# π Spooky GUI — A Halloween Makeover for Minecraft
> *The moon is full, the candles are lit… and your inventory will never look the same again.* ππ―οΈ
**Spooky GUI** completely redesigns Minecraft's interface and HUD for Halloween. This is **not** a simple recolour: every container screen is **redrawn from scratch** as a tiny moonlit graveyard, with ornate pumpkin frames, rounded slots, divided sections and hand-placed decorations that change from screen to screen.
It is **100% client-side** — install it and join any server or world. π§

## β¨ Highlights
### πͺ¦ Every container is a graveyard
- πΌοΈ **Ornate pumpkin frames** with gilded corner brackets and candle-coloured studs
- π **Segmented panels** — the inventory and hotbar sections are linked by notched dividers instead of plain grey boxes
- π **Night-sky backgrounds** with swirling violet fog and twinkling stars, plus a *witch's lattice* behind your inventory
- πͺ **Rounded, inset slots** — and **glowing pumpkin rings** around every result slot
- πͺ¦ **A unique scene on every screen**: RIP tombstones, stone crosses, gnarled dead trees, wrought-iron fences, jack-o'-lanterns, dripping candles, skulls, a full moon, flying bats, a bat hanging from the frame and a spider dangling on its thread π·οΈ
- β°οΈ **Your player stands inside a coffin** in the inventory (and in the creative inventory tab!)
- πΈοΈ Cobwebs in the corners of every container
- π€ Titles and labels are written in **warm candle light**, so they stay readable on the dark panels
Works on the inventory, chests (single & double), furnaces, blast furnaces, smokers, crafting tables, the crafter, anvils, brewing stands, enchanting tables, stonecutters, looms, grindstones, cartography tables, smithing tables, hoppers, dispensers, droppers, shulker boxes, villagers, beacons, horses and the **creative inventory with all its tabs**.
### β€οΈ A brand-new HUD
| Vanilla | Spooky GUI |
|---|---|
| β€οΈ Hearts | π **Jack-o'-lantern hearts** — hardcore hearts get a carved face! Poison turns them toxic green π§ͺ, wither turns them to ash, freezing turns them to ice βοΈ and absorption turns them to golden candy |
| π Hunger | π¬ **Wrapped candies** (they go sour and green when you have Hunger) |
| π‘οΈ Armour | π **Little skulls** |
| π«§ Air bubbles | π» **Ghosts** that fade away as they pop |
| β¬ Hotbar | πͺ A dark velvet hotbar with an orange frame, candle studs and a **pumpkin-stem selector** |
| π© XP bar | π₯ A **glowing ember bar** with sparks |
### π°οΈ Pumpkin clock
A small HUD widget shows the **time of day** and counts your **nights** survived. At night the jack-o'-lantern **lights up and flickers like a candle**, and at the **witching hour** (00:00) the clock turns **blood red**. π©Έ
A soft **violet mist** creeps in from the edges of the screen after dark.
### π Haunted menus
- π **Halloween loading screen** — the red Mojang Studios screen is replaced by a midnight sky with a full moon, flying bats, a glowing jack-o'-lantern, *HAPPY HALLOWEEN* in pixel letters, a graveyard on the horizon and an **ember progress bar with a dancing candle flame** π―οΈ (at startup and on every resource reload)
- π¦ Title screen at **night**: the panorama turns violet with a pumpkin glow on the horizon, a **full moon** rises and **bats fly across the logo**
- π§ Orange **MINECRAFT** logo
- πͺ Velvet buttons with pumpkin trim, chamfered corners and candle rivets
- π¨οΈ Tooltips framed in pumpkin orange with **gold diamond studs**
- βοΈ New checkboxes, sliders, tabs, text fields and scroll bars
- π¬ **Halloween splash texts** — *"Trick or treat!"*, *"Spooky scary skeletons!"*, *"¡Truco o trato!"* and many more
