Turn On Clear Inventory and Confirm Your Menus Are See-Through

Clear Inventory replaces the solid gray backgrounds of standard menus with transparent ones. Enable it first, then check a few screens to confirm it is working.

Enable the pack

1. From the title screen or the pause menu, open Options and then Resource Packs.

2. Find Clear Inventory in the Available list on the left. If it is missing, click Open Pack Folder, make sure the pack file is in the resourcepacks folder, then return to the screen.

3. Click the arrow on the pack to move it into the Selected list on the right.

4. Drag it toward the top of the Selected list. Packs higher in the list override packs below them, so this keeps other packs from replacing its menu art.

5.

Check that it works

Load a world and open each of these screens. You should see the world through the menu instead of a solid gray panel.

  • Player inventory: Press your inventory key. The background should be clear.
  • Chest: Open any chest. The usual gray box should be gone.
  • Furnace: Open a furnace and check that the panel behind the slots is transparent.
  • Creative inventory: If you play in Creative, open the item tabs. Building blocks and your hotbar should sit over a see-through background.
  • Advancements: Open the advancements screen and confirm it is transparent too.

If any of these screens still look solid, see the troubleshooting guide below.
