Why are my menus still the default gray after enabling Black Keys?
Open your Resource Packs menu and check the load order on the right side. Another active pack is likely overriding the UI textures, so move Black Keys to the very top of the selected list and apply the changes.
Can I use Black Keys with a block texture pack?
Yes, you can run it alongside full world texture packs while keeping the dark mode interface. Just place Black Keys above your main texture pack in the active resource pack list so its menu and button styles take priority.
Does this pack only change the main title screen?
No, in addition to repainting the main menu background and buttons, it applies a dark style to in-game menus. Your standard survival inventory, the creative inventory, and the advancements screen will all have dark backgrounds.
Does Black Keys change how blocks, items, or tools look?
No, this pack only recolors menu backgrounds, UI screens, and buttons. All of your building blocks, items, and tools keep their normal textures, or the textures of whatever pack you load underneath it.
Will this resource pack work on multiplayer servers?
Yes, because it only modifies client-side menu screens and buttons, it works on any multiplayer server. If a server forces a custom resource pack that reverts your menus to gray, you cannot manually reorder it above the server pack.
Does using Black Keys lower my FPS or cause lag?
No, replacing menu backgrounds and button colors with a clean solid black style does not add extra strain to your system. Your in-game frame rate and performance will remain the same as vanilla.
Why are modded inventory screens still light gray?
Black Keys replaces vanilla Minecraft interfaces like the start screen, creative and survival inventories, and advancements. Custom menus added by separate mods use their own image files and will remain in their default colors.
Are the button labels hard to read against the solid black buttons?
No, the solid black buttons actually increase contrast against the text. This makes reading button labels much easier on your eyes, especially when playing in a dark room.
How can I make the menus fit my screen better for night play?
Open your vanilla Video Settings and adjust the GUI Scale until the dark menus and text sit at a comfortable reading size. Lowering your monitor brightness slightly alongside the dark theme also helps reduce eye strain at night.
How do I go back to the normal Minecraft menu colors?
Open Options, select Resource Packs, and click the arrow on Black Keys to move it from the active right column back to the available left column. Once you click Done, the game will reload the default backgrounds and buttons.
