RP Renames Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I actually use RP Renames to change my item's texture?
Open an anvil and place your item in the first slot, then type or select a rename that matches a Custom Item Texture entry in your resource pack. The anvil menu will show the available renames, so click the one you want and confirm the rename to apply the new look.
Where do the rename options show up in the anvil?
They appear directly in the anvil's rename field as you type, pulled from the CIT and CEM entries in your active resource packs. You don't need to memorize exact names — just browse the list that RP Renames adds to the anvil interface.
Do I need to install anything on the server for this to work?
No, RP Renames works client-side, so you only need it on your own game. The renamed item will still function normally on servers, but other players will only see the custom texture if they also have the same resource pack and mod.
Why aren't my custom textures showing up after I rename?
The most common cause is that the resource pack containing the CIT or CEM entry isn't enabled, or the rename you typed doesn't exactly match the pack's expected name. Double-check that the pack is active and that you selected the rename from the list rather than typing a close approximation.
Can I preview a texture before committing to the rename?
Yes, RP Renames lets you switch between multiple custom textures in the anvil so you can see how each one looks before confirming. Cycle through the available renames and pick the one you like best.
Does RP Renames work with any resource pack that has CIT or CEM items?
It works with resource packs that use the standard Custom Item Texture and Custom Entity Model rename conventions. If a pack uses a non-standard naming scheme, its entries may not appear in the anvil list.
Will renaming an item with RP Renames change its stats or enchantments?
No, the rename only affects the item's displayed name and, through the resource pack, its texture. Stats, enchantments, and durability stay exactly the same.
Can I use RP Renames on items other than tools, like armor or weapons?
Yes, any item that has a matching CIT or CEM entry in your resource pack can be renamed and retextured. This includes tools, weapons, armor, and other customizable items.
Does RP Renames hurt my game's performance?
It's a lightweight client-side mod, so performance impact is minimal. The main cost comes from the resource packs themselves, not from the rename menu.
What's the most common mistake people make with this mod?
Typing a rename manually instead of picking it from the list, which often results in a name that doesn't match any CIT or CEM entry. Always select from the options RP Renames shows in the anvil to guarantee the texture applies.
