Loading OptiFine-Format Connected and Emissive Packs

Continuity allows you to run resource packs designed for OptiFine's texture systems—including connected textures, custom block layers, and emissive features—without needing OptiFine installed.

Adding and Enabling OptiFine Packs

1. Open Minecraft and select Options > Resource Packs.

2. Click the Open Pack Folder button at the bottom of the screen to open your local directory.

3. Move your downloaded resource pack archive (or folder) directly into this opened folder.

4. Return to the game window. The pack should now appear in the Available list on the left.

5. Hover over the pack, click the right arrow to transfer it to the Selected list, and click Done.

What Continuity Supports

Continuity reads the pack's formatting directly to display:

  • Connected Textures (CTM): Blocks defined by the pack will connect dynamically depending on their neighbors.
  • Emissive Textures: Specific parts of block and item models will appear brightly illuminated in the dark, maintaining full brightness regardless of ambient light levels.
  • Custom Block Layers: Packs that define custom rendering layers for translucent or cutout blocks will render as intended on your screen.
