Connected Blocks

Connected Blocks enhances your Minecraft Bedrock world by seamlessly merging block borders for a cleaner, more cohesive look. Inspired by Optifine’s Connected Textures Mod (CTM), this addon automatically links block edges, eliminating visible seams. Transform standard blocks into connected variants easily through crafting.

Installation / How to Use

To create a connected block, simply place the regular block into the crafting table. This crafting process converts the block into its connected version, allowing it to merge borders with adjacent blocks of the same type.

Key Features

• Removes hard edges by connecting block borders for a smooth appearance.
• Includes connected variants for a variety of blocks, such as glass blocks, wood planks, panes, sand, gravel, decorative stones, and many more.
• Sea Lanterns maintain their light emission while displaying connected textures.
• Fixes Z-fighting issues to ensure consistent rendering of connected blocks.
• Gravel and sand can now visually connect with grass blocks (Creative Mode only).
