GUI Crafter
GUI Crafter lets players build their own Minecraft interface from preset icons, backgrounds, borders and slot designs, with a live preview before applying.
What it does
The mod changes the look of the game's screens and HUD. Players pick a background pattern shown behind each screen, a border framing the screen, a design for item slots and the hotbar, and an XP bar style, then set the colours of the health, armour and hunger icons and the crosshair. Changes appear in a live preview inside the game, and a choice is applied with the Apply button.
The catalog entry covers a single Fabric build for 26.2, released as All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. Fabric API is required and must be installed alongside GUI Crafter. It runs on the client only, so players need it, while servers can run without it. Options are opened through the game's Controls menu, where the key bound to the GUI Crafter entry opens the editor.
Key features
Preset icon shapes
173 icon shapes replace the health, armour and hunger symbols, from hearts and bones to cookies, cats and planets.
Background and border patterns
120 tileable background patterns and 96 frames can be placed behind the screen and around it.
Item slot designs
78 slot designs are available, including transparent ones that let the background pattern run straight through the grid.
Colour presets
52 ready-made colour presets cover the icons, crosshair and screen elements, so a full colour set can be chosen in one click.

Use cases
Themed survival setups
Players who want a holiday or seasonal look can pair snowflake or pumpkin icons with matching backgrounds and borders.
Streams and recordings
Creators who want the HUD and crosshair to match a theme can change them in the editor and keep the preview visible while adjusting.
Who it’s for: Players who want a different look for the in-game HUD and screens without editing resource packs by hand. The editor works on the client, so it suits single-player worlds and multiplayer clients alike.
