DO NOT DISABLE

DO NOT DISABLE

A large, opinionated resource pack built over several years for the Twilight modpack.

It is released separately so that any pack author can use it, and so that it can be updated independently of the modpack.

What is inside

• Music and ambient sound — the bulk of the download, replacing and extending vanilla and mod tracks
• Textures for vanilla and for a long list of mods
• Emissive overlays — things that should glow, glow
• Custom Item Textures — items change appearance by enchantment, by name, by variant
• Connected textures
• Custom sky
• Custom lightmaps for the Overworld, the Nether and the End
• Interface work — including a custom theme for WTHIT
• Localisation fixes

Requirements

Minecraft 1.20.1 and earlier

OptiFine. Everything in those versions is built on OptiFine’s format: CIT, CTM, custom sky, emissive textures, custom colours. Without OptiFine the pack still loads, but only the plain textures and the music will apply.

Minecraft 1.21.1

OptiFine does not exist for Neoforge 1.21.1. Its features are split across several mods, and the pack expects these:

All five are optional in the strict sense — the pack loads without them and simply shows fewer effects. Nothing breaks.

About the item textures

The CIT rules have been updated for 1.21, not merely carried over. Minecraft 1.20.5 replaced item NBT with data components, and every rule that relied on NBT paths has been rewritten:

• firework rules now match components.minecraft:fireworks.flight_duration and explosions.0.shape, with the explosion shape given as its 1.21 name (small_ball, large_ball, star, creeper, burst) instead of the old numeric type
• tropical fish buckets match components.minecraft:bucket_entity_data.BucketVariantTag
• name matching uses nbt.display.Name, which CIT Resewn bridges to the modern component itself

Rules whose assets were never shipped have been removed rather than left to fail silently. The result is a clean parse: CIT Resewn reports no errors on this pack.

If you are on 1.20.1 or earlier, OptiFine reads the same files and the older syntax it expects is still what those versions use.

Custom sky is OptiFine-format and has no reader on 1.21.1 at the moment. It is kept in the pack for the older versions.

Supported mods

The pack carries assets for the mods below. The more of them your pack has, the more of this pack you will actually see. Anything not on the list is simply untouched — the pack never breaks a mod it does not know.

Names below are taken from each mod’s own manifest, so they match what you will see in your mod list.

Notes

Load order. Place this pack above other packs that only add small overrides, and below any pack whose look you want to win. It touches a lot of namespaces, so it will override more than most packs do.

Music. Most of the download is audio — that is where the size comes from. Every track has been normalised to −18 LUFS with a −1.5 dBTP ceiling, so nothing clips and nothing is startlingly loud next to anything else.

Performance. The pack is stored uncompressed inside the archive. That makes the file larger, but it removes the decompression step every time Minecraft reads a texture or a sound — loading is faster, which matters at this size.

About the name

The pack is called DO NOT DISABLE because it is an inseparable part of my Twilight modpack. Switching it off there breaks the pack: interface themes, several sound fixes and a large amount of content go with it.

If you are here from outside that modpack — the name is a note to my own players, not a warning to you. Use it with whatever pack you like, disable it whenever you want, mix it with anything.

The name is inconvenient. The contents are worth it.
