Better GUI Workbench Villagers… Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need OptiGUI to use this resource pack?
OptiGUI is strongly recommended because it allows the pack to display custom designs for special blocks like shulker boxes, ender chests, and mod-added containers without visual errors. If you cannot install OptiGUI, you can use the beta fallback version included with the pack, which provides basic menu designs to prevent bugs.
Why are my villager trade screens showing broken textures?
This usually happens when OptiGUI is not installed or not loaded correctly. Make sure OptiGUI is in your mods folder and enabled, then restart your game. If the issue persists, try switching to the beta version of the resource pack.
Will this pack work with mods that add new workstations?
The pack includes custom designs for popular mod blocks from mods like MrCrayfish's Furniture and Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks. For other mods, the pack will fall back to a basic design, so you won't see visual errors but may not get a themed appearance.
How do I switch to the beta version if I don't have OptiGUI?
The beta version is included as a separate option when you download the pack. Select it during installation or in your resource pack list, and it will provide a safe fallback design for all menus without requiring OptiGUI.
Does this pack change the creative mode inventory?
Yes, the pack includes a custom design for the creative mode inventory screen to match the overall themed style of the other menus.
Can I use this pack with horse and camel riding?
Yes, the pack includes custom menu designs for riding horses, mules, and camels, so those inventory screens will also have the themed appearance.
What should I do if certain chests or blocks still look plain?
Plain-looking blocks usually mean OptiGUI is missing or the pack doesn't have a custom design for that specific block. Check that OptiGUI is installed, or check the pack's mod compatibility list to see if that block is supported.
Will this pack affect my game performance?
Resource packs themselves have minimal performance impact, but OptiGUI may use slightly more resources depending on your system. If you experience lag, try the beta version, which uses simpler designs.
How do I restore plain menus if I want to switch back temporarily?
You can disable the resource pack in your resource pack list without uninstalling it, which will restore the default gray menus. Re-enable it anytime to switch back to the themed design.
Do different villager types have different trade screen designs?
Yes, the pack includes custom trading screens tailored to different types of villagers, so each profession has its own themed appearance.
