MenuСanvas
by AnweraDev
MenuCanvas, a Fabric client mod, swaps the rotating title screen panorama for a wallpaper picked by the player, with a compact button placed in the upper right of the title screen.
What it does
Players can replace the vanilla rotating panorama on the title screen with an image they pick. A wallpaper can be blurred, with a separate on/off switch and a 0–100% strength slider, and a darkening slider keeps menu text readable over bright images. Ten wallpapers are bundled, and any picture saved on the computer can be loaded through the native file dialog or by dropping files into the menucanvas folder. Supported formats are PNG, JPG/JPEG, BMP and TGA.
A small button in the top right of the title screen opens the picker in one click. The button can be hidden from the main menu settings. The mod is client-side only, so the server and other players need nothing installed. It requires Fabric API, and Mod Menu is optional. Builds exist for Fabric across nine release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.21.11, released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want to personalize the title screen of Minecraft Java Edition with their own images. Because the mod is client-side only, it suits single-player players and anyone joining multiplayer servers without installing server-side content.
How it compares
Panorium runs on Fabric as a client-side mod for 26.1 – 26.2, under the MIT License, and is not open source. Multiplayer Button is also client-side on Fabric, open source under the MIT License, and covers 1.16 – 1.20.1, so it adds a server button rather than replacing the background. Daily Menu Panoramas is a client-side Fabric option for 1.21.5 – 1.21.11, open source under the MIT License.
