Continuity uses .properties files within resource packs to determine how textures should connect. It supports a wide variety of connection methods, allowing for complex patterns and transitions.

Method Description Tile Requirement
ctm The standard 8-way connection method. 47 tiles
ctm_compact A simplified version of the standard method. 5 tiles
horizontal Connects only to blocks on the left and right. 4 tiles
vertical Connects only to blocks above and below. 4 tiles
top Connects only to the block directly above. 2 tiles
random Randomly selects from a pool of textures. Variable
repeat Repeats a fixed pattern over a large area (e.g., 2x2 or 4x4). Variable
overlay Places a texture on top of another block's texture. 17 tiles

Emissive Specifications

Emissive textures are handled by looking for a specific suffix in the texture filename. By default, any texture ending in _e.png will be rendered with full brightness. This behavior can be customized using an emissive.properties file located in the assets/minecraft/optifine (or equivalent) directory.
