How do you add custom fonts?

Put your font image in config/animated_menu_fonts/. The file must be .png and it must be exactly 128×128 pixels.

Can I use ttf or otf fonts?

By default, the mod does not load .ttf or .otf files. However, If you install All Fonts, those formats will work without any issues. Place them in the same directory as the .png fonts (config/animated_menu_fonts/).

How do I add custom background panoramas?

Each panorama requires 6 pngs in a folder (They function the same way as they do in texturepacks in the newer version of the game). Name your folder the desired panorama name and place it in the config/animated_menu_panoramas directory.

How do I add custom cursors?

Place your cursor in config/animated_menu/. No strict size is required, but the mod will only load valid .png files. The size of the cursor auto-scales to the runtime cursor size.

Cursor recommendations:

• Use a square PNG (32×32 or 64×64 looks best)
• Keep transparent background
• The click hotspot is auto-picked from the first visible pixel (alpha >= 32) scanning top-left to bottom-right, so design the pointer tip accordingly
