Blackspion's Pack
A consistent dark theme for Minecraft: hearts, armor indicator, food, XP bar, crosshair, and other HUD elements are done entirely in black/grayscale instead of vanilla's default colors. Several popular mods are also recolored to match, keeping the theme consistent across your whole interface.
Features
- Hearts – all 47 variants (normal, hardcore, absorption, frozen, poisoned, withered, vehicle, container) in black
- Armor indicator – black/dark gray instead of silver
- Food indicator – including hunger-blink variants, fully darkened
- XP bar – progress bar keeps its original block/segment pattern, now in grayscale
- Crosshair – redesigned, high-contrast reticle
- Attack indicator & hotbar selection frame – subtly darkened
- Beacon effect icons – bright symbols on a dark background for clear contrast
Mod Support
Required:
- Fabric Loader + Fabric API
Works without any mods: HUD, inventory, and GUI all function fine in pure vanilla.
Optionally supported (only relevant if you have the mod installed):
| Mod | What gets recolored |
|---|---|
| AppleSkin | Saturation/exhaustion icons (gold/red → gray) |
| JEI | Full recipe book window, buttons, icons |
| Polytone | White XP level text (via color.properties) |
| Crosshair Indicator PLUS | Crosshair color change when a target is in hit range |
If you don't have one of these mods installed, nothing breaks — the extra files simply sit unused in the pack with no errors or warnings.
Compatibility
The pack covers a wide pack_format range and should load without a "may be incompatible" warning from 1.18 up to 26.2.
Installation
- Drop the file into the
resourcepacksfolder of your.minecraftinstall - In-game: Options → Resource Packs → enable the pack
- Optional: install the mods listed above for the additional themed UI elements
