Fix the Hotbar Still Looking Vanilla After Enabling the Pack

Sometimes you enable the collection and still see the default toolbar. Usually the cause is that another pack is overriding it or that something isn't loading. Work through these checks in order.

Check pack order

Resource packs higher in the Selected list override the ones below them.

1. Open Options > Resource Packs....

2. Look at the Selected column. Other packs that change the GUI may be replacing the hotbar texture. This includes full texture overhauls and other UI packs.

3. Hover over Cyber's Hotbar Collection and use the up arrow until it sits above those packs.

4. Click Done, let the game reload, then check your hotbar again.

Other things to check

• Pack file layout: In the resourcepacks folder, the pack should be a single archive or folder. It should not be buried inside an extra folder. If it doesn't appear in the menu at all, nesting is the usual cause.
• Compatibility warning: If the pack shows a warning when you select it, the game is telling you it may not match your game version. The textures may not load as expected.
• HUD hidden: If no hotbar shows at all, you may have hidden the HUD. Press F1 to toggle it back.
• Server packs: Some servers push their own resource pack, which can sit on top of yours. Try a single-player world to confirm the collection works by itself.
