Rechiseled guide for All the Mods 10 0.42 to 0.53

Same as in the FTB Skies 2 1.22.0 guide

Rechiseled is a decorative building mod. It lets you swap one block for many different decorative variants of it, and those variants use connected textures. The mod adds over 600 decorative variants of vanilla blocks, so it's a great pick when you want your builds to look less plain.^[1]

This pack includes Rechiseled 1.2.5 for NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.^[2]

How it works

Everything revolves around the chisel. Right-click it to open the chiseling screen, where you put in a block and preview all of its variants. You can swap between those variants and their stairs and slabs right there.^[1]

You can also chisel blocks that are already placed. Left-click a block with the chisel and it changes to a random variant. If you've stored a block in the chisel, that block acts as a filter and the left-clicked block turns into that exact variant.^[1]

• Most variants come with stairs and slabs, and the connected textures link up between the full block, stairs and slab of the same variant.^[1]
• The chisel has no durability, so you can use it as many times as you like.^[1]
• If your blocks aren't connecting, most blocks have a version with and without connected textures. Use the toggle button in the bottom right of the chiseling screen to switch.^[1]

Who it's for

It's for builders. Rechiseled doesn't change how the pack's tech or progression works. It's a cosmetic tool for giving your base and your builds more variety, using blocks you already have.^[1]

Unverified The sources don't show where Rechiseled fits in the pack's progression. No quests involve this mod, it isn't on the ATM Star path, and no in-pack chisel recipe is available here, so check in game for how to get the chisel.

Unverified Rechiseled has official addons for Create, Applied Energistics 2 and Cobblemon, but the sources don't confirm whether any of them are installed in this pack.

Good news: getting started with Rechiseled is simple, because there is only one item you need to make first. The Chisel is the tool behind everything the mod does, so craft it before anything else.^[1][3]

Step 1: Craft the chisel

Recipe id: rechiseled:chisel

This is the in-pack recipe for the chisel.

The chisel lets you swap blocks between their decorative variants. The mod adds over 600 decorative variants of vanilla blocks, many with connected textures, so a single tool opens up a lot of building options.^[1]

There is no durability to worry about. The chisel can be used as many times as you want, so you never need a spare or a repair plan.^[1]

Step 2: Learn the two ways to chisel

1. Right-click with the chisel to open the chiseling screen. Put a block in and you can preview all of its variants.^[1]
2. Pick a variant in the screen to exchange the block for it. You can also take the matching stairs and slabs from the same screen.^[1]
3. Left-click an already placed block with the chisel to change it in the world. With nothing stored in the chisel, you get a random variant.^[1]
4. If a block is stored in the chisel, it acts as a filter. Any block you left-click is turned into that variant.^[1]

Stairs, slabs and connecting textures

Most variants also come as stairs and slabs, and you get them through the chiseling screen. Connecting textures link up across the full block, stairs and slab of the same variant, so you can mix shapes in one build.^[1]

Rechiseled doesn't have machines, power or fluids. Its whole system is one tool and one screen: you take a block, you swap it for a decorative variant, and you do it as many times as you like. The mod adds over 600 decorative variants of vanilla blocks, all built around connected textures.^[1]

Everything runs through the chisel. It's the only item you need, and it never wears out: the chisel has no durability, so one is enough for an entire world.^[1]

Recipe id: rechiseled:chisel

The chisel as it's crafted in this pack.

The chiseling screen

Right-click with the Chisel to open the chiseling screen. You put a block in, and the screen previews every variant that block has, then lets you exchange between them. This is the main way you convert stacks of material into decorative blocks.^[1]

The screen also covers stairs and slabs. Most of Rechiseled's decorative variants have matching stairs and slabs, and you can pull those straight out of the chiseling screen rather than crafting them separately.^[1]

Connected textures and the toggle

Connected textures are the core of the mod's look. Most blocks exist in two forms: one with connecting textures and one without. A button in the bottom right of the chiseling screen toggles between them, so if a wall isn't connecting the way you expect, that's the switch to check.^[1]

Connections aren't limited to full blocks either. The connecting textures will also link up between the full block, the stairs, and the slab of the same variant, so a mixed wall of all three still reads as one continuous surface.^[1]

In-world chiseling

You don't have to break and replace blocks to redecorate. Left-click a placed block with the chisel and it changes to a decorative variant in place.^[1]

By default a left-click picks a random variant, which is handy for rough, varied stonework. If you want control, store a block in the chisel first: that stored block acts as a filter, and every block you left-click will be transformed into that specific variant instead.^[1]

1. Right-click with the chisel to open the chiseling screen and store the variant you want.^[1]
2. Close the screen and left-click placed blocks to convert them to that stored variant.^[1]
3. Clear the stored block if you'd rather go back to random variants for a textured, mixed look.^[1]

Automation

Rechiseled itself is a hand tool, there's no in-mod machine that chisels for you. Automation comes from official addon mods instead. Rechiseled: Create adds a Mechanical Chisel that chisels blocks automatically using Create contraptions, plus over 100 decorative variants for Create's blocks. Rechiseled: Applied Energistics 2 adds a Chiseling Pattern Encoder so Rechiseled recipes can be autocrafted through an AE2 storage system, along with over 100 new variants of AE2 blocks.^[1]

Unverified Whether the Create or Applied Energistics 2 addons are actually installed in this pack isn't confirmed by the sources provided here. Check your mod list before planning an automated chiseling setup.

What the variants look like

Variant names follow a simple pattern: the base block plus a style. For example, iron shows up as a Reinforced Block of Iron. Browsing the chiseling screen with a block in hand is still the fastest way to see what a given material offers.^[1][4]

The sources I have for this pack only cover one thing in Rechiseled: the Chisel. It is the only Rechiseled recipe in the pack's recipe dump, so there is no tier ladder for me to walk you through here.^[3]

The chisel is a shaped crafting recipe, and the dump lists it as a mod recipe, so it comes from Rechiseled itself. Here is the exact in-pack recipe:^[3]

Shaped crafting recipe for the chisel, as it appears in the pack.

The recipe accepts any item from the iron ingots tag and any item from the wooden rods tag, so you are not tied to one specific ingredient for each.^[3]

I couldn't find any in-pack recipes or quests that connect Rechiseled with other mods, so there's nothing pack-specific to show you here. What I can tell you is what the mod's own project page says about its official addons.^[1]

Official addons

• Rechiseled: Create adds the Mechanical Chisel, which can automatically chisel blocks using contraptions from Create. It also adds 100+ decorative variants for Create blocks.^[1]
• Rechiseled: Applied Energistics 2 adds the Chiseling Pattern Encoder, which lets you autocraft Rechiseled recipes with an Applied Energistics 2 storage system. It also adds 100+ new decorative variants of Applied Energistics 2 blocks.^[1]
• Rechiseled: Cobblemon adds decorative variants for the Tumblestone, Apricorn, and Saccharine block sets in Cobblemon.^[1]

Unverified Whether any of these addons is installed in this pack is unconfirmed. No cross-mod recipes or quests turned up for Rechiseled here, so check your item list in-game before relying on the Mechanical Chisel, the Chiseling Pattern Encoder, or the extra variants.

All the Mods 10 0.53 ships Rechiseled 1.1.6+a. The pack has carried the mod since version 0.42 or earlier, so it's been part of the pack for a good while.^[5]

The pack changelogs have no entries for this mod, so the only history we can confirm comes from the mod's own changelog. It's short:^[5][6]

• 1.1.6: the initial release of Rechiseled for Minecraft 1.20.5 and 1.20.6.^[6]
• 1.1.6a: fixed missing mining tags for chiseled blocks. This is the version the pack uses.^[5][6]

If you're updating from an older pack release, that mining tag fix is the only change the mod's changelog lists for the version in 0.53.^[5][6]
