Rechiseled guide for FTB Skies 2 1.0.1 to 1.12.0

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.

Rechiseled lets you swap blocks for decorative variants with connected textures. It adds over 600 variants of vanilla blocks, and you do all of it with one tool. Start there.^[1]

Craft the chisel

Everything in Rechiseled starts with the Chisel. Here is the in-pack recipe, and it is the mod's own recipe, so nothing was changed for this pack:^[3]

The mod's FAQ says the chisel has no durability, so you can use it as many times as you like. You only ever need to make one.^[1]

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. You can also swap between those variants and their stairs and slabs.^[1]
2. Left-click a block that is already placed to swap it in the world. With nothing stored in the chisel, you get a random variant.^[1]
3. If the chisel has a block stored in it, that block acts as a filter. Left-clicked blocks then turn into that specific variant instead of a random one.^[1]

Most variants also come as stairs and slabs, which you get from the chiseling screen. The connecting textures link up across the full block, stairs and slab of the same variant, so you can build whole walls and trims that look seamless.^[1]

Try the pack's Create polishing recipe

This pack adds a Create sandpaper polishing recipe that turns Basalt Bordered Connecting into Basalt Bordered Polished Connecting. It is a pack addition, so you won't find it in the mod on its own.^[3]

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 sources here do not show a tier ladder for Rechiseled in this pack. What they do show is the mod's own Chisel recipe and a pack-added polishing step for a block variant, so that is all this section covers.^[3]

Craft the chisel

The Chisel is a shaped crafting recipe that comes from the mod itself, and the pack has not changed it. The block below shows the exact in-pack recipe.^[3]

Polish with Create sandpaper

The pack adds a Create sandpaper polishing recipe that turns Basalt Bordered Connecting into Basalt Bordered Polished Connecting. This route is a pack addition, not something the mod provides on its own.^[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][5]

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 1.12.0 ships Rechiseled 1.1.6+a. The mod has been in the pack since FTB Skies 2 1.0.1 or earlier, so you have had access to it for a long time.^[6]

Mod releases

• 1.1.6: the initial release of Rechiseled for Minecraft 1.20.5 and 1.20.6.^[7]
• 1.1.6a: fixed missing mining tags for chiseled blocks. This is the version in the pack right now.^[6][7]

Unverified No pack changelog entries for Rechiseled were available, so any changes the pack itself made to this mod across its releases are unconfirmed.
