What it does

The mod replaces the solid black tab background on the create world screen with a semi-transparent black color. This lets a background image stay visible behind the tabs instead of being hidden. It works with other mods that use the tab navigation widget.

Key features

  1. Transparent tab background

    A semi-transparent black fill replaces the fully black tab bar on the create world screen.

  2. Background image stays visible

    A background image behind the tabs remains visible through the translucent panel.

  3. Works with tab navigation mods

    Other mods that rely on the tab navigation widget continue to function alongside it.
