Menu Modpacks Guide (v0.4):
Menu modpacks allow you to customize the appearance and sounds of the game's menu and UI. You can change background elements, the look of the buttons, and the sound effects while navigating the menu.
Structure
Menu modpacks are stored in the "packs_menu" folder within the game directory. To create a new pack, you can either create a new folder within "packs_menu", or you can get started with the "Add New Pack" button in the in-game Customization Menu. When you create a new menu modpack in-game, it creates a new pack that has all the default values (except for the music).
Please be aware that the file structure of menu modpacks is expected to change significantly in v0.5
Customization Options
Background Layers
Several built-in elements exist for the main menu:
- Top Gradient
- Bottom Gradient
- Animated circles
- Waves
- Letterbox
Each of these elements can be toggled on or off, and have the option to change their color
Background Images
Up to two images can be used for the background:
- Background Image: In your menu modpack, the game looks for an image named "background". Supported image formats are PNG, JPG, and WEBP, in that order. If no image with this name is found, the default background is used.
- Scrolling: The background image can scroll across the screen. You can choose the scrolling speed on Page 2 of the Menu Customization in-game.
- Fit: Alternatively, the background image can be stretched to fit the game window.
- Overlay Image: This is an optional second image. The game look for an image named "overlay" in your menu modpack, and if it exists, will add it over the background image. The overlay is automatically stretched to fit the game window. You can add a custom border or image by using the overlay. If the overlay image lacks transparency, it will block the background image.
