How to Troubleshoot Sword Texture and Model Issues
Fixing Display and Layering Errors
If your weapons are not displaying correctly after adding the resource pack, a few quick checks in your settings can resolve the issue. Because the Classic Short Sword Texture Pack relies on another pack to function fully, improper setup is the most common cause of visual bugs.
First, check your active resource packs list in the game menu. Confirm that the Minecraft Classic Texture Pack is equipped directly below the short sword pack. If the classic textures are missing from beneath the short sword pack, your swords may appear broken or fail to show the intended classic style.
Additionally, ensure that your game version matches the supported versions for the pack. No experimental features are needed, so you do not need to toggle any special world options. Simply re-ordering your packs correctly in the resource pack menu will usually fix missing textures, incorrect blade lengths, or rendering conflicts.
