Frequently asked questions

How do I enable or disable specific features of this pack?
This is a resource pack, not a mod with a config menu. To toggle features on or off, you'll need to edit the pack files directly or create a custom version by removing texture and JSON files for the features you don't want. Most players keep the full pack enabled since the features work together without conflicts.
Why can't I see my shield when I'm blocking?
The pack lowers shields so they don't block your view during combat. Your shield is still protecting you—it's just positioned lower on your screen so you can see enemies clearly while defending.
Does this pack work with other resource packs?
You can layer this pack with others, but features may conflict if both packs modify the same textures or files. Place this pack higher in your resource pack list if you want its visuals to take priority over other packs.
Will this pack help me see better in caves and dark areas?
Yes. The pack adds bright ore borders to help you spot minerals in darkness, shortens grass to reduce ground clutter, and clears up water visibility so you can navigate caves more easily.
