Frequently asked questions

What does the Athena Mod actually do?
Athena is a baked model loader that lets resource packs use connected textures and custom baked models across loaders and platforms. If you installed it expecting a standalone feature, note that it mostly works behind the scenes supporting packs and other mods that rely on it.
How do I know Athena is working?
Athena has no in-game blocks or items of its own, so the clearest sign it's active is that a resource pack using Athena-style connected textures renders correctly instead of showing unconnected or missing textures. If packs with CTM look right, Athena is doing its job.
Do I need to enable anything in the config to use connected textures?
Athena's CTM support is built into its baked models, so the main requirement is a resource pack that ships Athena-compatible connected texture definitions. If a pack's CTM isn't appearing, the issue is usually the pack's model/CTM files rather than a toggle you forgot to flip.
Why do my connected textures look broken or only partially connect?
Athena resolves connections per baked model type, so a pack whose CTM definitions don't match the block's model type can connect incorrectly or not at all. Check that the pack was authored for Athena's CTM format rather than a different mod's connected texture system.
