Sword Art Onmine : Beginning
by Yoplay
Sword Art Onmine : Beginning is a Forge overhaul for Minecraft 1.20.1 that reshapes the interface around the Sword Art Online anime, from the HUD to the menus.
What it does
The overhaul replaces the default interface with elements taken from Sword Art Online. The standard hearts row gives way to a high-definition health bar anchored in the upper-left part of the display. The bar changes color as health drops, and a configurable HUD scale, offset and visibility options control where each element appears. The title screen gains extra buttons, and menus, items, commands and chat messages use English titles such as Beginner, Warrior and Beater.
The death screen is replaced with a hexagonal Dead prompt over a red filter, and a single click anywhere on the screen respawns the player at once. Toast notifications, an XP popup and a level-up animation appear during play, and each can be switched off on its own. Players and server owners can tune XP gain per kill, duel distance and timeouts, party XP sharing, and the thresholds used for orange cursor PK marking.
The mod is distributed for Forge only, with the latest build 3.7.5 for 1.20.1 released on 2026-09-06. It runs on the client alone, so servers need nothing installed. The code is not open source and is licensed as All rights reserved by Yoplay.

What the author says
All text translated to English — titles ("Beginner", "Warrior", "Beater"...), menus, items, commands, chat messages, death screen, toast notifications. GUIs scaled down — The HUD now uses a configurable hudScale (default 0.75 = 25% smaller). The SAO menu and stats screen render at 0.85x scale. More compact and less…
