Fix Missing Outlines When Using Other Packs or Servers

Sometimes the wool outlines disappear after you add another resource pack or join a server. This is usually caused by pack order or an overriding pack, not by the pack itself.

Check your pack order

Minecraft draws textures from the pack at the top of the Selected list first. Packs lower down only fill in what the packs above them leave out.

1. Open Options, then Resource Packs.

2. Look at the Selected column. If a texture pack, PvP pack or other full texture pack sits above Outlined Wool, its own wool textures may be covering the outlines.

3. Hover over Outlined Wool and use the up arrow to move it above the other pack.

4. Click Done, let the textures reload, and place some wool to test.

If the other pack changes wool too, only one pack's wool can show at a time. Choose the one you prefer by placing it higher in the list.

Server packs and shaders

• Server resource packs: Some servers send their own pack when you join. A server pack can replace the wool textures for as long as you are connected. If the outlines vanish only on one server, try a different server or a single-player world. If the outlines come back there, the server's pack is the cause.
• Shaders: Shader loaders such as Iris or OptiFine change lighting, not the pack itself. If the borders look washed out, try another shader or turn shaders off to compare.
• Still nothing? Remove every other pack, keep only Outlined Wool selected, and test again in a fresh world.
