Understanding the Pack's Brightness Levels

Cutecore Kin's Sweetest GUI uses soft, light pastel colors by default. If you find menus too bright or too dim for your screen, you can adjust the overall luminosity of the interface textures.

Adjusting Brightness

1. Open your resource pack folder and navigate to assets/minecraft/textures/gui

2. Select all GUI texture files (containers, buttons, backgrounds)

3. Use your image editor's brightness/contrast tool to lighten or darken uniformly

4. For darker visuals: reduce brightness by 10-20% while maintaining the pastel hue

5. For lighter visuals: increase brightness slightly, but avoid washing out the aesthetic

6. Save all modified textures and reload the pack in-game

Preserving the Aesthetic

When adjusting brightness, be careful not to shift the hue—you want darker or lighter pastels, not different colors entirely. Test on multiple GUI screens (inventory, crafting, furnace, chests) to ensure consistency across all menus.
