Connecting textures

Connected textures are textures with a special layout which allows them to connect to other blocks when combined with the connecting model type. Fusion offers 7 different connecting texture layouts for different situations.

Here are examples of the full and compact layouts:

Scrolling textures

Scrolling textures are a type of animated texture which scrolls over an image. The scrolling can occur from any corner to any other corner of the texture, even diagonal!
Here is an example of a conveyor belt:

Continuous textures

Continuous textures allow creating textures which span multiple blocks!

📐 Block overlays

Using the features provided by the connecting model and connecting texture type, you can also achieve block overlays!

Custom entity models

Custom entity models and entity model modifiers allow resource packs to change entity models and textures randomly or depending various conditions such altitude, biome, dimension, age, etc.

Frequently-Asked-Questions
