What it does

MenuCanvas adds a small button in the top right corner of the Minecraft title screen. One click opens a picker where you can replace the rotating vanilla panorama with any image you want — either one of the ten wallpapers bundled with the mod, or your own picture loaded from your computer.

Features

  • Small, unobtrusive button in the top right of the main menu — it can be hidden entirely in the settings
  • Built-in library of 10 wallpapers — 5 in a blocky Minecraft style (plains at sunset, amethyst geode, nether fortress, End islands, cherry grove) and 5 in other styles (aurora peaks, neon city, deep space, gradient waves, a cosy lo-fi room)
  • Upload your own images through a native file dialog, or just drop files into the menucanvas folder
  • Supported formats: PNG, JPG/JPEG, BMP, TGA
  • Blur — a separate on/off toggle plus a 0–100% strength slider
  • Darkening slider so the menu text stays readable over bright wallpapers
  • Fit modes: Cover, Contain, Stretch, Tile
  • Smoothing toggle — turn it off for crisp pixel art
  • Optional slow pan (Ken Burns effect) and a fade-in when the menu opens
  • Scrollable gallery with live previews of every background
  • English and Russian translations

How to use

  1. Launch the game and look at the top right of the title screen — there is a small picture icon.
  2. Click it to open MenuCanvas.
  3. Pick any tile in the gallery to apply it instantly. The first tile restores the default panorama.
  4. Press Upload image... to choose a file from your computer, or Open folder and drop images into .minecraft/menucanvas/, then press Refresh library.
  5. Toggle Blur and drag the slider to taste.

Settings are also reachable through Mod Menu, and are saved to .minecraft/config/menucanvas.json.

Requirements

  • Minecraft 1.21.11
  • Fabric Loader 0.19.3 or newer
  • Fabric API — required
  • Mod Menu — optional, adds a settings entry in the mod list

Good to know

  • This mod is client side only. It changes nothing about gameplay and works on any server, including vanilla ones.
  • Images larger than 4096 px on a side are automatically downscaled so they do not eat video memory.
  • Blur is generated once per image and cached, so it does not cost frames while the menu is open.
  • Your own images are never uploaded anywhere — they are copied into your .minecraft/menucanvas/ folder and stay on your machine.
