Applying Changes

1. Apply live updates instantly in your session.
2. Export the pack to save all applied textures.
3. Reset to revert to the original texture (Vanilla or active resource pack).

Active texture packs are loaded as the base, and your edits visually override them. Exported packs can be placed on top of existing packs.

Known Limitations

• Non-cube blocks (Beds, Stairs, Slabs, Fences, Chests, etc.) are currently disabled to avoid mapping errors. Support for complex models is planned.
