Overview

Cumulus is a library for building custom title-screen and main-menu layouts in Minecraft. It provides a flexible menu framework that lets mods define alternative main menus, backgrounds, panorama scenes, and layouts, and lets players choose which menu they want from the options screen.

Cumulus is a dependency library with no player-facing content of its own - it adds no blocks, items, or gameplay. It only does something when a mod uses it to register a custom menu. Its mod id is cumulus_menus.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Cumulus Mod actually do?
It acts as a background tool that gives other mods the parts to build custom title screens, buttons, and panoramas. It doesn't add anything on its own.
Does Cumulus add any blocks, items, or creatures?
No, it adds no blocks, items, or creatures to your world. It runs quietly in the background and keeps your survival game clean.
Can I change which main menu I see?
Yes, you can switch between different main menu layouts using the in-game options. This lets you pick which menu screen you want to see.
Do I need Cumulus by itself?
No, it's only needed when another mod, like the Aether series, asks for it to work. On its own it doesn't do much for the player.
