About this project

What does Chains-Link add?

Chains-Link is a Fabric mod.

What does this mod do?

-Chains have sticky properties (behave like slime blocks with pistons), but only on their defined axis. In other words, chains only stick to blocks on their ends, not on their sides.

-Chains can also have 0-6 different branches from one block, meaning you can create intersections and corners with chains. Combined with the sticky behavior, this means you can make custom slime blocks.
-Lanterns (normal and soul) can now float, and be pushed/pulled with pistons.

note: requires Fabric API for models to render correctly
