Tired of ugly cables dangling around your base? Tired of every other mod having a different way to hide those cables? Tired of mods that can't even hide your cables? Tire no more! Cable Facades (the mod) provides a one-size-fits-all solution to hiding all of your cables. To set up an empty Facade, place it in a crafting grid with the block you wish to change it to.

Once set up, simply place the Facade over your ugly cables and voilà, your cables are gone! The Facade Wrench can be used to toggle facade transparency by Sneak + Right-clicking it.
