Default Dark Mode: Expansion Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need the original Default Dark Mode to use the Expansion Pack?
Yes, the Expansion Pack is designed as an add-on and requires the original Default Dark Mode to function properly. Install the original pack first, then place the Expansion Pack on top of it in your resource pack order.
How do I set up the resource pack order correctly?
In your resource pack menu, drag the Expansion Pack above the original Default Dark Mode so it loads on top. This ensures the expansion textures override the base pack and display correctly.
Why are some mod GUIs still bright after installing the pack?
The Expansion Pack covers 80-90 popular mods, but not every mod is included. If a GUI remains bright, that mod isn't currently supported by the pack. Check the pack description to see which mods are covered.
Can I use this with modpacks I've downloaded?
Yes, you can add both Default Dark Mode packs to any modpack by placing them in the resource packs folder. If the modpack already includes dark mode packs, make sure there are no conflicts by checking the load order.
What should I do if textures look broken or misaligned in a mod GUI?
First, verify the resource pack order is correct (Expansion on top). If the issue persists, try removing and reinstalling both packs, or check if a mod update has changed the GUI layout since the pack was created.
Does this pack affect performance or FPS?
No, resource packs have minimal performance impact. Dark Mode packs are simply texture replacements and won't noticeably affect your frame rate.
Can I customize the darkness level or colors?
The pack provides a fixed dark theme, but you can edit the texture files yourself if you're comfortable with image editing. Refer to the Customize Dark Mode Appearance guide for details on modifying colors and contrast.
Will this work with shader packs?
Yes, the Expansion Pack works alongside shader packs since they operate on different layers. Load your shader separately and the dark mode textures will still apply to mod GUIs.
How do I know which mods are supported by the Expansion Pack?
The pack description lists the 80-90 supported mods. If you're unsure whether a specific mod is included, check the pack's official documentation or test it in-game.
What do I do if the Expansion Pack conflicts with another resource pack?
Adjust your resource pack order so the Expansion Pack loads last (on top), which gives it priority. If conflicts persist, the packs may be incompatible—try using only one dark mode pack.
