TEXTOOLS

If the game is running before following the guide, close it.

1. Download the latest version of the Material UI and OPTIONS from the Releases page.
2. Unzip the downloaded compressed files to somewhere you can find them.
   • If you already have TexTools installed skip to step 5
3. Download the latest version of the Install_TexTools.exe file from here.
4. Install and run the program.
   • If you do not have the latest version of .NET you will not be able to open the program and will get an error. If this happens download the latest version of .NET here .NET downloads
   • Try opening the program again.
   • For additional troubleshooting, join their discord here.
5. Click Help → Backup Index Files menu.
   • This will create a backup, so that if you want to revert the changes you can clear all of them by clicking Help → Start Over.
6. Click Mods → Import Mod Packs
7. Select Material 4K-UI BLACK (version).ttmp2 and hit open button.
   • If you want to apply additional OPTIONS, select the OPTIONS ttmp2 in the same way as step 6 to 7
   • Any mods containing conflicting textures will be loaded in the order that they were installed meaning installing an option before the main file will not work as expected. It is generally best to install mods one by one instead of all at once
8. All of the textures will now be loaded next time you launch FFXIV.

PENUMBRA

If you are a person who uses the material UI for mods, I recommend using Penumbra rather than TexTool. This is updated automatically without having to worry about the index file breaking down every time a patch occurs. You can also easily apply various options.

I would like to express my great gratitude to @Sevii for making and managing this.

⚠️ WARNING!!! ⚠️

If you were previously using Material UI mods using the TexTool, you should click the Help → Start Over menus and turn the index back to its original state. If TexTool and Penumbra are used at the same time, conflicts may occur.

Set 4K UI resolution

1. Click ESC key on keyboard → System Configuration → Graphic Settings tab → UI Resolution Settings
2. Choose the option: High (4k)
   • This is an in-game setting that does NOT require a 4k monitor.
