How to Configure Better GUI (and What Each Option Does)

Better GUI exposes a configuration screen so you can fine-tune how its interfaces behave without touching any files by hand. This is the first place to look if a layout feels wrong for your setup.

Reaching the Config Screen

Open the pack's configuration entry from the mod list or the in-game options, depending on how you loaded it. Once open, you will see toggles and sliders grouped by interface — crafting table, player inventory, and shared elements. Changes apply as soon as you confirm them, so you can open a crafting screen right away to check the result.

Options Worth Knowing

• Style/theme selection — picks which visual layout the pack draws.
• Slot highlighting — controls whether hovered slots get an outline, which helps a lot when moving items quickly.
• Background dimming — adjusts how strongly the world behind the GUI is darkened, useful if you find the default too dark or too light.
• Button size and spacing — makes controls easier to hit on high-DPI screens or with a controller.

If you are unsure what a setting does, change one option at a time and reopen an inventory to see the effect. Reset to defaults if you lose track of what you altered.
