Compact UI
by mrmelon54
Compact UI reduces the spacing and layout of several Minecraft menu screens, such as the world list, resource pack list and server list.
What it does
The mod compresses parts of the vanilla interface so more entries fit on screen at once. Its changes apply to the world selection list, the resource pack list and the multiplayer server list, and they affect how those menus are laid out for the player. Because the changes are visual, the game rules and saved worlds stay as they are.
Compact UI is client-side only, so only the player's game needs it and servers can run without it. Files are published for Fabric and Forge, and the 1.20.4 builds are the latest. The mod requires Fabric Loader and Fabric API on Fabric, and it is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so the source code is open and the issue tracker is public.
Builds cover 1.19 – 1.20.4, with six release versions in that range: 1.19, 1.19.1, 1.19.2, 1.19.3, 1.19.4 and 1.20.4. Development is recorded on the public source code and issue tracker.
Key features
Compact world list
The world selection screen shows its entries in a tighter layout, so more saved worlds fit on one page.
Compact resource pack list
The resource pack menu uses less space per entry, making long pack lists easier to scroll through.
Compact server list
The multiplayer server list is condensed, so more servers are visible without scrolling.
Vanilla UI compression
Compression applies to the vanilla interface parts it targets, and the rest of the menus keep their default layout.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who keep large lists of worlds, resource packs or servers and want those menus to show more entries at once. Players on Fabric or Forge who prefer a denser menu layout will find it suited to this purpose.
