macinterface
by kiklomin
macinterface brings a macOS-inspired desktop interface to the Minecraft title screen, with a magnified dock and a control center.
What it does
On the title screen, the mod replaces the standard menu with a sleek interface modeled on macOS. A smooth floating dock enlarges icons as the cursor approaches them, shows tooltips on hover and marks active applications. A top bar holds an Apple-style action menu, a live clock and status icons.
A slide-down glass panel works as a control center. It holds a master volume slider, a display mode switcher and player controls that skip tracks, with the current track title and sound category shown in real time. Text is localized through standard Minecraft language files and includes English out of the box, with no hardcoded strings.
Installation requires Fabric Loader for Minecraft 1.20.1 and Fabric API in the mods folder. The mod is published for Fabric and Forge, both for 1.20.1, and runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Magnified dock
A floating dock scales its icons with cursor proximity and shows tooltips and active app indicators on hover.
Menu bar system tray
A top bar offers an Apple-style action menu, a real-time clock and status icons for quick access.
Control center
A slide-down glass widget gives instant access to a live master volume slider and the display mode switcher.
Player controls
From the control center, a player can move to the next or previous track, and the panel shows each track's title in real time alongside the sound category.

How it compares
MCC Icon is a client-side mod for Fabric and Quilt, covering 1.20.1 – 1.20.2, released under the MIT License and open source. DarkTitleBarForge is a client-side Forge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4, also MIT licensed and open source, but it only restyles the window title bar rather than the title screen. MacOS Startup is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.21 – 1.21.11, MIT licensed and not open source, so it targets a later version range than this mod.
