Storage Container GUIs

The core of the pack focuses on storage blocks. Each container type has a distinct look based on its material or function.

Chests and Barrels

Standard Chests: The GUI matches the wood type of the chest (Oak, Spruce, Birch, etc.).
Ender Chests: Features a dark, animated obsidian theme with purple particles.
Barrels: Uses a rustic wooden theme distinct from standard chests (requires OptiGUI).
Shulker Boxes: The GUI color dynamically matches the color of the Shulker Box (all 16 colors supported).

Specialized Storage

Hoppers: Industrial metallic theme.
Dispensers & Droppers: Stone-themed interfaces with animated firing indicators.
Bundles: Updated tooltips and fill bars to match the colorful aesthetic.

Visual Mechanics & Animations

Animated Elements

Using the Animatica mod, the pack adds life to static menus: * Progress Bars: Smoothly filling arrows and bubbles in furnaces and brewing stands. * Environment Effects: Glowing embers in the Blast Furnace and floating particles in the Ender Chest. * XP Bar: The experience bar at the bottom of the HUD features a pulsing, colorful animation.

HUD & Miscellaneous

Survival/Creative Inventory: Overhauled with cleaner, more vibrant borders.
Recipe Book: Retextured to match the specific crafting station it is opened in.
Beacon: A bright, celestial-themed interface with glowing power icons.
Books: Written books and lecterns feature high-contrast, readable parchment textures.
