Seamless glass
Glass blocks and panes join into clean windows out of the box with the built-in Default Connected Textures pack.
Continuity Mod enhances Minecraft’s visual quality by enabling smooth connected textures and emissive effects for compatible resource packs. It helps glass, decorative blocks, and detailed builds appear more refined, consistent, and visually immersive without altering the core gameplay experience.
Continuity Mod by Pepper_Bell removes the grid lines between matching blocks. Put four glass blocks together and you get one clean window instead of four framed squares.
It also reads connected-texture, emissive and custom-layer data from resource packs made for OptiFine, so your favourite packs keep working on Fabric.
Download ContinuityContinuity is a client-side Minecraft Java Edition mod by Pepper_Bell that supports connected textures and selected OptiFine-format resource-pack features. It helps repeated blocks look like parts of a larger surface while keeping the familiar block-based style of Minecraft.
In a standard glass wall, each block can display its own frame. Connected textures can remove the repeated inner borders between matching blocks, allowing a window to read as one continuous surface. The same idea can give other supported materials more consistent patterns.
This is especially useful for large windows, glazed corridors and greenhouses, where repeated lines can distract from the view. You still place and break individual blocks; the change is in how supported surfaces appear.
Continuity focuses on texture rendering rather than adding building blocks, crafting recipes or progression systems. Its client-side effects change what you see in your own game, so another player's view depends on that player's visual setup.
The final result depends on the blocks, texture rules and resource packs you enable. A compatible pack can supply connected patterns or supported emissive details. Installing the mod does not mean every block or every feature in an OptiFine resource pack will automatically change.
Resource-pack order also matters when several packs replace the same material. Start with a small wall of matching blocks and inspect the edges and corners before using a texture combination throughout a large build.
Choose a Continuity release that supports your Minecraft version and mod loader, then install the dependencies listed for that release. Activate the intended resource packs and test your setup in a separate world. Continuity is a Java Edition mod; its Java mod file cannot be installed as a Bedrock or MCPE add-on.
Even this section is joined like Continuity glass — no gaps between the pieces.
Glass blocks and panes join into clean windows out of the box with the built-in Default Connected Textures pack.
Reads OptiFine's connected textures format, so most CTM resource packs work on Fabric.
Supports OptiFine-style emissive textures on blocks and item models for glowing details.
The default pack also connects sandstone and bookshelves for smoother builds.
A second built-in pack fixes the inner faces of glass panes so they don't show through.

Connected textures sound complicated. Underneath, Continuity Mod does something simple: it looks at each block's neighbours and picks the right piece of texture for that spot.
Without the mod, each glass block has a full border, so a wall of glass looks like a grid of separate tiles.
Continuity checks the blocks above, below and to each side. If a neighbour matches, that edge should disappear.
The matching edges are dropped and the blocks render as a single connected surface — fast enough to stay out of your FPS.
Choose your loader — the steps update to match.
Run the Fabric installer (or Quilt installer) and select your Minecraft version.Install Forge 1.20.1 or NeoForge 1.21.1 — the only versions with Continuity Forge-side builds.
Download Fabric API for the same Minecraft version.Download Sinytra Connector and Forgified Fabric API for that version.
Put the Continuity .jar (the Forge or NeoForge build) and the dependencies into %appdata%\.minecraft\mods.
Launch the game, open Options → Resource Packs and make sure “Default Connected Textures” is enabled. Add any OptiFine-format CTM pack on top.
Continuity only needs one other mod on Fabric. Put these in your mods folder and the result is connected glass.
Plan builds around uninterrupted views and consistent materials. Test the chosen blocks and pack together before expanding a design.
Frame a landscape with a large window, bring daylight into a greenhouse or build a glazed corridor across a valley. Beams and recessed frames can add depth around the connected surface.

Find your Minecraft version and board the right build. Compare the available game versions, mod builds and loaders.
There is no build made for 1.21.9. Mojang released 1.21.10 just days later as a hotfix, so update your game to 1.21.10 and use the 1.21.10 build.
Both have dedicated 3.0.1 beta builds for Fabric and Quilt. “Beta” means it's newer code — it works well for most players, but keep a backup of your world.
A lot of players search for Continuity on Bedrock and Minecraft PE. Here's the honest answer before you download anything.
| Tool or platform | Role | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Continuity | Connected textures and supported resource-pack effects. | Exact release, loader and pack requirements. |
| Sodium | A rendering performance mod with a different purpose. | Compatibility of the selected rendering-mod combination. |
| OptiFine-format packs | Pack formats supported for selected effects. | Not every feature in an OptiFine pack is covered. |
| Bedrock / MCPE | A different game customization system. | Java mod files do not become Bedrock add-ons. |
Begin with a small test world and change one thing at a time. Keep the working profile available while checking a new setup.
Confirm you launched the modded profile, activate the intended connected-texture pack and test four identical glass blocks. Temporarily disable packs that replace the same material.
Read the loader error for the missing or incompatible component. Check the Minecraft version, loader and dependency list, and keep only the intended version of each mod in the active folder.
Restore the previous resource-pack order, then reintroduce changes individually. If rendering mods are involved, check their exact release requirements rather than following instructions for a different game version.
Record your game version, mod list and relevant log excerpt.
Open the troubleshooting guide →Start with the requirements of the Minecraft Java Edition release you play, then check the selected mod and resource-pack requirements.
| Component | Requirement to verify |
|---|---|
| Game edition | A supported Minecraft Java Edition release. |
| Mod loader | The loader specified by your selected Continuity release. |
| Dependencies | Every library listed for that exact release and game version. |
| Java runtime | A runtime supported by the Minecraft version and launcher profile. |
| Hardware | Meet Minecraft's current requirements; high-resolution packs and shaders can add further demands. |
| Storage and backups | Allow space for the game profile, resource packs and separate world backups. |
Use the original project listing, check each file's supported version and preserve your worlds before testing a changed setup.
Follow the author's release links and verify the project name, author and dependencies. Avoid treating a similarly named upload as the original project. Read release notes before replacing files in a working profile.
Back up important saves outside the active game folder. Try new mods and packs in a separate profile and test world first. A recognizable download source does not guarantee every combination will work on your machine.
Read the update checklist →Choose Continuity for the supported texture effects you want, while checking the release and pack requirements of your own profile.
The questions players ask most, answered in plain words.
Yes. It's free and open source under the LGPL-3.0 licence.
Yes. Continuity 3.0.1-beta.1 supports Minecraft 1.21.11 on Fabric and Quilt.
Yes — 3.0.1-beta.2, for Fabric and Quilt.
No build lists 1.21.9. Update to 1.21.10, the hotfix that followed it, and use the 1.21.10 build.
On Fabric or Quilt you only need Fabric API. The Forge and NeoForge builds need Sinytra Connector and Forgified Fabric API.
There's a Forge build for 1.20.1 and a NeoForge build for 1.21.1, both running through Sinytra Connector. Fabric remains the recommended loader.
No. Continuity is a Java Edition mod. Bedrock and Minecraft PE can't load it, and there is no official port.
Files called “Continuity” on MCPEDL are not the Java mod by Pepper_Bell. Treat them as separate Bedrock add-ons and check them carefully.
Continuity is commonly used with Sodium in Fabric modpacks. On some older versions, Sodium also needed the Indium mod for compatibility — if the game asks for Indium at launch, add it.
No — and don't install both. Continuity reads OptiFine-format CTM packs on its own.
