Fixing Missing or Vanilla Hotbar Icons

Checking Game Mode and HUD Settings

If you already enabled Cute Hotbar Icons Resource Pack in your Resource Packs menu but cannot see the custom hearts, hunger bars, or armor icons in-game, check these vanilla visibility settings first:

1. Unhide the HUD: Press F1 on your keyboard if the entire hotbar and crosshair are missing. Pressing F1 toggles the heads-up display off and on.

2. Leave Creative or Spectator Mode: Health, hunger, and armor bars never render in Creative or Spectator mode. Switch to Survival mode to bring the status bars back onto the screen.

3. Equip Gear: Remember that the custom armor bar stays completely hidden whenever your character has zero armor points equipped.

Reloading Pack Assets

If you are in Survival mode and still see standard vanilla hearts or drumsticks, another active resource pack may be overriding your GUI textures.

1. Open Options > Resource Packs and ensure Cute Hotbar Icons Resource Pack sits at the very top of the right-hand Selected column.

2. Click Done to apply the change.

3. While in your world, hold F3 and press T to force Minecraft to reload all client textures and immediately refresh your hotbar icons.
