Menu Themes

Added

• Per-menu backdrop controls under Scene → Choose menus…. Each menu can Inherit, Show scene, or use its Original background. Original background keeps the menu’s own backdrop while its supported buttons and panels can still use the theme.
• Menu groups for the main menu, pause menu, UIQuest / FTB Quests, player inventory, chests and barrels, all containers, world loading, and other menus.
• Individual screen overrides. Open a menu and press F8 to find its Current menu entry. Recently opened menus also appear in the list. Individual rules take priority over group rules, and standard chests and barrels can have separate settings.
• Backdrop rules are saved with the theme and included in shared presets and Studio projects. Older configurations keep their existing All menus behavior.

Compatibility

• Hands-On Delight keeps its original in-world view, including when All menus is enabled.
• ReplayMod and ReForgedPlay keep their native viewer and playback controls. The Menu Themes button leaves room for Replay’s optional top-left launcher.
• Verified the Replay Viewer on all three builds, play/pause in a recorded Forge replay, UIQuest’s backdrop choices on NeoForge, and a real Hands-On Delight cooking pot on Forge. Fabric produced a recording and logged a legacy protocol initialization error. Replay video export remains unverified.

Background media

• Added native playback for looping GIF backgrounds, with support for frame timing and transparency.
• Added muted, looping video backgrounds for MP4, M4V, WebM, MOV, and MKV through FFmpeg. APNG is also supported through FFmpeg, including animated files named .png.
• Added a media picker with drag-and-drop import, full-path import, live preview, and a shortcut to the asset folder. Files can also be dropped directly onto the Scene tab.
• Added pause and resume, adjustable video frame rate and resolution, and reduced-motion support. The default video settings are 24 FPS and a 720p cap.
• Existing fit, zoom, focus, dimming, tint, vignette, and loading-screen settings work with animated media.
• Added Scene → FFmpeg settings… for choosing a local executable. Still images and GIFs work without FFmpeg.

Button images and sharing

• Added a global PNG or JPEG image for supported themed buttons and a per-button image override in Advanced Theme Studio.
• Button images clip to the selected shape and any scissor cuts. Transparent areas show the button underneath, and labels, hover effects, artwork, and click actions stay usable.
• Added JPEG import with conversion to PNG. Complete Studio project ZIPs now carry referenced videos, animations, and global or individual button images.
• Existing presets, Studio projects, and the 1.4.1 input compatibility fixes carry forward.
