Increase Button Contrast

The Gravel GUI's clean aesthetic sometimes blends into dark backgrounds. Boost visibility by editing texture brightness:

1. Open button texture files in an image editor

2. Increase the brightness or contrast of button backgrounds

3. Add lighter borders or outlines to frames

4. Save and reload the resource pack

Enhance Text Readability

If text on buttons is hard to read:

1. Locate font texture files in assets/minecraft/textures/font

2. Increase the opacity or add a subtle shadow effect

3. Consider adding a darker background panel behind text

4. Test in low-light gaming conditions

Add Glow Effects

For animated buttons:

1. Check texture animation files (usually .mcmeta files)

2. Adjust animation speed or add brighter keyframes

3. Increase the overall luminosity of animated elements

4. This makes buttons stand out more in dim lighting

Alternative: Adjust Game Brightness

If editing feels complex:

1. Increase your game's brightness slider in Video Settings

2. This affects all GUI elements uniformly

3. Adjust gamma if available for better overall visibility

These changes help the Bedrock-style UI remain clear regardless of your environment.
