CustomTitleScreen
Every time you launch Minecraft, the same old title screen greets you. What if you could swap that static panorama for your own artwork, rearrange the buttons, or even add new ones? CustomTitleScreen is a lightweight Fabric mod that hands you complete control over the main menu, turning a forgettable loading screen into a personal statement. Whether you want a sleek minimalist look or a vibrant showcase of your favorite builds, this mod makes it effortless.
What Is CustomTitleScreen?
CustomTitleScreen is a Fabric-only modification designed to overhaul the vanilla Minecraft title screen. Unlike resource packs that only change textures, this mod lets you replace the entire background image, reposition every standard button, and even inject custom buttons that link to servers, websites, or specific worlds. All settings are stored in a simple configuration file, so you can tweak the layout without touching a single line of code. The mod is perfect for content creators who want a branded menu, server owners offering a unique player experience, or anyone who simply wants a fresh look each time they log in.
Key Features of CustomTitleScreen
Once you install CustomTitleScreen for Minecraft, a world of customization opens up. Here is what you can do:
- Custom background image: Place any PNG file in the config/cts/ folder and it becomes your new title screen wallpaper.
- Button repositioning: Drag the singleplayer, multiplayer, settings, and other buttons anywhere on the screen using X/Y coordinates in the config.
- Add your own buttons: Create extra menu entries that launch commands, open URLs, or connect to a specific server.
- Toggle vanilla elements: Hide the splash text, the Minecraft logo, or the panorama to achieve a completely clean interface.
- Real-time preview: Edit the config file, reload the title screen, and see changes instantly—no restart required.
How to Install CustomTitleScreen for Minecraft
Getting started is straightforward, but remember that CustomTitleScreen is built exclusively for Fabric and will not work on Forge. Follow these steps to download CustomTitleScreen and set it up correctly:
- Install the Fabric Loader for your Minecraft version (1.16.5 through 1.20.4 are supported).
- Download the Fabric API mod and place it in your mods folder—CustomTitleScreen depends on it.
- Download CustomTitleScreen from a trusted source like CurseForge or Modrinth, then move the JAR file into the same mods folder.
- Launch the game once to generate the configuration file at config/cts.json.
- Close Minecraft, open that config with any text editor, and start customizing.
If you're using the foxygame.net launcher, you can skip the manual steps entirely—just find CustomTitleScreen in the launcher's add-on library and install it with one click, complete with automatic updates for every new Minecraft version. This keeps your mods in sync without ever visiting a website.
Customizing Your Title Screen
The real magic happens inside the config file. To set a custom wallpaper, simply place your desired image in config/cts/background.png. The mod will automatically detect it and replace the default panorama. For button placement, each entry has horizontal and vertical offset values; tweak these numbers to move the button to your preferred spot. You can also add a custom button by defining its label, action type (like "open_url" or "connect_server"), and the corresponding target. After saving the config, press F3+T to reload resource packs and see the updated title screen without restarting the game. Experiment with different layouts until the menu feels uniquely yours.
Compatibility and Supported Versions
CustomTitleScreen is a Fabric-only mod, meaning it will not function with Forge or vanilla Minecraft. It supports a wide range of modern versions, including 1.16.5, 1.17.1, 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.19.4, 1.20.1, and 1.20.4. Always check the mod's download page for the exact Fabric API version required, as mismatched dependencies can cause crashes. The mod is client-side, so it works on any server without needing server-side installation—your custom title screen is visible only to you.
Why Choose CustomTitleScreen?
Unlike other menu editors that require external tools or complex scripting, CustomTitleScreen keeps everything in a human-readable config file. It is lightweight, adding no noticeable load time, and it respects the game's visual style while giving you full creative freedom. Whether you want to display your latest in-game screenshot, create a themed menu for a modpack, or simply hide the splash text you have seen a thousand times, this mod delivers. The ability to add functional custom buttons also makes it a practical tool for quick server access or linking to your community page.
CustomTitleScreen transforms the first thing you see in Minecraft into something personal and functional. With easy installation, broad version support, and a flexible config system, it is a must-have for anyone who wants their game to feel truly their own from the moment it loads.
