Enabling Block Self-Blending With Sodium

Setting Up Sodium With the Pack

Players moving away from older connected-texture setups should note that Deep Origins Overlays drops support for OptiFine and Continuity. Instead, the pack is built around Fusion and integrates with the Sodium mod and Respackopts. Running Sodium alongside the pack unlocks an exclusive setting that lets blocks blend into themselves.

Turning On Block Self-Blending

By default, transitions focus on borders between two different block types, such as grass meeting sand. With Sodium active, you can expand blending to matching blocks as well.

1. Ensure Sodium, Fusion, and Respackopts are all loaded in your client.

2. Open Options, go to Resource Packs, and confirm Deep Origins Overlays is in the active right-hand column.

3. Open the pack's in-game configuration menu using the Respackopts settings button.

4. Locate and enable the option that allows blocks to blend into themselves when playing with Sodium.

5. Exit the settings screen and click Done to reload resources.

Once the reload finishes, look across wide surfaces made of identical blocks in your world. With self-blending turned on, neighboring blocks of the same material merge into each other naturally, softening grid repetition while keeping the familiar vanilla art style intact.
