OldMenu

by RaiseEvent200

OldMenu restores the compact title, pause and main-menu layouts from earlier Minecraft Java Edition builds, and it is a Fabric mod that only the client needs.

What it does

Installing the mod brings back the classic main-menu layout and a two-column pause menu, the arrangement players knew before the newer redesign. The Friends icon stays beside Minecraft Realms, and buttons that a server supplies for its pause menu are kept in place. Positions for Language Options, Quit and Accessibility return to their earlier spots, and the mod supports Mod Menu.

Only the client needs OldMenu, so players join servers without installing anything on the server side. The mod is published for Fabric alone, with a single release, 1.1.0 for 26.3, dated 2026-10-05. Files exist for 26.2 and 26.3, and the mod is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.
