Colourful Containers Dark Mode GUI Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on the dark mode GUI in this pack?
Make sure the resource pack is selected and moved to the top of your active packs list in Options > Resource Packs. The dark mode styling is the pack's default look, so it applies automatically once the pack is enabled.
Why do my containers still look like the vanilla GUI?
Another resource pack is likely overriding this one, so drag Colourful Containers above it in the pack list. If it still looks vanilla, confirm the pack is actually enabled and not just downloaded.
Do I need any other mods for this to work?
No, it's a resource pack, so it works on its own in vanilla Minecraft. You only need a mod loader if you're combining it with other mods that also change GUIs.
How do I switch between the different container GUI styles?
Each container has its own themed design tied to its block, so there's no single toggle for switching styles. To change which design appears, reorder or swap the pack relative to other GUI packs in your resource pack list.
Which containers does this pack change?
It retextures the GUIs of interactable blocks like the crafting table, furnace, chest, and similar containers. Each menu is styled to match the block you opened it from.
Why aren't the animated GUIs playing?
Animations need the pack fully enabled and not overridden by another pack higher in the list. If animations still don't play, check that your video settings allow animated textures and that you're not using a performance mod that strips them.
Can I use this with other GUI or UI resource packs?
Yes, but only the topmost pack wins for any given texture, so overlapping packs will conflict. Put Colourful Containers above packs you want it to override, or below ones you'd rather keep.
Does this pack hurt my FPS or performance?
It's a GUI-only pack, so it doesn't affect world rendering or chunk performance. The animated menus use a small amount of extra texture memory, which is negligible on most systems.
Will this work on a server or with friends?
Resource packs are client-side, so it changes only what you see and works on any server. Other players won't see your GUI unless they install the same pack.
Why does the GUI look wrong or glitched after an update?
A Minecraft update can change GUI layouts, causing textures to misalign until the pack is updated. Try disabling other packs first, and if it persists, wait for a pack update matching your game version.
