New Style Squid Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I know if the resource pack is actually working?
Load into a world where the pack is applied, find a regular squid in water, and compare it to a glow squid nearby—the regular squid should now have similar coloring and shading. If the squid still looks like the original pale texture, check your resource pack list in world settings to confirm it's enabled and ranked above any conflicting packs.
Does this pack change glow squid textures too?
No, this pack only modifies regular squids to match the glow squid's visual style. Glow squids remain unchanged, so you'll see both types looking cohesive without the pack altering the glowing variant.
Will this pack affect squid behavior or drops?
No, this is purely cosmetic—squids behave identically and drop the same items as before. Only their appearance changes.
What if I have other texture packs installed?
Resource packs stack based on their order in your pack list; whichever pack is ranked highest will take priority. If another pack also modifies squid textures, move New Style Squid above it to ensure its textures display.
Can I use this pack on a multiplayer server?
Yes, resource packs are client-side only, so you can apply it to your game without affecting other players or requiring server permission.
Does this pack work with shaders or HD texture mods?
Yes, since it's a lightweight texture adjustment, it works alongside shaders and other visual mods. If you notice conflicts, adjust the load order of your resource packs.
Why do squids in my old worlds still look different?
Make sure the pack is applied to that specific world—check your world's resource pack settings and confirm New Style Squid is enabled. If it's enabled but not working, try reloading the world or moving the pack higher in your pack list.
Does this pack change squid colors in different biomes?
No, the pack applies the same unified texture to all regular squids regardless of location. All squids will now match the glow squid's aesthetic consistently.
Will this pack slow down my game?
No, this is a minimal resource pack that only adjusts existing textures, so it has negligible impact on performance.
Can I use this pack with Optifine or other optimization mods?
Yes, resource packs are compatible with optimization mods like Optifine. The pack will work normally alongside them.
