Gothic Main Menu
by SquareQuest
Gothic Main Menu replaces the title screen of Minecraft 1.12.2 with a menu styled after the cult Gothic game series, so the atmosphere of that world is present from the first launch.
What it does
Gothic Main Menu is a Forge mod for 1.12.2 that changes only the main menu. The design draws on the Gothic games, and the mod is meant to give players a sense of that world's mood from the moment the game opens. Because it touches only the title screen, gameplay, worlds and other mods are left as they are.
The mod requires Custom Main Menu to be installed, since that mod provides the means to load a custom title screen. A mainmenu.json file prepared by the team is also needed; it is distributed separately from the mod. Setup involves installing both mods, starting Minecraft once so a CustomMainMenu folder is generated in the instance's config directory, and replacing the generated mainmenu.json with the team's file.
The Gothic Main Menu is one component of the wider Gothic Minecraft Adventure effort, which the SquareQuest team took on. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy.
Key features
Gothic-styled title screen
The main menu is redesigned to look like a menu from the Gothic game series, replacing the default vanilla title screen.
Custom Main Menu integration
The title screen is loaded through Custom Main Menu, which reads a mainmenu.json file from the instance config folder.
Replaceable menu layout
The layout comes from a separate mainmenu.json file, which can be swapped for the one the team provides.
Part of a larger project
The menu is the first piece of Gothic Minecraft Adventure, a larger project by the SquareQuest team.

Use cases
Themed modpacks
Modpack authors who build a Gothic-themed pack can use the menu so the first screen matches the rest of the content.
Solo play in a Gothic mood
A single player who wants the Gothic atmosphere from the first launch can install the menu on a client alone.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players and modpack builders who want a Gothic-themed title screen on Minecraft 1.12.2 with Forge. It requires setup steps beyond a normal install, so it fits players comfortable editing a config folder.
