Custom Main Menu

43,673,658 Downloads Last Updated: Nov 15, 2018 Game Version: 1.12.2




After your first run with this mod the only difference you should notice is that there is an additional button added in your main menu. If you look in the config/CustomMainMenu folder you will notice a file called menu.json. In there you will see all elements the vanilla main menu has, modifying the content and pressing the refresh button ingame will allow you to instantly see what changes you made (You can remove the refresh button once you are happy with your result). Everything in there should be fairly self explanatory if you have ever worked with json files. See the Pages for more Information about the different stuff you can add to your menu.


All cursive properties allow a random value. Example: "text" : ["Text1","Text2","Text3","Text4"]. One of the values will be selected randomly every minecraft run.

For the texture / image / text property it takes a resource location (or (for images) if you use web as your resource domain an url to an image online). You can add your own resources ones using either a resource pack or Resource Loader (easier).


If you don't wanna go through all the links you can also go to the images tab to see some of the results.

Some of these examples might not work / look properly with the latest CMM version due to changes in the format, they will still provide insight on how the stuff displayed in the example was done though. Also some of these examples might require custom images, these will therefore also look a bit weird when you use them yourself.


Useful Tools

  • Textcraft: Websites to generate "logo" type text stuff.
  • Minotar: Simple way to get a players skin / head / whatever through an url. Can for example be used together with "web:" to get the avatar of the user as an image.


Reporting Issues

Before creating an issue on github make sure that:

  • Your json file is actually valid json (Run it through an online json checker)
  • All your resource locations (For example paths to images) are completely lower case (In the json file and your file system)
  • You aren't missing any properties / sections that aren't optional.
  • That your property names are 100% correct
  • If you get missing textures create a folder called debug in your resources folder. That will cause Resource Loader to print a line to the debug log whenever it can't find a file minecraft requested. (Debug log can be found in fml-client-latest.log). Make sure the file path is 100% correct (On Windows you can try to "run" it using Win + R)


If you have suggestions on what you want modifiable or wanna report a bug you found please do that on my github issue tracker and not on curseforge :).


Feel free to use this mod in any modpack :). You don't have to send me anything.
