CustomWallpaper
CustomWallpaper lets players replace the default background of the Minecraft title screen with an image of their choice, on the title, singleplayer, multiplayer and settings screens.
What it does
Once installed, the mod gives access to a wallpaper menu that applies to the main title screen and its related menus, including singleplayer, multiplayer and settings. A player opens the menu with the semicolon key, selects an image file, and the image becomes the background. Images are meant for a 16:9 aspect ratio, which gives the strongest visual fit, and the mod supports 1080p Full HD and 4K sources.
The mod is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.11. It requires Fabric API for the same version, and it is installed by placing it in the mods folder alongside Fabric API. Launching the game once generates a configuration folder. The mod runs on the client only, so players can use it in single-player and multiplayer without any server-side installation. CustomWallpaper is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
