Set Up Connected Textures for Block Overlays to Work
Why Your Overlays Aren't Showing
Matcha Block Overlays requires a connected textures mod to function. Without one, the smooth transitions between blocks won't render—you'll see the pack's base textures only.
Installing a Connected Textures Mod
You need either OptiFine or Continuity installed in your game:
- OptiFine: Install as a Forge mod or standalone. Once active, connected textures load automatically.
- Continuity: A lighter alternative for Fabric. Install via your mod manager.
Both mods read the overlay files Matcha Block Overlays provides and blend block edges where they meet.
Checking Your Setup
Load a world with the pack active. Look at:
- Mossy cobblestone touching dirt or stone
- Grass and stone meeting on a cliff
- Brick blocks placed next to each other
If edges are sharp and pixelated, your connected textures mod isn't running. If they're soft and blended, you're set.
Pack Load Order
Place Matcha Block Overlays *above* other overlay packs in your resource pack menu. This ensures its blending effects take priority over conflicting textures from other packs.
