AE2 Bright Assets and Redraws Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to reinstall this pack every time I update Applied Energistics 2?
No, the pack is designed to work across multiple AE2 versions. However, check the pack's compatibility notes when you update AE2, as major version changes may require a resource pack update to maintain texture alignment.
Why do some of my addon mod terminals still look dark after installing the pack?
The pack includes support for dozens of addons, but not every single addon mod is covered. Check the pack description to see which addons are supported; unsupported addons will retain their default textures.
Can I use this pack alongside other AE2 resource packs?
Resource packs stack in order, so if you load another AE2 pack after this one, it will override these textures. Load this pack last in your resource pack list to ensure its bright textures take priority.
The animated creative mode items aren't showing up for me—what's wrong?
Make sure you're in creative mode and that animated textures are enabled in your video settings. Some older resource pack loaders may not support the animation format; try updating your loader or Minecraft version.
How do I know which card slots are which if they all look similar now?
The pack uses distinct color highlights and positioning to differentiate card types—upgrade cards, crafting cards, and storage cards each have their own visual treatment. Hover over slots to see tooltips identifying their function.
Does this pack change how my ME network actually works, or just how it looks?
This is purely a visual pack; it only changes textures and UI layouts. Your network functions identically—no mechanics, recipes, or performance are affected.
Will this pack slow down my game or cause lag?
Resource packs have minimal performance impact. The animated textures use standard Minecraft animation format, so they should not cause noticeable lag on systems that run vanilla Minecraft smoothly.
Can I customize which parts of the pack I use, or is it all-or-nothing?
This pack is all-or-nothing when installed. If you want selective features, you'd need to manually edit the pack files, which requires understanding resource pack structure.
Why do my quick inventory shortcuts look different than the guide screenshots?
The quick inventory layout depends on your screen resolution and how many shortcuts you've configured. The pack reorganizes the menu structure, but your personal setup may display differently based on your specific items and slots.
Does this pack work with modpacks, or only single-player worlds?
This is a client-side resource pack, so it works in any world or modpack—single-player, multiplayer servers, or pre-built modpacks. Just add it to your resource packs folder and enable it.
