Troubleshooting Torch and Lantern Textures Not Appearing

Verify Pack is Active

1. Open your resource packs menu in-game

2. Confirm Better Lights Resource Pack appears in the "Active" column (right side)

3. If it's in the inactive list, click it and select the arrow to move it to active

4. Restart your world or reload chunks by moving far away and returning

Check for Conflicts

If textures still don't appear:

  • Disable other resource packs temporarily to test if another pack is overriding it
  • Verify no other packs target torches or lanterns
  • Re-enable packs one at a time to identify conflicts

Reload Game Resources

1. Press F3 + T (or Ctrl + T on some systems) to reload resource packs

2. Return to your world and check if textures now display correctly

Reinstall if Needed

If the pack remains inactive or causes crashes:

  • Delete the pack folder from your resource packs directory
  • Reinstall it fresh
  • Ensure the folder structure is correct (textures should be in a recognizable path)

These steps resolve most texture visibility issues without requiring game reinstallation.
