Installation
The mod supports Forge and Fabric (*) mod loaders. Follow either mod loader's installation guide, then download the mod file for your Minecraft version and mod loader, and install it into the .minecraft/mods folder.
(*) Fabric API is not required.
Configuration
Run the game once to create the configuration file. By default, the window title will be set to Minecraft <version>. Unlike in vanilla 1.15.2 onwards, the title will not change when you enter a world/server.
To change the title or icon, navigate to the .minecraft/config folder, and open customwindowtitle-client.toml in a text editor. You will see the following entries:
title = 'Minecraft {mcversion}'
icon16 = ''
icon32 = ''
Only edit text inside quotes or apostrophes.
Changing the Title
You can use the following special tokens in the title configuration entry:
- {mcversion} - current Minecraft version
- {modversion:modid} - version of installed mod with the identifier modid
If any of the tokens aren't working, search the game log for CustomWindowTitle and you should see the reason, otherwise please file an issue on the issue tracker with as many details as possible.
Changing the Icon
You must create two PNG images with sizes 16x16 and 32x32 pixels. The images must be saved with transparency even if they don't use it, otherwise the icons will appear corrupted. In Krita for example, you must check Store alpha channel (transparency) when saving the image.
The icon16 and icon32 configuration entries point to the PNG files relative to the .minecraft/config folder. For example, if you place the two icons in a folder named customwindowtitle as follows:
- .minecraft/config/customwindowtitle-client.toml
- .minecraft/config/customwindowtitle/icon16.png
- .minecraft/config/customwindowtitle/icon32.png
Then, the two icon entries should look like this:
icon16 = 'customwindowtitle/icon16.png'
icon32 = 'customwindowtitle/icon32.png'
Custom icons require Custom Window Title 1.1.0 or newer.
Screenshots
These screenshots were taken using the following example configuration:
title = "Minecraft {mcversion} - Custom Window Title {modversion:customwindowtitle}"
need something like this for 1.19
does this work on 1.19?
Do you think you can add title bar color customization ? I'd like to have a dark title bar on Windows 10+, and even better, it would change color depending on the system theme (light/dark).
In reply to Pompafrik:
I have no idea how that works on Win 10. If it's possible, the source is open so someone can PR it or make their own version that supports this.
In reply to chylex:
I might fork it and keep it up to date starting with 1.18.2 for Fabric and Quilt, I noticed it doesn't have a licence like MIT or GNU but it doesn't have a licence so I can fork it and change the licence to the MIT one and later on as soon as it is ready I will post it on CurseForge and Modrinth if that's ok with you

It's public domain, so do whatever you want.
In reply to chylex:
Perfect I will make it great
I tested the mod out and it functions well, however I want a way of changing the window title without needing mods. I was hoping that someone could direct me to the .class file in Fabric that sets the window title. Thanks in advance.
In reply to RedDotRobot:
If you need someone to tell you, you shouldn't be editing .class files or .jar files or whatever you're trying to do.
In reply to chylex:
I have safely decompiled the files using VS code and tested it. I have had minimal data loss and changing one string should not have any negative effects on my game.
Hello! could you please add a tag for 1.16.5? I would love to use this in my modpack. I tried it and it still works for 1.16.5
In reply to Drebledore:
Added.
Thx and please make icon suport for 1.12
Pls make an 1.1.0 Version for 1.12! It sucks to make it only available for 1.16. I want Icon support for 1.12!
In reply to SparkleArts:
I know this is a late reply, but use "It's the Little Things" mod if you want icon support. That mod supports icon from versions 1.6.4+ (And yes, I meant 1.6.4)
https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/its-the-little-things
you can make a version for snapshots.
The icon has not changed in 1.16.4! and it gives an error, the game does not open! plss help. The mod version I am using is 1.1.0
Is there a chance this mod could have a 1.16.4 tag applied to it? It doesn't show up on Twitch Launcher currently, which makes it hard to put into 1.16.4 packs.

Fixed.
actually, is there a way to detect the user and put it into the text
