Resource Packs

The following resource packs have been confirmed to work with GTNH, but if you encounter issues be sure to test with the packs disabled. If you get lighting errors on the face of machines after installing a texture pack, try setting renderGlowTextures=true to renderGlowTextures=false in ./config/GregTech/Client.cfg (if you don't know how to find this file, refer to this page). Additionally, it is recommended that you place any GTNH-specific texture packs prior to global replacers (such as Faithful). GTNH is in active development, while many older texture packs for 1.7.10 are not; missing animated textures in particular can be avoided in this way.

Additional Mods and Shaders may also be of interest to players looking to customize their GTNH experience.

Resource packs that offer some kind of functionality, not just aesthetics. Good examples are ore outliners, tiered machine colors, and audio adjustments.

This section contains documentation, setup guides, and technical references related to GTNH resource packs, including configuration formats, metadata systems, compatibility features, update integration, and GTNHLib-supported functionality for pack developers and players.

The Resource Pack Update Notifier allows compatible resource packs to automatically notify players when a newer version is available on GitHub Releases.

When a supported resource pack is enabled, GTNHLib can check for updates and display an in-game notification with a clickable release link.

• Checks enabled resource packs for updates automatically
• Uses GitHub Releases as the update source
• Only checks once per game session
• Compatible with GTNH version lines (example: 2.8.X)
• Console-only debug logging (no chat spam)
• Supports manual update checks through commands

The notifier can be enabled or disabled in the GTNHLib client configuration: enableResourcePackUpdateCheck=true
If disabled, automatic update checks will not run.

Players can manually trigger update checks using: /resourcepack updateCheck
To bypass the temporary cooldown after failed requests: /resourcepack updateCheck force
Additional debug and utility commands can be viewed with: /resourcepack help

An update notification will only appear if:

• The resource pack is currently enabled
• The resource pack opted in through pack.mcmeta
• A newer compatible release exists
• The release targets the player's GTNH version line
• The release version is newer than the installed version

1. Add metadata to pack.mcmeta

Add the following top-level object:

"gtnh_resource_pack_updater": {
  "schema": 1,
  "pack_name": "<name>",
  "pack_version": "<version>",
  "pack_game_version": "<pack_game_version>",
  "source": {
    "type": "github_releases",
    "owner": "<github_owner>",
    "repo": "<repository_name>"
  }
}

 "pack_game_version": "2.8.X;2.9.X"

Example:

{
  "pack": {
    "pack_format": 1,
    "description": "§8GTNH v2.9.X §f/ §3Pack v5.21 §f- §2Modernity version §aby Ranzu"
  },
  "gtnh_resource_pack_updater": {
    "schema": 1,
    "pack_name": "ShadowUI",
    "pack_version": "5.21",
    "pack_game_version": "2.9.X",
    "source": {
      "type": "github_releases",
      "owner": "Ranzuu",
      "repo": "Shadow-UI"
    }
  }
}

2. Add release metadata

Every GitHub Release must contain an asset named exactly:

gtnh-pack-update.json

{
  "schema": 1,
  "pack_game_version": "<pack_game_version>",
  "pack_version": "<version>"
}

 "pack_game_version": "2.8.X;2.9.X"

Example:

{
  "schema": 1,
  "pack_game_version": "2.9.X",
  "pack_version": "5.21"
}

This file is used to determine:

• Which GTNH version line the release supports
• Which resource pack version the release contains

Important:

Releases without this file are ignored completely

• The notifier compares releases against the player's active GTNH version line.
  • Example: 2.8.X. Only releases targeting that version line will be considered compatible.
• Versions are compared numerically.
  • Example: 5.36 > 5.34
• Detailed information is written only to the console/log files, including:
  • Missing metadata fields
  • Invalid JSON
  • Network failures
  • Cooldown skips
  • No matching compatible releases
• No debug information is sent to in-game chat.

Available on GTNHLib 0.9.24 (with later fixes). Added by Ranzu in GTNHLib #260.

With the addition of ModularUI2, users gained the ability to create or override custom themes.

• Themes documentation
• GTNH Themes

• Minecraft Wiki Formatting codes page
• Minecraft Wiki Resource Pack page (keep in mind GTNH is on 1.7.10, so the newer resource pack format is different)
