Rechiseled in FTB Skies 2

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.

Rechiseled lets you swap blocks between decorative variants that have connected textures. It adds over 600 variants of vanilla blocks, and everything starts with one tool: the Chisel.^[1][3]

Craft the chisel

Make the chisel first, because it is the tool you use to swap blocks between their variants. It uses the mod's own recipe, which the pack hasn't changed.^[1][3]

The chisel has no durability, so you can use it as often as you like.^[1]

Learn the two ways to chisel

• Right-click with the chisel to open the chiseling screen. Put a block in to preview all its variants, then swap between them and their stairs and slabs.^[1]
• Left-click a placed block with the chisel to change it in the world. With nothing stored in the chisel, you get a random variant.^[1]
• If you've stored a block in the chisel, it acts as a filter. Every block you left-click is turned into that variant.^[1]

Get stairs and slabs from the screen

Most variants also have stairs and slabs, and you get them through the chiseling screen. The connecting textures link up across the full block, stairs and slab of the same variant.^[1]

Polish bordered basalt with sandpaper

This pack adds a Create sandpaper polishing route for bordered basalt. It turns Basalt Bordered Connecting into Basalt Bordered Polished Connecting.^[3]

Same as in the All the Mods 10 0.53 guide

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]

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 recipe data for Rechiseled in this pack shows a short path: one entry point, the Chisel, and a handful of pack-added polishing recipes for bordered basalt blocks. That is all the sources confirm, so this section stays short.^[3]

Get the chisel

The Chisel uses the mod's own shaped crafting recipe, not one the pack added. The grid is shown below.^[3]

Polish bordered basalt with sandpaper

This part is something the pack added. Each of these recipes is a Create sandpaper polishing recipe that turns a bordered basalt block into its polished version. They cover the plain block, the slab and the stairs, each in a regular and a connecting variant.^[3]

The one connection between Rechiseled and another mod that the pack's recipes confirm is with Create. The pack has the Rechiseled: Create addon, which adds the Mechanical Chisel. Its crafting recipe combines an item from Create with an item from Rechiseled.^[1][3]

Mechanical ChiselMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• Andesite Casing
• Chisel

Recipe id: rechiseledcreate:mechanical_chisel

This is a shapeless crafting recipe, and it needs the Create block Andesite Casing along with the Rechiseled Chisel.

The Mechanical Chisel can chisel blocks automatically using contraptions from Create. That means you don't have to do all your decorative block swapping by hand with the regular Chisel.^[1]

The same addon also adds 100+ decorative variants for blocks in Create.^[1]

FTB Skies 2 1.22.0 ships Rechiseled 1.2.5, and the mod has been in the pack since 1.0.1 or earlier. Here's what changed in the mod's own releases leading up to that version.^[2]

1.2.0: the big update

This is the release that changed the most for you day to day. The chiseling screen got a major overhaul and the mod gained a lot of new content.^[5]

• Stairs and slabs were added for all of Rechiseled's decorative blocks, and also for the vanilla chiseling recipe entries.^[5]
• The chiseling screen now has a scrollbar, a search field and filters. It shows more entries at once and marks chiselable blocks in your inventory.^[5]
• You can now chisel blocks by left-clicking them with a chisel.^[5]
• Rechiseled's textures take up 76% less atlas space.^[5]
• Chiseling recipes can now include stairs and slabs, and other mods can register plugins to add or modify chiseling recipes.^[5]
• JEI and REI integration was improved.^[5]
• Flowers and other vegetation can now be placed on dirt blocks from Rechiseled.^[5]
• Tags were added for the blocks, stairs and slabs of each block type in Rechiseled.^[5]
• Fixes in this release: the chiseling screen preview no longer shows internal faces on transparent blocks, connecting blocks like glass panes now connect in the preview, a couple of misaligned textures were corrected, and crashes with the mod Quad were fixed.^[5]

Earlier and later releases

• 1.1.6: initial release for Minecraft 1.20.5 and 1.20.6.^[5]
• 1.1.6a: fixed missing mining tags for chiseled blocks.^[5]
• 1.2.1: fixed in-world chiseling not working on a server.^[5]
• 1.2.2: fixed being able to obtain oversized item stacks from the chisel, and a crash when saving a chisel holding a stack larger than 99.^[5]
• 1.2.3: replaced the default JEI scrollbar with custom smooth scrolling, and fixed the Edged Block of Amethyst texture connecting incorrectly.^[5]
• 1.2.4: fixed the chisel stack not always updating when you shift-click items out of its slot.^[5]
• 1.2.5: fixed non-connecting blocks also connecting with Fusion 1.3.0, and fixed the texture for Compacted Coal Block.^[5]

These notes come from the mod's own changelog. I don't have any pack changelog entries for Rechiseled, so there is nothing here about pack-specific changes to it.^[5]
