About the Dark Mode Texture Pack

This dark theme pack switches Minecraft's user interface to dark shades. Dark Mode doesn't change block textures, but it gives the GUI, inventory, crafting screen, settings and all menus a dark background with light elements. It's ideal if you play at night or simply prefer dark interfaces.

You can combine it with any other block texture pack.
