Quick start

Get started with Default Cyan Theme in minutes

Follow these steps — most installs take under five minutes.

Step 1

Download the Cyan DPT build for your Minecraft version — the family covers 1.8.9 and 1.20.3 through 26.2, each range shipping its own pack_format.

Step 2

Copy the ZIP into your resourcepacks/ folder — %appdata%\.minecraft\resourcepacks on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/resourcepacks on macOS, ~/.minecraft/resourcepacks on Linux.

Step 3

Launch Minecraft, open Options > Resource Packs.

Step 4

Enable "Default Cyan Theme" and move it near the top of the list — packs override lower ones — then relaunch to see the theme.

Step 5

Expect a full re-theme: HUD (hotbar, hearts, hunger, armor, XP bar, crosshair), all containers, widgets, title screen and panorama.

Step 6

Pair it with other packs using Pack Merger if you combine looks — stacking resource packs directly causes conflicts.

Which versions?

Java Edition only — 1.8.9, and 1.20.3 through 26.2. Pick the build for your version range; each ships its own pack_format.

Is there Bedrock support?

No — DPT packs are Java Edition only. Need a Bedrock or custom variant? Message us for a special request.

Does it change gameplay?

No — purely visual.

Does it work with shaders?

Yes — it is a standard GUI pack compatible with OptiFine/Iris shaders.

Can I use it in a modpack?

Yes — with credit. License: provided as-is, modpack use with credit.

What pack formats?

Can I combine DPT packs?

Yes, using Pack Merger to combine packs and resolve conflicts — stacking resource packs directly causes conflicts.

How do I install it?

Drop the ZIP into your resourcepacks folder, launch the game, open Options → Resource Packs, enable the pack and move it near the top of the list. On macOS the folder is ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/resourcepacks; on Linux, ~/.minecraft/resourcepacks.

What exactly gets re-themed?

The whole GUI: HUD (hotbar with neon borders, hearts full/half/empty, hunger, armor bar, gradient XP bar, crosshair), every container screen (inventory, crafting, furnace, chest, enchanting, brewing, anvil, beacon, hopper, shulker, barrel, dispenser/dropper, stonecutter, grindstone, loom, smithing), widgets (buttons, checkboxes, sliders) and the title screen with logo and panoramic background.

Can I customise the theme?

Each colour is its own pack — pick your colour from the DPT family, or combine packs with Pack Merger. For a custom colour or variant, request a commission through the support portal.

Does it work on servers?

It is a client-side resource pack — it changes what you see only. Install it like any other pack and you are done.
