Description
This small client side mod allows you to change the boring old dirt background of your minecraft menu to something nicer.
Usage
When you first install the mod on your client it will be in random mode. It will randomly select a background out of a pool from blocks i found looked quite nice as backgrounds.
You can also specify your own background in the config file (Fixed-Background), it takes a Resource Location. For example "textures/blocks/stone.png" will be stone and "textures/blocks/bedrock.png" will be bedrock. If you open up your minecraft.jar in a zip program you can see all the names of the vanilla minecraft textures.
This also works for blocks (/textures) from other mods, just open up the mod jar in a zip program and locate the texture you wanna use in their assets folder and stick "modid:" in front of it. For example "mineralogy:textures/blocks/drywall_yellow.png" will use the yellow drywall texture from Mineralogy.
If you wanna use your own texture you can add that using resource packs or with Resource Loader (easier).
Some possible examples:
Feel free to use this mod in any modpack
From what I have read, if the mod author correctly marks the mod as "Client Only" in the jar, the server will not load it. I have seen several mods that are intended only for the client do this, and the server then ignores them entirely.
I believe this is a new addition into the Forge system since 1.10.2 came out.
Will you make a version for 1.7?
Random Things contains this feature in 1.7.10.
can you give me a link for the instructions?
I'm doing modpack and I don't thing Random Things is good for it.
You can disable everything except this if you so desire.
Ok but how? And why are you doing new mod what adds this if Random Things haves this option. I don't understand...
In the Random Things config file. And i did that because in 1.8 it does not contain this anymore :P.
Ok thanks so much. I feel weird now because random things is...
I don't know how to say it but I still think this mod wants be 1.7.10.
Is There A 1.7.10 Version?
Is it possible to add our own backgrounds to a randomized list instead of a single background? It would be nice to have a folder with images named item1, item2, etc, and have one chosen at random like the default setting.
I seem to get some flicker with the mod when I hover to see tooltops: http://i.gyazo.com/55ded49decabda059a5887b24e18f219.gif
question, in case I missed it from the short explanations above, can I use other images besides minecraft blocks?
Yes, using resource loader you can use your own one.
i tried using my own picture with resource loader but it turned into a missing texture
Could you post your folder structure & your log & what you set in the config file please?

In 1.7.10 Random Things has this feature.
Could you also do a 1.7 version of this mod as well please ?? I want to include all your mods in my mod pack If I can . Thanx -CRUNK
Plz make it anyway. I think it would be helpful for modpack authors to be able to do this even if they don't want Random THings in their pack. I personally am making an absolute all-magic pack, and want to customize it with this sort of stuff.
