Mod Menu Stylizer
by deftu
Mod Menu Stylizer lets players replace the icons and badges that Mod Menu shows next to each installed mod.
What it does
A custom icon is set by placing a square PNG in the mod's folder and naming the file after the target mod's ID, so the image replaces the default icon on the Mod Menu list. Each icon is linked to its mod through a JSON file that carries the same ID, which lets the outline and other styling be set per mod.
The mod is client-side only: a server does not need it, and players can add it alone to restyle the menu on their own game. Mod Menu, Fabric Language Kotlin and Textile are required, and the code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later. Files are published for Fabric, for game versions 1.16.5 – 1.21, with 0.1.1+1.21-fabric for 1.21 as the latest build.
Public links for the source code and issue tracker are available. The first build and the latest update both date from 2024-06-30.
Key features
Custom mod icons
Any installed mod's icon in the Mod Menu list can be swapped for a custom image.
Badges on icons
Badges can be added to a mod's icon so that it stands out in the list.
Per-mod JSON settings
A JSON file named after the mod's ID holds the styling for that mod's icon and badge.
Optional outline color
An outline color can be set for each icon, and when it is left out a default color applies.
Color format options
Colors can be written as objects with red, green and blue fields, or as a single RGB integer.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want a different look for the Mod Menu list, and modpack authors who need icons matching a pack's theme. Because it is client-side only, the server does not need it.

Ensure that your new icon is square-shaped and is a PNG file. Replacing a mod's icon is as simple as placing the file in Deftu/ModMenuStylizer and renaming it to the mod's ID. For example, if I wanted to replace the icon for the mod craftpresence with my image called icon.png, I would simply put icon.png in…
