GUI Retextures is a Java resource pack by frugbug that restyles the HUD and nearly every container screen. It is a small pack with a dark mode and optional configuration through Respackopts. It is a resource pack, so it needs no mod loader and is used on the player's own machine only.
Supported versions
- Minecraft 1.19.4 to 26.3.
What changes visually

Questions about GUI Retextures.
4 questions
How do I install GUI Retextures?
Get the .zip from the Versions tab on Modrinth and place it in the resourcepacks folder, which you can open from Options, Resource Packs, Open Pack Folder. Then move the pack to the Selected side of the Resource Packs screen. No mod or loader is needed.
Is GUI Retextures available for Bedrock?
No. It is a Java resource pack. Bedrock uses a different pack format, and the pack's page does not offer a Bedrock file. Java players on 1.19.4 and newer can use it directly.
How do I get the dark mode?
Dark mode is a separate file. Open the Versions tab on the Modrinth page and pick the dark mode download there, then install it like any other resource pack.
Does GUI Retextures work with older releases like 1.19.2 or 1.8?
Not through Modrinth. Files here start at 1.19.4. The creator points players on earlier releases, including 1.19.2 and 1.8, to a separate CurseForge page.
