Better Title Screen Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I change the text on the Minecraft title screen?
Open the .minecraft/config folder, find bettertitlescreen.cfg, and open it with a text editor like Notepad. Edit the value after S:Text and save the file, then restart the game to see your new text.
Where is the bettertitlescreen.cfg file located?
It sits inside the config folder in your .minecraft directory, alongside other mod config files. If you use a launcher with a custom game directory, look in that instance's config folder instead.
How do I add colors to my title screen text?
Put a section symbol (§) followed by a color code before each letter or word you want colored, like §4 for dark red or §6 for gold. The default text shows this pattern with each letter using a different code.
What are the color codes I can use in the config?
The mod uses the standard Minecraft formatting codes, where § is followed by a letter or number for each color. You can also use formatting codes for bold, italic, and other styles alongside colors.
How do I hide the Forge version, game version, and mod count?
In bettertitlescreen.cfg, find the options for hiding version info and mod count and set them to true. Once enabled, those lines disappear from the bottom-left corner of the title screen.
Can I hide just the mod count but keep the game version?
Yes, the hide options are separate in the config, so you can toggle each piece of information independently. Set only the mod count option to true and leave the version options alone.
My custom text isn't showing up on the title screen, what did I do wrong?
Make sure you saved the config file after editing and fully restarted Minecraft rather than just returning to the title screen. Also check that your text is inside the S:Text line and that you didn't accidentally delete the quotes or the S:Text prefix.
How do I reset the title screen text back to the default?
Replace the S:Text value with the default Better Title Screen text shown at the top of the config, or simply delete the config file and let the mod regenerate it. Restart the game afterward to confirm the default text is back.
Does this mod work with Forge, Fabric, or both?
The mod is built for Forge and targets the title screen's version and mod count display, which are Forge features. Check the mod's download page for the specific loader and game version you're running before installing.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
No, it's a very small mod that only changes text rendering on the title screen, so it has no noticeable impact on performance. It's safe to include in modpacks without worrying about frame rates.
