Currently you can only view vanilla textures, can you please make support that can view the structure files of the mod? Thanks.

If I use it to load mod content, then it won't display textures, can you make expansions that support mods please?

In return, I will sponsor you for $50.

This is quite tricky to implement. The extension would have to know the following:

  • A list of blocks IDs and block states added by the mod
  • The mod's blockstate and model resources
  • The mod's block textures
  • Which mod blocks are opaque

Are you imagining that you have to provide these files to the extension as a user in the form of URLs or JSON?

Is it possible to recognize the jar file ontology directly?

I have a method that I don't know if it works, reading the assets folder in the jar file directly, because each jar's assets has its own folder name, the same as the mod name, so it might be easier when looking for textures.

I happen to have a question, because I am in China now, so every time I open a nbt file I have to wait for a long time to open it, is it possible to add a faster download method to reduce the opening time? For example, adding the files from github directly to my computer instead of downloading them from github every time I open them.

No not really, just having the models and textures isn't enough
