About this project

What does SKD Menu add?

🖌️ SKD Menu

Fully customize your Minecraft main menu — backgrounds, buttons, and overlays.

✨ Overview

SKD Menu lets you completely redesign the Minecraft title screen without touching a single line of code. Everything is controlled from a simple JSON config file: change the background to an image, a solid color, or an animated sequence; reposition or hide any button; add your own custom buttons; and overlay images anywhere on the screen.

🎯 Features

🖼️ Custom Backgrounds

Choose between the vanilla panorama, a static image, a solid color, or an animated frame-by-frame sequence for a pseudo-video effect. Images can be loaded from resource packs or mod assets.

🔘 Button Layout

Reposition every vanilla button — singleplayer, multiplayer, options, quit, language, accessibility, and mods — by setting X/Y coordinates in the config. Hide any button you don't need.

➕ Custom Buttons

Add your own buttons with actions: execute in-game commands, open the singleplayer/multiplayer/options screens, open a URL in your browser, or quit the game.

🖼️ Image Overlays

Render images at any position on the screen with configurable width, height, and scale. Useful for logos, watermarks, or decorative elements.

⚙️ JSON Config

All settings live in a single config/skd_menu_menu.json file, auto-generated on first launch. Edit it with any text editor and reload by re-opening the title screen.

📋 Requirements

Minecraft 26.2
NeoForge 26.2.0.35-beta

🎮 How to Use

  1. Install the mod and launch Minecraft once to generate the config file.
  2. Edit config/skd_menu_menu.json in any text editor.
  3. Change the background.type to "image", "color", or "animated".
  4. Set button positions under buttons.positions.
  5. Add custom buttons under buttons.custom.
  6. Re-open the title screen to see your changes.
