Minecraft Transparent GUI texture pack: How to get and use

Minecraft has many in-game user interfaces (GUI) that players can interact with. These GUIs can either be of their inventory, a certain function of a block, or the pause menu. While the vanilla version has a light gray and gray tone in it's GUI, some players may want other colors or none; this may be the case with opacity as well. Thankfully, there is a resource pack specifically for making every single GUI transparent.

Here is everything to know about the Transparent GUI and heads-up display (HUD) resource pack for Minecraft.

As mentioned above, this texture pack helps players view the gameplay in action as all of the GUIs and HUDs become transparent. The GUIs are specifically made to allow users to view what's in front of them as well as where items should go.

For example, the hotbar section only shows the items but removes it's borders, the XP bar's empty area is not shown, and any block GUI only shows crafting or inventory slots and headings in dark color. Whenever players open a GUI, the rest of the FOV is clearly visible, but it is slightly dimmed.
