Questions about Dark Smooth GUI.
3 questions
How do I install Dark Smooth GUI?
Save the .zip from Modrinth, open Options, then Resource Packs, then Open Pack Folder in Java, and drop the file in. Back in the Resource Packs screen, move the pack to the Selected side. It works as a normal resource pack and needs no loader.
Is Dark Smooth GUI available for Bedrock?
No. It is a Java pack only. Modrinth hosts Java content, and Bedrock uses a different pack format, so this file will not load there. Bedrock players need a pack made for that format.
Does Dark Smooth GUI need any mods?
No. The newest release requires nothing and works as a plain resource pack. Its listed optional mods include Mod Menu, EMI and Axiom, which you can add if you already use them.
