Sparkles: Stardust Labs Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
What does the Sparkles resource pack actually do?
It adds custom mob and item textures for Stardust Labs projects like 
Incendium, fixes biome names so they display correctly on minimaps, and provides translations for those projects. It's meant to be used alongside Stardust Labs datapacks, not on its own.

Place Sparkles above any pack it needs to override, but below packs whose textures you want to keep. If biome names or Incendium textures aren't showing, move Sparkles higher in the list.

My minimap still shows vanilla biome names instead of Incendium ones. How do I fix it?
Enable Sparkles in your resource pack list and reload resources with F3+T. The pack supplies the biome name translations that minimap mods like

It will still load, but the Incendium-specific textures and translations won't have anything to apply to. Install the matching Stardust Labs datapack in your world for the pack to do its job.
How do I get the translations to show in my language?
Set your Minecraft language to a supported one in Options > Language, then reload resources. Sparkles ships translation files for Incendium and other Stardust Labs projects, so biome and item names appear localized instead of in English.

No, it's a resource pack that only swaps textures and language files, so it doesn't add world generation or entities. Any performance change comes from the datapack it supports, not Sparkles itself.
Do I need to reinstall Sparkles after updating Incendium?
Yes, keep Sparkles updated alongside the datapack it supports, since new mobs, items, or biome names in a newer Incendium version may not have textures or translations in an older Sparkles build.

Only items and mobs that Incendium actually defines get custom textures, and any item without one falls back to vanilla. Check that the datapack is loaded and that Sparkles sits above packs overriding the same files.
