Minecraft's settings menus work fine, but they could work better — and that's exactly the gap YUNG's Menu Tweaks Mod fills. This lightweight quality-of-life mod rethinks how players interact with cycle buttons, sliders, and even the classic dirt background texture, making everyday menu navigation noticeably smoother. With over 4.2 million downloads on Modrinth and support across Forge, Fabric, NeoForge, and Quilt, it has quickly become a staple in many modded setups.
Key Features
- Right-Click Cycle Buttons — Instead of clicking through every option to loop back, right-clicking on cycle buttons lets you move to the previous option instantly. A small change that saves real time when tweaking settings.
- Scroll Wheel Slider Control — Sliders now respond to the scroll wheel, giving you much finer control over values like render distance, volume, and sensitivity without dragging imprecisely.
- Custom Menu Background — Replace the default dirt background with any 16×16 texture of your choice. This feature is disabled by default for compatibility reasons, but once enabled it adds a personal touch to every menu screen.

FAQ
Does YUNG's Menu Tweaks work with other YUNG's mods?
Yes — it shares the YUNG's API dependency, so if you already run other YUNG's mods like Better Dungeons or Better Mineshafts, you likely have the API installed already. Just make sure the API version matches your Minecraft version.
Can I use this mod on a server?
YUNG's Menu Tweaks only modifies client-side menu behavior, so it appears to be a client-side mod. You should be able to install it without requiring the server to have it as well.
How do I change the menu background texture?
The custom background feature is disabled by default. Open the mod's config file (via Cloth Config in-game or the config folder) and enable the background replacement option, then specify any 16×16 texture you want to use.
