Minecraft Shrimp's Immersive Interfaces resource pack: Features, how to install, and more

Despite the way gaming graphics have changed, some of Minecraft's elements from the past continue to sport an old-school design. This includes the graphics, the animations, and the UI. Many players like the old-school UI design, but if you are not one of them, then you can completely change the UI using resource packs.

This article will delve into the Shrimp’s Immersive Interfaces resource pack for Minecraft. This resource pack changes the way you interact with different items in the game, making it more immersive. Here’s everything you need to know about the resource pack, from the features to the installation guide.

Instead of just changing the UI elements of the game, the Shrimp’s Immersive Interface resource pack adds a visual identity to the UI. This is impressive as it changes how different items' interfaces look. For example, instead of the basic grid you see after opening a chest, the resource pack shows an open chest with a grid under it.

When you interact with a librarian, it also shows the librarian sitting, reading a book while waiting for the trade. These little elements are present for most in-game items. The animation style is also aesthetically pleasing, and it makes the game more immersive.

This resource pack is great for all the players who do not want to change too many things about Minecraft but improve the parts that obviously need some improvement. Now that you know what the resource pack does, here’s the guide on how you can install it.

Points to note

Before you install and run the resource packs, there are some points to keep in mind. Firstly, this resource pack is still in its Beta stage. This means there might be some errors or glitches. Expect a few when interacting with different items or villagers. However, it is very unlikely that you will face a major issue.

On top of this, not all the items and villagers are included in this resource pack. Items such as the blast furnace, the cartography table, the observer, and so on do not have their UI changed. That said, the developer is working on it, and you can expect the final release soon.
