Thanks to a new mod,Minecraftplayers can now enjoy a much more flashy and satisfying introduction to new games with an animated main menu. Released over a decade ago, the procedurally generated crafting game of exploration and building is still going strong with a devoted fan base and an active modding community. Modding has been a core part of the game from the beginning and, indeed, helpedshapeMinecraft’sdevelopment history. This modding continues with great new additions, tweaks, and changes being introduced all the time.
Many mods introduce new content toMinecraft, allowing for new creations or even changing the story, theme, or gameplay in some way. Others, however, are more about improving how the game functions or simply making the experience smoother or nicer in some way. While less dramatic or substantive than some others, these mods are still welcome additions to fans of the game.

This week, just such a mod was introduced by noted modding team LabyMod. Dubbed LabyMod 4, this new mod provides a complete redesign of theMinecraftmain menu. The new menu features a more lively background of a tunnel with characters and mine carts moving through it. The camera even moves as different options are selected, providing closeups of different aspects of the scene.
All together, this mod creates a much more engaging menu with each mouse click offering a slightly different scene. Even the sub-menus are given a fresh new look, providing more color and style. It may not be as exciting as theMinecraftmods that add sci-fi elementsto the game, but it will still make booting it up much more interesting. In addition to providing a better menu, LabyMod 4 also serves as the new launcher for LabyMods users, allowing players to apply any other mods they’ve purchased from the team.
The new menu has already received a positive reception from fans on Reddit and joins a long list of other successfulcosmeticMinecraftmods. While some of LabyMod’s mods can be a bit expensive, hardcore fans will surely want to check them out. Even if they don’t want to pick up any of these mods, many players will surely want to pick up the free launcher simply for the sake of having a flashier menu.
The popular crafting game has had a long history of popular mods since its launch over a decade ago. Some have evenbecome official features inMinecraftover the years.This new menu and game launcher is likely to become a mainstay of the title and a popular mod in the fan community in the future.
