Arkea

A complete interface overhaul and modern UI engine for Minecraft.

Overview

Arkea reimagines Minecraft's user interface from the ground up.

Every menu is modernized with fluid entrance animations, smooth sliders, and unified theme colors. In-game, Arkea provides customizable HUD styles with animated health and hunger meters, item feedback feeds, and comprehensive inspection tools. Furthermore, Arkea functions as an open UI library: any mod using NeoForge configuration automatically receives a consistent Arkea settings window.

Key Highlights

• 🌟 Redesigned Menus: Title screen with "Jump back in" world cards, comprehensive singleplayer world management with backups, multiplayer server browser, and responsive loading screens.
• ⚙️ Unified Options Window: Fluid sidebar navigation, global search across all options, conflict-free keybinding management, and live preset switching.
• 🎬 Custom Video & GIF Backgrounds: Replace the vanilla rotating panorama with your own MP4, MOV, GIF, or image backgrounds with zero gameplay performance cost.
• 🎯 Four Customizable HUD Styles:
  • Vanilla: Untouched classic HUD.
  • Compact: Sleek corner status bars with numeric indicators.
  • Classic+: Vanilla icons placed on translucent modern plates.
  • Minimal: Subtle status bars that fade away when full.
• ⚡ Integrated In-Game QoL:
  • Target info card (block/mob inspection, harvestability, crop growth).
  • Food restoration & saturation preview.
  • Item pickup feed and low durability alerts.
  • Directional damage arcs and death point compass.
  • Interactive item tooltips (durability bars & shulker grid previews).
• 💬 Modernized Chat: Crisp typography, sender player heads, smooth line-by-line scrolling, and dedicated input box positioning.
• 🔍 Clean Debug Screen: F3 overlay rendered as compact cards using the clean Inter font.
• ⌨️ Command Palette (Ctrl + K): Jump to any setting, screen, or recent world instantly.
