XingLuo AE2 GUIExpansion Model FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Why do my ME terminals look the same after installing the pack?
Make sure the resource pack is moved to the active column (right side) in your Resource Packs menu, not just present in the folder. You may also need to close and reopen your world for changes to take effect.
Do I need Applied Energistics 2 installed for this to work?
Yes, this pack is designed specifically to restyle AE2 interfaces and components, so the mod must be present in your installation.
Can I use this pack with other resource packs at the same time?
Yes, but pack order matters—place XingLuo AE2 GUIExpansion Model higher in the active list if you want its textures to take priority over conflicting packs.
The glowing animations on my terminal aren't showing up. What's wrong?
Your Minecraft version must support animated textures; if you're on an older version, upgrade to a more recent release. Also check that your graphics settings aren't set to the lowest quality, which may disable animation effects.
Will this pack affect my game performance?
The pack adds detailed textures and animations, so performance depends on your hardware; most modern systems handle it well, but older computers may see a slight FPS drop, especially with many animated blocks visible at once.
Do the 3D models for cables and connectors work with all AE2 cable types?
The pack includes custom models for energy connectors, laser nodes, and pipe segments; some standard cable variants may retain default appearance depending on which parts the pack covers.
Can I customize the colors of the glowing terminal screens?
This resource pack provides a fixed visual style; to change colors, you would need to edit the texture files yourself or use a separate mod that allows AE2 color customization.
Why do some storage blocks still look old-fashioned?
The pack updates base chests and pedestals, but if you're using specialized storage variants from other mods, those won't be restyled unless the pack includes textures for them.
Does this pack work in multiplayer servers?
Yes, resource packs are client-side only, so you can use it on any server without needing server-side installation or permission.
How do I know if the pack is actually changing anything if I'm new to AE2?
Place down an ME terminal, transmutation table, or laser connector—the glowing holographic screens and angular 3D designs will be immediately visible compared to vanilla AE2 blocks.
