Mapping Custom Textures to Conveyor Items

Create Chain Conveyors Compat Mod lets you assign specific block textures to any connector item so factory lines display properly.

Editing the Chain Texture Data Map

Custom textures are defined using a dedicated data map JSON file within a data pack:

1. Create or navigate to the file path: createchaincompat/data_maps/item/chain_tex_data.json.

2. Define your item and its corresponding block texture inside the values object. Follow this structure:

`json

{

"values": {

"minecraft:melon_slice": {

"texture": "minecraft:textures/block/melon_side.png"

}

}

}

`

3. Replace the item key and texture path with the item ID and block texture path you want to display on your conveyor line.

4. Save your changes to chain_tex_data.json.

Applying Texture Changes In-Game

You do not need to restart your game after modifying the texture mapping:

1. Open the chat window in your active world.

2. Run the command /reload.

The game reloads custom data map files immediately, updating the visual appearance of configured conveyor lines in your factory without interrupting your session.
