Unofficial continuation of CIT Resewn for modern Minecraft versions on Fabric and NeoForge.

Introduction

CIT Resewn Continuation keeps OptiFine-style Custom Item Textures working on newer Minecraft versions where the original CIT Resewn is no longer updated.

It lets existing CIT-compatible resource packs keep using renamed item textures, custom item models, armor CIT, elytra CIT, and other legacy CIT features on modern Fabric and NeoForge versions.

In most cases, your existing CIT resource packs should work without needing changes.

Why use this instead of only vanilla item models?

Minecraft’s newer item model system is useful for datapacks, servers, maps, and mods that can give items custom model data or other components.

CIT is still useful because it supports the classic OptiFine-style workflow where resource packs can react to renamed items and legacy CIT rules. This helps existing packs keep working and keeps name-based custom item textures usable on newer Minecraft versions.

Vanilla item models are great for controlled custom items.
CIT is great for existing OptiFine-style packs and rename-based customization.
This mod helps keep that older but still-loved workflow alive.

Supported Versions

Fabric:

Minecraft 26.1
Minecraft 26.1.x
Minecraft 1.21.11
Minecraft 1.21.10

NeoForge:

Minecraft 1.21.11 beta
Minecraft 1.21.10 beta

More versions are planned and currently being tested.

Make sure to download the correct file for your mod loader.

What Works

Item model CIT, including custom models for renamed items
Texture-only CIT, including custom textures for renamed items
Armor CIT on the modern equipment renderer
Elytra CIT
Legacy CustomModelData conditions
Legacy Damage NBT conditions
Legacy item subtexture overrides such as texture.layer1
Non-UTF-8 .properties files with Latin-1 fallback parsing
Enchantment glint overrides, currently first-pass support

NeoForge Status

NeoForge support is currently marked as beta.

Item CIT, texture CIT, model CIT, armor CIT, and elytra CIT have been tested with a large real-world CIT resource pack and showcase world.

Enchantment glint overrides still need additional testing. Performance may vary in extremely CIT-heavy worlds with many displayed items.

What You Need

Fabric:

Fabric Loader
Fabric API
A supported Minecraft version
A CIT-compatible resource pack

NeoForge:

NeoForge
A supported Minecraft version
A CIT-compatible resource pack

Performance

This fork includes optimizations over the original CIT Resewn, including reduced unnecessary CIT render work and faster matching for common name patterns.

If you used CIT Resewn on Minecraft 1.21.1 and noticed frame drops, this continuation may be worth trying on newer versions.

NeoForge builds are still being tested and optimized. Normal gameplay should be fine, but extremely CIT-heavy showcase worlds may perform differently than Fabric.

Modpack Use

Modpack use is welcome.

This project is intended to help players and modpack creators keep existing CIT resource packs working on newer Minecraft versions.

Thank you to the original CIT Resewn, CIT Reforged, MCPatcher, and OptiFine CIT communities for creating and preserving the custom item texture format that so many resource packs still rely on.
