CUI gives you full control over Minecraft’s UI colors.

Menus, HUD elements, inventories, buttons, hotbars, hearts, text, and even interfaces added by other mods can all be recolored in real time. Because apparently every mod author on earth independently decided that dark gray buttons on slightly darker gray backgrounds are peak design.

Universal Texture Support

CUI is not limited to vanilla textures.

The mod includes a built-in texture management screen that lets you manually control how textures are processed and recolored.

You can:

  • recolor virtually any GUI texture in the game
  • prevent textures from being modified
  • create compatibility with unsupported mods

This system works with practically any mod interface and textures.

You can even force CUI to recolor block textures if you really want to. Which is an amount of power humanity historically does not handle responsibly.

Built-in Color Editor

CUI comes with a full color editor featuring:

  • HSV color picker
  • live preview
  • filters
  • advanced settings
  • almost instant updates without restarting the game

Everything updates in real time, so tweaking colors does not feel like performing dark rituals through JSON files anymore.
