How to Fix Bright or Inconsistent Modded GUIs

Diagnosing GUI Conflicts

If vanilla menus appear dark but modded crafting tables, machines, or storage containers remain bright gray, your pack order is likely inverted or the expansion is inactive.

Reordering the Active Packs

Correcting the load order ensures that modded GUI assets take precedence:

1. Press Esc and navigate to Options, then Resource Packs.

2. Look at the Selected column on the right side.

3. Confirm that both the original dark mode pack and the expansion pack are listed.

4. Check their relative positions. If the base pack is listed higher than the expansion, hover over the expansion pack and click the upward arrow.

5. Confirm the expansion sits higher in the list than the base pack.

6. Select Done to reload resource assets.

Once the game finishes reloading, reopen the modded interfaces. The darker container backgrounds should now display properly across all supported modded elements.
