Barista - Window Title Editor
by Ewy
Barista lets players change the window title bar text and icon, and appends selected game information to the title through a modular JSON configuration.
What it does
The mod replaces the default window title with custom text and swaps the window icon. Its title is built from modules defined in a JSON configuration file, so each piece of game information can be turned on, off or reordered without changing code. Information the title can show includes the active world, the current version and other values the configuration selects.
Barista is a client mod for Fabric and Forge. Its files cover 1.16 – 1.20 across 17 release versions, and the latest file is 1.1.2 for 1.20. Because it runs only on the client, a server does not need to install it, and players on any server can use it alone. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source, issue tracker and wiki are public.
Key features
Custom window title

Game information is added to the title through modules, each set up in a JSON file.
Configurable order and selection

Use cases
Streamers and recordings
A title that shows the world and version helps viewers and editors identify footage.
Several game windows
Distinct titles make it easier to tell apart multiple Minecraft instances on the same desktop.
Who it’s for: Players who run several game instances, record or stream gameplay, or want the window to show details of the current session.
How it compares
True Window is a client-side option for changing the window title and icon. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.7.10 – 26.2 and is under All rights reserved, so its code is closed. Visual Recipe Editor is a different kind of tool: its code is closed, it is published for Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, and it works on a client, a server or both.
