Obsidian, the pack also includes features for other modes like bridge games (bordered wool textures) and general duels (lowered shields, clear potions).

Can I still see wool colors clearly in bridge games?
Yes, the pack features clean wool textures with solid borders that make each color distinct and easy to track quickly while building or defending.
Why is my shield so small now?
The shield model is lowered and repositioned to keep more of your screen visible while blocking, so you can still see incoming threats and your surroundings during defense.
Do I need to change any Minecraft settings for this pack to work best?
No special settings are required, but enabling fast graphics and higher render distance will let you benefit most from the pack's performance optimizations.
What happens to 
potion icons and inventory display?
Potion items and armor textures are simplified and cleaned up for fast visual scanning, and the interface is compact so you can switch between items quickly without visual confusion.Does the reduced fire overlay affect my ability to see when I'm on fire?
The fire overlay is lowered but still visible—you'll still know you're burning, just without a large graphic blocking your view of the fight.
Can I use this pack on servers or only singleplayer?
Resource packs work on any server or world—this pack is purely client-side, so it won't affect other players and works everywhere you play.
