Xenara: Nexus UI

A complete menu makeover: a huge MINECRAFT logo over a fading slideshow of your own worlds, a film-reel world picker, and sleek glass-style Options, Mods and settings pages.



Xenara: Nexus UI

Give Minecraft's menus the makeover they deserve.

Xenara: Nexus UI restyles the whole menu side of Minecraft: the title screen, world selection, Options, the Mods list and the settings pages. It's all done in one clean see-through glass style. Every button still does exactly what it did before; it just looks a lot better doing it.


✨ The Title Screen

  • A huge MINECRAFT logo across the middle of the screen
  • A living slideshow background: beautiful pictures that slowly zoom and cross-fade into each other
  • Your own worlds as the backdrop: while you play, the mod quietly takes scenic shots (no hand, no HUD) and adds them to the slideshow
  • Click to jump straight in: the world name shown on each picture is clickable and loads that world (or joins that server) instantly
  • Sleek glass buttons with a soft gold glow when you hover
  • Version info tidied away, small and centred above the menu
  • Add your own backgrounds by dropping pictures into the backgrounds folder

🎞️ World Reel: a Better Select World Screen

The plain world list becomes a film reel of full-size world pictures. Roll left and right with the arrows, mouse wheel or arrow keys, and see each world's name, last-played date and game mode in big bold text. Pictures update automatically as you play.

⚙️ Options, Reimagined

  • The Options screen becomes a set of picture tiles: Video Settings, Music & Sounds, Controls, Skin Customisation, Resource Packs, Language and more
  • Quick settings (FOV, difficulty) sit in their own strip at the top
  • Every settings page restyled to match: Video, Sound, Controls, Key Binds, Chat, Accessibility, Resource Packs, Language, Telemetry, Credits & Attribution and more

🧩 A Nicer Mods Screen

  • Mod cards with logos, a search box and filters
  • A detailed info panel for each mod, with description, authors, licence and links
  • Configure button still works, so each mod's own settings open as normal

🌍 Everything Else Matches Too

  • Create New World (all its tabs), Game Rules and Experiments
  • Multiplayer, Add/Edit Server, Direct Connect and the multiplayer warning screen
  • Loading, saving and confirmation screens
  • Embeddium / Sodium and Oculus / Iris settings pages

📦 Versions

Minecraft Loader
1.20.1 Forge, Fabric
1.21.1 NeoForge, Fabric
26.3 NeoForge, Fabric
  • Mod Menu is optional: with it, the restyled Mods screen replaces Mod Menu's list, and Configure opens each mod's settings.
  • Realms: the Realms button is hidden on 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and shown on 26.3.
  • Client-side only. Install it on your own game; servers don't need it.

🔧 Settings

Everything can be switched on or off in config/xenaranexusui/settings.properties:

  • the slideshow and its timings
  • scenic shots
  • World Reel
  • the Mods, Options and settings-page restyles
  • picture names
  • the Realms button
