About this project

What does Forge CIT add?

Forge CITForge CIT is an Unofficial Fork of CITResewn made to work with Forge Mod Loader.

Note: Please avoid reporting CIT Forge's issues on the CITResewn Github, report to linked issues page instead

Why do I want this?

Forge CIT is MCPatcher's CIT features re-written outside of Optifine as a standalone mod for forge.

MCPatcher had a feature called Custom Item Textures (or CIT for short) which was later adopted by Optifine.

Custom Item Textures allowed resourcepacks to replace the appearance of items when they met certain conditions.

Forge CIT does exactly that but as a standalone Fabric mod which does not require MCPatcher nor Optifine!

On top of that, Forge CIT aims to build upon the concept of CITs by expanding the available types and conditions.

More info on how to use them can be found on the CIT Resewn docs page

How is it different than MCPatcher/Optifine's CIT?

CIT Resewn is intended to be fully backwards compatible with the old Optifine/MCPatcher packs. Though there are some key differences.

First, the numeric id system was removed since the Flattening. Packs utilizing the so called "magic numbers"

instead of the new text ids will not work.

Second, Optifine and old minecraft versions have a bug which allows resourcepacks to put files in malformatted(or "broken") paths.

These are paths that contain "Non (lower cased) a-z, 0-9, dots, underscores and dashes" characters within either the file name or its parent directories.

These packs will no longer work and have to be manually fixed

Lastly, to ensure compatibility with foreign packs, CITs will be loaded from .properties files under:
assets/minecraft/citresewn/cit
assets/minecraft/optifine/cit
assets/minecraft/mcpatcher/cit

Does Forge CIT support Optifine/Rubidium?

While Forge CIT is designed to work without any performance mod needed, there will be a good faith attempt to make it work with Rubidium although there is no guarantees.

With that said, there will be no support for Optifine at all.
