# ERYDON Themelios<\/p>\n
Themelios, meaning \u201cFoundation Stone\u201d, is the lighter companion to ERYDON. It keeps the core building materials and texture style of ERYDON, but focuses on simpler, lower-complexity block shapes for players who want a smaller and more performance-conscious building set.<\/p>\n
It is designed for builders who like ERYDON\u2019s stone, marble, herringbone, rusticated, aged, ashlar, weave, and metallic-inlay materials, but do not need the full decorative shape library from the main mod.<\/p>\n
## What Themelios adds<\/p>\n
Themelios includes a broad foundation set of architectural blocks, including:<\/p>\n
* Full blocks
\n* Slabs
\n* Stairs
\n* Walls
\n* Posts
\n* Horizontal and vertical slices
\n* Layers and vertical layers
\n* Simple column-style cylinder blocks
\n* Built-in 32\u00d7 textures
\n* Connected texture support<\/p>\n
The block set is intended for clean, repeatable building: floors, fa\u00e7ades, walls, columns, courtyards, interiors, foundations, town builds, temples, villas, and large decorative structures.<\/p>\n
## How it differs from ERYDON<\/p>\n
Full ERYDON (https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/erydon) is the larger decorative architecture mod, with more complex shapes and expanded ornamental systems.<\/p>\n
Themelios is the streamlined version. It excludes the heavier and more specialised content, such as clusters and complex geometry, while keeping the core material palette and the main builder-friendly shapes along with some basic shape equivalents, like a cylinder in place of circular columns.<\/p>\n
Choose Themelios if you want the ERYDON look with a lighter block set.<\/p>\n
Choose full ERYDON if you want the complete decorative architecture library.<\/p>\n
## Compatibility<\/p>\n
Themelios uses built-in 32\u00d7 resources by default and is compatible with the ERYDON resource packs:<\/p>\n
* ERYDON 16\u00d7 Lite Resource Pack https:\/\/modrinth.com\/resourcepack\/erydon-lite-resource-pack
\n* ERYDON 64\u00d7 PBR Resource Pack https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/cw\/Erydon<\/p>\n
All three sets of resources – 16x, 32x and 64x – include specular PBR detail however the PBR detail level increases along with texture details to include normal, specular, porosity and height-style texture support where applicable.<\/p>\n
It may also be used alongside ERYDON if you would like to use the basic shapes equivalents, which ERYDON does not include.<\/p>\n
## Connected textures<\/p>\n
Continuity support is bundled inside Themelios, so players do not need to install Continuity separately.<\/p>\n
Themelios also includes compatibility handling so the ERYDON resource packs can work cleanly with Themelios block IDs.<\/p>\n
## Requirements<\/p>\n
* Minecraft Java Edition 1.20.1
\n* Fabric
\n* Fabric API<\/p>\n
Iris, Sodium and Indium along with a compatible PBR shader is recommended and required for the extra PBR detailing. <\/p>\n
The mod is required on both client and server for multiplayer.<\/p>\n
## Modpacks<\/p>\n
You may include Themelios in modpacks.<\/p>\n
