About the Simple Menu mod

Simple Menu provides an alternative to other extensive main menu editors. I needed more basic functionality that was quickly released after each Minecraft update for my The Vanilla Experience modpack. It's however highly configurable and might be what you need as well. Intentionally kept simple. If you'd like more control, I recommend using FancyMenu.

It can: • Set a custom window title and icon. • Replace the Minecraft logo on the main menu. • Set a custom background. • Hide the Minecraft Realms button. • Create a server hosting promo button with a clickable link. • Hide the splash texts next to the logo. • Remove the experimental warning text from mod loaders. • Remove the text in the bottom left.

All available config options:

Show Spoiler

setCustomWindowTitle default false Whether a custom window title should be set. Uses the value set in 'customWindowTitle'.

customWindowTitle default "Custom Window Title" The custom window title that's used when 'setCustomWindowTitle' is enabled.

setCustomWindowIcon default false If a custom window icon should be set. Two files are needed. Both in PNG format. One a 16 pixel square called 'icon_16x16.png', and one a 32 pixel square called 'icon_32x32.png'. Located in './config/simplemenu/icon'.

replaceMainMenuLogo default false If a custom main menu logo should be rendered. This will replace the 'Minecraft' text. A 'logo.png' file is needed. Located in './config/simplemenu/logo'. By default the image dimensions are 1024x256. To remove it completely, use an empty .png file.

replaceMainMenuEditionLogo default false If a custom main menu 'edition' logo should be rendered. This will replace the 'Java Edition' text. An 'edition.png' file is needed. Located in './config/simplemenu/logo'. By default the image dimensions are 512x64. To remove it completely, use an empty .png file.

setCustomBackground default false If a custom background should be rendered. A 'background.png' file is needed. Located in './config/simplemenu/background/'.

hideMinecraftRealmsButton default false If the Minecraft Realms button should be hidden from the main menu.

expandModsButton default false Whether the Mods button's width should be expanded to match the singleplayer button width. Can be useful with 'hideMinecraftRealmsButton' disabled. Only applicable for Forge and NeoForge.

enableServerPromoButton default false Whether the Minecraft Realms button should be replaced by a serverhosting promo button.

serverPromoButtonTextDefault default "Need a Server?" The default server promo button text.

serverPromoButtonTextOnHover default "Use code PROMO for 25% off" The server promo button text shown when hovering it.

serverPromoButtonClickURL default "https://localhost/exampleurl" The URL that's being navigated to when clicking the server promo button.

Manually
