Paper Doll

Floating Hotbar

The hotbar is shifted a few pixels upward, creating a floating effect.

Position Display

Enhanced Player Model

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I configure this mod? A: Install the Config Menus for Forge mod and configure it directly in-game!

Q: Can you add the old console crafting interface? A: No, as it's built for controller input which is not available in Java Edition.

Q: Will Console Experience ever add anything beyond purely visual content? A: No, as it's meant to be a client-only mod.

Q: Can I customize held item tooltips and loading screen tips? A: Yes, via separate JSON-based configs. They can be reloaded in-game using /consoleexperience reload command.
