Testing Dark Mode in Survival Containers and Inventories

Inspecting Standard Storage

After activating the pack, verify that all basic survival containers have applied the dark styling cleanly.

1. Enter a survival or creative single-player world.

2. Press your inventory key (default E) to open the player inventory. Confirm that the background panel is dark, slot frames remain distinct, and item counts are easily legible.

3. Place and open a standard wooden chest, double chest, or ender chest to ensure the container grid renders properly.

4. Open utility blocks like crafting tables, furnaces, brewing stands, and anvils to inspect progress bars, fuel arrows, and hammer icons against the dark background.

Fine-Tuning Contrast and Brightness

Because the pack replaces bright GUI backgrounds with dark surfaces, adjusting display brightness can improve legibility depending on your monitor setup:

1. Press Esc and go to Options... > Video Settings....

2. Adjust the Brightness slider (between Moody and Bright) to find a level where dark menu borders and item tooltips are comfortable for your eyes.

3. Click Done to save the adjustment.
