Frequently asked questions

How do I change the background in Custom Background HD?
Open the resource pack zip and navigate to assets/minecraft/textures/gui/title/background/. Replace panorama_overlay.png with your own image, keeping the exact same filename, then apply the pack in-game.
What image format does the background need to be?
It must be a PNG file. Other formats like JPG or WEBP won't be read by the game, so convert your image to PNG before replacing the file.
Does the image have to be a specific size?
No strict size is required, but the image gets stretched to fill the menu screen. Match your screen's aspect ratio and use a high-resolution image so it doesn't look blurry or distorted.
Why isn't my custom background showing up?
The most common causes are a wrong filename, wrong file location inside the zip, or the pack not being applied or moved to the top of the resource pack list. Double-check that your file is named exactly panorama_overlay.png in the correct folder.
