Continuity
Continuity is a Fabric mod built around modern APIs to allow for the most efficient connected textures experience possible. It is designed to provide full Optifine parity for all resource packs that use the Optifine/MCPatcher CTM format.
Continuity depends on the Fabric API and is client-side only. With the mod come two built-in resource packs - one provides default connected textures, similar to Optifine, and the other provides a fix for glass pane culling.
Continuity will not work without the Indium mod if Sodium is installed.
CTM
Nowadays, there are two main CTM (Connected Texture Mapping) formats:
- Optifine/MCPatcher format
- Chisel/ConnectedTexturesMod format
Continuity only supports the Optifine/MCPatcher format. If support for the Chisel format is required, consider using the ConnectedTexturesMod for Fabric instead. Note that using Continuity and CTMF at the same time is an unsupported configuration, at least for the time being.
Forge Version
I do not see myself working on a Forge version of Continuity for two main reasons:
- Optifine. Optifine has native support for Forge, so a Forge version of Continuity would not be very useful in the first place.
- Forge's model API. It is vastly different from Fabric's model API (FRAPI), which is utilized by the Fabric version, and switching to it would not only require an incredible amount of effort, but also result in the mod being extremely inefficient.
This mod causes all active resource packs to become unselected after closing and reopening the game... A fix for this would be greatly appreciated!

Turns out it was a mod conflicting issue, disabled Xaero's Minimap and everything is working great.
The glass and sandstone doesn't seem to connect (I have sodium and indium installed)

Doesn't work in 1.18.2, with sodium and indium. Glass and panes are not connecting.
The texture packs continuity/default and continuity/glass_pane_culling are also weirdly getting deselected, have to select it manually everytime after loading a world. Even then, the glass and panes don't connect.

Hey, can you send a log?
You also need Indium mod in addition to Sodium to make this work.
In reply to valwithoutfriends:
That is stated in the mods description
Does this work with custom block names? (e.g. renamed barrels for a unique texture.)
I tried 1.17.1 and it doesn't work. There is and error msg.
Error: java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not execute entrypoint stage 'client' due to errors, provided by 'continuity'!
hi, I'm trying to get this to work with fabric and sodium to use patrix. I've tried using the mod with and without indium+sodium but it doesn't work either way! (specifically the grass keeps displaying the message "enable connected textures" - is there a setting like this?) It also seems like the example connected textures resourcepacks don't work either. My mod folder is simply the mod and the fabric api at the moment. Edit: Also forgot to mention that the version is the latest 18.1 for all of these.
Optifine has caused my game to take several times longer to start, and its compatibility with other mods is getting worse and worse. I've been looking for a connected texture mod that can load the Optifine format on the forge side, but no one seems to be doing it
In reply to weial_:
While I will agree with this, I don't think anybody's going to really make anything like this for Forge unless they're paid.
This is what i was searching!!! <3 Thanks! <3
I found out that using okzoomer doesn't work at the moment with 1.18.2
In reply to BannanaBro23:
Ahh thanks for posting this. I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get the connected textures to show up... Bummer now I have to find a zoom alternative.
Edit - WI Zoom works if anyone else needs an alternative zoom mod that works with this release.
Hey I found a pack that works, you have to run the continuity glass pane fix

Seems to not work in 1.18.2, I have both sodium and indium's latest versions installed, along with both the continuity/default and continuity/glass_pane_culling in the resource packs section. Please update the mod to resolve these issues. Thank you.
Continuity wont load for me in 1.18.2, it was working just yesterday but I loaded up mc today and the glass wasn't connecting (i have indium) i installed some new mods but when i saw continuity wasn't working i removed them and tried again, still didn't work, (I checked for the "Disable CTM" thing too)
In reply to tr1gonometry:
Same issue, glass won't connect, I have sodium and indium, and both the continuity/default and continuity/glass_pane_culling are in the resource packs section.
