by MisterCheezeCake

What it does

The mod removes the blur drawn over the background of game menus and the pause screen, and it lets players customize the menu background. A toggle restores the older background look, and a color option tints it. It is client-side only, so servers do not need it and players join without installing it. Builds cover 1.20.6 – 1.21.11 on Fabric, released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, and the code is open source. Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib are required, and Mod Menu is optional for opening the settings screen.

What the author says

NoMenuBlur is a clientside mod that allows you to disable the blur effect in the pause menu that was added in 1.21. The mod also allows you to restore the old in game background, and customize the color of that background. There is also an option to use the new background but without the blur.
