Mandalas GUI KOTS Compat Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to install anything else before using this resource pack?
Yes, you must have MandalasGUI Modded Darkmode v4.6 or later loaded as your base resource pack first. This compatibility pack only adds themed screens for mods on top of that foundation.
Why are some of my mod GUIs still bright white even with this pack enabled?
The mod you're using may not be included in this pack's supported list, or the resource pack load order is wrong—make sure Mandalas GUI KOTS Compat loads after the base Mandalas GUI Dark Mode pack. Check the Identify Which Mods Are Themed guide to see if your specific mod version is covered.
How do I know which mods get dark themes from this pack?
The pack supports Create series, Let's Do series, Delight series, and utility mods like Iron's Spellbooks, Functional Storage, JEI, and Curios. See the Identify Which Mods Are Themed guide for the complete list and specific mod versions.
Can I use this with other GUI resource packs at the same time?
You can load multiple packs, but conflicts may occur if they theme the same mods—prioritize Mandalas GUI KOTS Compat in your load order to ensure its dark textures take effect over conflicting packs.
Text in my dark-themed storage screens is hard to read. How do I fix this?
The pack darkens text frames to match the theme, but you can adjust text contrast in your resource pack settings or customize the pack using the Customize Item Display guide to lighten specific text elements.
Does this pack work with modpacks that have hundreds of mods?
It works best with large modpacks if those mods are in the supported list; unsupported mods will keep their default bright GUIs. The pack itself has minimal performance impact since it only replaces textures.
Why do my storage crates and crafting tables look different colors from each other?
Different mods style their interfaces differently, and this pack applies dark themes based on each mod's original design. If screens look inconsistent, check the Fix Mismatched or Bright GUI Screens guide to ensure all packs are loaded in the correct order.
Can I customize which mods get the dark theme treatment?
You can disable or modify specific mod themes by editing the resource pack files, though this requires manual texture editing—see the Customize Item Display guide for guidance on adjusting individual mod screens.
Does this pack affect my game's performance or FPS?
No, resource packs only change textures and have negligible performance impact. Your FPS should remain the same whether this pack is loaded or not.
What should I do if a mod updates and its GUI no longer matches the dark theme?
Check if the mod version is still supported in this pack—if the mod updated beyond the supported versions, you may need to wait for a pack update or use the Fix Mismatched or Bright GUI Screens guide to manually adjust textures for the new version.
