This mod does two things:
- Allows glass, glass panes, and the glass part of beacons to be rendered using translucent textures. Attempting to do this using only a resource pack does not work (pre-26.1) because translucent blocks are rendered during a separate stage.
- Provides a built-in resource pack which reduces the opacity of glass.
Some additional notes:
- You have to enable the built-in resource pack (or an external one that is compatible) in order for this mod to have any effect. Since v0.1.2, this is enabled by default.
- This mod requires the Fabric API, specifically the rendering API. This also means that if you're using it with Sodium <0.6, Indium is required.
- For best results, use Sodium version 0.6 or higher, since that includes proper translucency sorting support.
- The built-in resource pack includes CTM textures, so it will work with Continuity.
- The built-in resource pack includes textures for the Mo Glass mod (Mo Glass version 1.10 or higher required)
- In Minecraft 26.1 and above, this functionality no longer requires a mod. I will continue offering this mod as a wrapper for a resource pack, but you can also download the resource pack directly here.
