Troubleshoot a Missing or Unchanged Menu Background

Common Fixes

The background hasn't changed:

• Confirm the resource pack is in the Selected list, not just Available
• Restart Minecraft completely; sometimes changes don't apply until a full reload
• Check that no other resource pack is overriding it by reviewing your pack order in Resource Packs settings

The pack isn't appearing in the list:

• Verify the resource pack file is in your resourcepacks folder (usually found in your .minecraft directory)
• Ensure the file isn't corrupted; try reinstalling if problems persist

Advanced Check

If issues continue, temporarily disable all other resource packs to isolate whether a conflict exists. Re-enable them one by one to identify which pack, if any, conflicts with the Cherry Background. This helps determine the correct load order for your setup.
