Dark Mode Vanilla
transforms Minecraft’s user interface into a cohesive, low‑glare dark theme while preserving the original vanilla look and feel. Every GUI element — menus, inventories, tooltips, HUD elements, and creative‑mode tab backgrounds — has been retinted and redesigned for improved contrast and readability in low‑light play sessions. The pack keeps block and item textures unchanged so gameplay remains familiar; only interface elements are adjusted to deliver a modern, comfortable dark‑mode experience.
