«Bored of Minecraft's basic user interface? Sick of approaching your enchanting table only to be presented by the same grey menu as the crafting table? Looking to add some colour into your game?

Introducing Colourful Containers! A container GUI replacement mod that hopes to match the menu to every one of Minecraft's colourful intractable blocks»

- Chris XENO

And now I'm introducing completely remade, retextured, reimagined version – Recolourful Containers with new versions support, new textures and even more immersion!

All GUIs were changed with inspiration taken from the block its associated with. Fixes for vanilla Minecraft textures, HUD changes, even animated GUIs in vanilla and much MUCH MORE!

What Are They Up To

If you want full experience, combination of OptiGUI and Animatica or OptiFine is required

OR

If you don't want to use OptiGUI, or you are using only OptiFine mod, you can activate built-in "Vanilla+" mode in the language settings

How to use:

For other languages support, use separate VANILLA+ pack at the bottom of the version page below the main file

Q&A:

Q: Where can I ask about anything (that is not in this list)?

A: Join Recolourful Discord server and ask there!

List of known issues:

With OptiFine:

Villagers professions don't work
Barrels show Chest GUI texture
Boats with Chest show last visited chest-like container GUI texture
Some horse-like entities are unsupported

It is recommended to use "Vanilla+" mode, if you are using only OptiFine

Q: Chests/shulker boxes/Villagers' professions GUIs don't work!

A: Check if you have either OptiGUI or OptiFine installed or changed language to "Vanilla+"

Q: Can you add support to X mod?

A: Short answer: I can, in theory. Leave your suggestions in the comments or submit them in Discord!

Q: Can I use Recolourful Containers in modpack / Can I modify Recolourful Containers / Can I do X with Recolourful Containers?

A: Check Terms of Use at the bottom of the description

Q: I want to support you! How can I do that?
