Troubleshoot Squids Still Looking Like the Original Texture

Common Causes and Solutions

Resource pack not enabled: Verify the pack appears in your Selected list in Resource Packs menu, not just Available.

Incorrect pack order: Move New Style Squid above any other packs that modify mob textures. Packs lower in the list override those above.

Cache not cleared: Close your game completely and reopen it. Minecraft sometimes caches textures and needs a full restart to reload resource packs.

Advanced Troubleshooting

If squids remain unchanged after these steps:

1. Delete the resource pack and reinstall it

2. Check that the pack file structure is correct (textures should be in a textures/entity/ folder)

3. Ensure no other installed mods or resource packs are conflicting with squid textures

4. Try the pack in a fresh creative world to isolate whether the issue is world-specific

If the problem persists, the pack may be incompatible with your current game version or other installed content.
