrate custom textures into vanilla rendering code without unnecessary overhead.
