In 1.21.100, Minecraft introduced an accessibility feature which added large amounts of padding between each setting category button, as well as between individual settings within a category.
This makes scrolling through the menu take longer as the vertical size of both panels is much larger, as well as making the menus look a lot worse.
This texture pack changes the UI of the settings menu to remove the padding introduced in the 1.21.100 update, making the settings menu equivalent to prior versions, whilst still including any new settings that may have been introduced in updates post 1.21.100.
This pack is also compatible with other UI texture packs that may slightly alter the appearance of the settings menu.
Below is a comparison of the current spacing for the settings category buttons in Vanilla Minecraft versus the spacing using this texture pack.

(Using the pack)

As you can see, using the pack is slightly more than twice as efficient in terms of spacing for the buttons, which will make navigating the menu much easier.
