FabricClient-side onlyGNU General Public License v3.0 or laterOpen source1.20 – 1.21.5

What it does

The mod changes only the title bar of the Minecraft window on Windows. It follows the system color setting, so the title bar turns dark only when Windows is already set to dark mode. Nothing else in the game is altered, and the mod does not need Fabric API to run.

Only the client needs the mod, so players install it while servers can run without it. It is published for Fabric alone, with files for 1.20 – 1.21.5 and 1.3 for 1.21.5 as the latest file. The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and it is open source.

Key features

  1. Dark title bar

    The window title bar is drawn in a dark style on supported Windows builds.

  2. Follows system setting

    The dark style applies only when Windows is in dark mode, so the window matches the rest of the desktop.

  3. No extra dependencies

    The mod runs without Fabric API, with a single client-side file to install.
