WEScreens
by vynull
WEScreens lets players build custom in-game menus, dialogs and information screens with a visual editor, without writing Java code.
What it does
A visual GUI editor runs inside the game. Interfaces are designed by dragging elements onto a screen, moving and resizing them, and locking an element so it cannot be shifted by accident. Layouts can be as simple as one menu or as involved as a multi-tab screen, and real-time information can be shown inside them. Completed screens can be saved and opened instantly with commands, and the mod provides two commands for creating and managing custom interfaces.
WEScreens is suited to modpacks, adventure maps and servers that need menus for shops, quest windows or server information. It is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 only, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Its first file was published on 2026-07-03 and the latest is 1.0.1 for 1.20.1 from 2026-07-10, on the beta channel, so the mod is still developing and may contain bugs, unfinished features and unexpected behavior. The author states that world data stays compatible between versions, while some features may change in future updates.
Key features

Use cases

How it compares
CustomPanelGUI is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 that is client-side only and released under All rights reserved. Smooth GUI Animations is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.10 that is also client-side only and released under All rights reserved. WEScreens differs from both by running on client and server and by letting screens be built in-game with an editor rather than installed as fixed panels or animations.
