Updated GUI uses OptiGUI. While not required, it\u2019s recommended to use it so each storage container can have its own dedicated interface, and because the generic_54 texture currently used is textured specifically for chests only. <\/p>\n

However, alternative textures are included in the texture files, so they can be swapped to fit your needs when OptiGUI is not installed or for server use.<\/p>\n

\nIssues\/Solutions<\/summary>\n

## When OptiGUI is not installed
\nThe generic_54 texture labeled \u201cgeneric_54 default\u201d can be renamed to “generic_54” which uses a “Storage” label that can be used across chests, ender chests, and barrels **when OptiGUI is not installed.**<\/p>\n
