GUI-Uniqueify
by MathiMand
GUI-Uniqueify lets resource packs restyle the Ender Chest, trapped chests, shulker boxes, villager trades and the XP bar text on the client.
What it does
The mod is a small client-side addition for Fabric that lets resource packs change how several inventory screens look. Players who use a texture pack can give the GUI of containers a distinct appearance without editing game files. Shulker box screens can be colored by the box's dye, and villager screens can be styled by profession and biome, so the same resource pack gives each villager and box its own look.
Beyond textures, the mod adds a label overlay drawn above the GUI texture of named containers, so a chest renamed in an anvil shows its name on the screen. The experience bar text can also be recolored. The mod covers the Ender Chest and trapped chests as well as the other containers, and it changes nothing on the server, so players join servers without installing it.
GUI-Uniqueify is published for Fabric only, for the 1.21.5 – 1.21.7 range, with a single file for 1.21.7 as the latest build. No required dependency is listed for Fabric.
Key features
Ender Chest styling
The Ender Chest screen can take its own texture from a resource pack, separate from a standard chest.
Trapped chest styling
Trapped chests get a texture of their own, so they can be told apart from regular chests in a room.
Dye-based shulker boxes
Shulker box screens take a color matching the dye of the box, which resource packs can style.
Profession and biome villagers
Villager trading screens are styled by profession and biome, so villagers of the same job look different across regions.
Labeled containers
A label overlay drawn above the GUI texture shows the name of a named container on its screen.
Recolored XP bar text
The text shown on the experience bar can be given a different color.

How it compares
Custom Crosshair X is client-side only, targets 1.21 – 1.21.11 with Fabric, and is not open source under All rights reserved, so it changes the crosshair rather than GUI screens. BetterTotemHighlight is client-side only for Fabric across 1.21.4 – 1.21.8 under the MIT License, and is open source, focusing on totem highlighting. No Esc in GUI is client-side only for Fabric across 1.21.4 – 1.21.11, released under the MIT License but not open source, and it removes the Escape key from GUI screens.
