Better Main Menu
by Mitzingdash
Better Main Menu changes the title screen of Minecraft Java Edition, with a new background, a logo image and button contrast tweaks on Fabric.
What it does
Better Main Menu replaces parts of the title screen: a single background image, a single logo image, and simple adjustments that make the buttons easier to read against the background. Only the client needs the mod, so players can install it while servers run without it. The author credits the PixelClient idea as the starting point for the changes.
The mod is published for Fabric alone, with files covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 across five release versions: 1.20.1, 1.20.2, 1.20.4, 1.21 and 1.21.1. Its latest file is 1.0-alpha.1 for 1.21.1, an alpha build from 2024-09-10. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public links to the source and the issue tracker.
Installation needs Fabric API and TCDCommons API. Mod Menu is optional, and the author notes the mod stays compatible with it.

What the author says
Mod ads some simple changes to the ui and changes the background for now there is only one image for the background and one image for the logo. But that will change!
