Fixing Gray Menu Boxes When the Pack Is Active

If you enable the pack yet still see standard gray menu boxes or dark borders, another vanilla accessibility setting or resource pack is overriding its interface textures. You can fix missing pastel menus directly from the in-game options screen.

Removing Conflicting Menu Overrides

1. Open Options and select Resource Packs.

2. Check the Selected column on the right to see if the built-in High Contrast pack is active, as vanilla High Contrast overrides custom GUI files. Click its left arrow to disable it if present.

3. Inspect any other active packs sitting above the Sweetest GUI pack. Click the up arrow on the Sweetest GUI entry until it sits at the very top of the Selected column.

4. Click Done to apply the updated priority order.

Reloading Stuck Interface Textures

If your main menu buttons show soft pastel styling but workstations like furnaces, chests, or enchanting tables still open with default gray windows inside your world, force a client asset refresh. Unpause the game, hold F3, and press T to reload all active resource packs without restarting Minecraft. Once the reload bar finishes, right-click a chest or crafting table again to confirm the pink and cream menus appear.
