Additional details

Previous issue with 1.16.5: TwilightFlower/connected-block-textures#38

1.16 & 1.17 work with these builds, even though they're not official I think you could probably get CF to review them. Nuclearfarts will not be releasing a working 1.16 build nor a 1.17 update until Quilt Loader releases & won't be doing Fabric Loader releases, so its probably worth going through the trouble. See above mention in #11 for proof.

Yes, that is one way... But maybe the dev is willing to release their own version in CF/MR, if the original really will be delayed for months. I'll see when Indium gets released.

Edit: HyperCubeMC/connected-block-textures#3
Feel free to thumbs up (but don't comment, unless you have something to add).

Edit 2: Github version is now allowed by CF, but I really want to use it as a last resort because it makes update checking and packwiz management harder for me
