About this Mod

the menu never looked better than 1.7.3

this mod is a pixel-perfect and detail-oriented recreation of that menu, going beyond a simple texture swap.

authentic visual resources from mojang
only the music from 1.7.3
version-accurate yellow bouncing toast text (microsoft have binned a lot)
button layout restored and microsoft buttons removed

the mod currently supports the NeoForge 'Mods' button and Iris + Optifine 'Shaders' in the new layout, works with sodium video settings changes such as the new sodium, and reeses options.
