Boring Backgrounds

Boring Backgrounds

Boring Background is a mod that allows for changing dirt background with another texture. You can simply change to a single texture, use a weighted list of textures, and even make it change every time the screen is changed!

Part of the Boring series. Don’t forget to check out Boring Default Game Rules and Damage Incorporated!

Dependencies

This mod requires Minecraft 1.19+ and the Quilt Standard Libraries.

Configuration

There are two ways to configure this mod: through a resource pack, or through the global config folder.

The config format is shared by both methods, and can be seen below:

{
    // A map of texture identifiers and its weight. A bigger weight means more chances to be chosen over the others.
    "textures": {
        "minecraft:textures/gui/options_background.png": 1
    },
    // If this is enabled, a new background is chosen if a screen is opened, else, it's only chosen after a texture reload.
    "randomize_on_new_screen": false
}

If you want to configure the mod through a resource pack, create the file at the path assets/boring_backgrounds/backgrounds/background_settings.json.

If you want to use a global config file, the path is .minecraft/config/boring_backgrounds.json. Keep in mind that it will override any resource pack-provided settings.

If you want to reload the settings, you may do so through F3 + T. This is due to the configuration being handled by a resource reloader.
