Description from the author on Modrinth

Official Modded Support for [Colourful Containers DARK MODE GUI](https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/colourful-containers-dark-mode-gui) by Kingybu

I didn't like Minecraft's default GUI, and when i found this amazing resource pack I instantly wanted to play with it. The big problem was it had no mod support, and so I aim to change that. I've started with all of the mods in my personal pack, and now i plan to get more mods and updates out as frequently as possible. 

Feel free to use this in your modpacks, and if you have any mods or suggestions for the pack, you can join Kingybu's discord below or leave it in the comments. I hope you enjoy the pack!

MAKE SURE TO LOAD THIS ABOVE THE BASE PACK!!
