Looking for translated README files? You can find them here
To get started, download the mod .jar file from one of the trusted platforms or official sources below.
- Website (Down)
- Place the downloaded .jar file into your Minecraft mods folder:
- On Windows: C:\Users<YourName>\AppData\Roaming.minecraft\mods
- On Linux/macOS: ~/.minecraft/mods
- Make sure you’re running a compatible mod loader.
- Launch the game, and HorizonUI should be active!
If you're using MultiMC, Prism Launcher, GDLauncher, or any custom launcher, simply add the mod to the instance's mods folder, or import it using the launcher’s built-in mod manager.
HorizonUI focuses heavily on UI customization, including layout and background visuals. As a result, mods that also modify the Minecraft user interface or background rendering may conflict with HorizonUI.
Common sources of incompatibility include:
- Mods that overhaul or replace the main menu or HUD elements.
- Shader-related mods that modify UI layers or apply post-processing to 2D elements.
- Mods that change how background images or textures are loaded and rendered.
If you are experiencing issues such as overlapping elements, broken backgrounds, or UI not appearing as expected, please review your mod list for potential conflicts with UI-altering mods.
To enhance your UI experience while using HorizonUI, it is highly recommended to install font customization mods that replace the default Minecraft font.
Suggested mods:
- BetterFonts
- Smooth Font
- Caxton
- Or any mod that allows replacing Minecraft's default font with clean, modern fonts like Poppins, Inter, or Segoe UI.
Using a modern font will significantly improve readability and the overall visual consistency of the interface customized by HorizonUI.
