Turning it on
- Open the Sour Client menu (the SC Mods button on the title screen or the Esc menu) and press Settings, pinned under the category list. SC Settings on the title screen goes straight there.
- Change any row and it applies straight away. Reset puts the section back to defaults.
- It has a key: HUD Editor Key (Right Shift). Change it in this mod's settings or under Settings › Keybinds.
Every setting
In the order the game shows them. Indented rows only appear once the row above is set the way it says.
Appearance9 settings
| Match Launcher Accent | Use the launcher's accent colour in game. Off: the game keeps its own accent below, and Reset puts it back to Sour green. | Off |
| Accent Colour GoldShows when Match Launcher Accent is off | The SourClient accent — highlights, toggles, selection bars and primary buttons across every in-game menu. Persists per profile. | #087815 |
| Logo Mark Gold | The coloured SourClient mark shown beside your name in game and in tab. Rungs unlock the longer you hold Sour Gold. | autoclassic, amber, ember, rose, sky, violet, platinum, prismatic, auto, green, maroon, crimson, teal |
| UI Font | SourClient Font uses bundled typography in all Sour UI text paths. Font Mix uses Minecraft's font for list and row text where supported, and bundled fonts inside some custom-drawn controls. Minecraft Font uses Minecraft's font everywhere body text is drawn in Sour menus (resource-pack fonts apply); headings stay on SourClient display type. | soursour, mixed, vanilla |
| UI Font SizeShows when UI Font is sour | Scales all SourClient menu text. 1.0 is the original size; the default sits slightly smaller. | 0.920.8 to 1.15 |
| Blur Menu Wallpaper | Softens the menu wallpaper wherever it draws (SourClient menus and vanilla menu screens). Turn off for a sharp, full-detail wallpaper. | On |
| Wallpaper On Main Menu | Uses your SourClient menu wallpaper as the main menu backdrop instead of the rotating panorama. Turn off to go back to the panorama, including one supplied by a resource pack. | Off |
| Replace Dirt Backgrounds | Swaps the vanilla dirt background (options, world loading, downloading-terrain screens) for the SourClient menu background. | On |
| Resource Packs On Esc Menu | On a server, the Esc menu shows Resource Packs instead of Open to LAN (which does nothing there): Cosmetics moves up beside Options and Resource Packs takes its old place. Singleplayer keeps Open to LAN. | On |
Input6 settings
| Scroll Sensitivity | Mouse-wheel speed used in SourClient menus. | 10040 to 220 |
| Disable Hotbar Scroll | Stops the mouse wheel changing your held item in game. Hotbar keys 1-9 still work, and SourClient menus still scroll normally. | Off |
| Ghost Block Fix | If the server never confirms a block you placed or broke, put it back the way the server has it, so you don't see walls that aren't there. | On |
| HUD Editor Key | Key used to open the HUD editor. | Right Shift |
| Free Cursor in Menus | While a menu or container is open, lets the mouse leave the game window (e.g. onto a second monitor) instead of being fenced inside fullscreen. Gameplay mouse capture is unchanged. | On |
| Keep Fullscreen on Focus LossShows when Free Cursor in Menus is on | Exclusive fullscreen only: clicking another monitor or alt-tabbing while a menu is open unfocuses the game but keeps it visible instead of minimising it. Borderless Fullscreen behaves this way natively. | On |
Resource Packs5 settings
| Resource Pack Previews | Show a floating card of what a pack actually changes — swords, blocks, hearts — while the cursor is over it. Turn off for a plain list. | On |
| Fast Pack Switching | Skip work a pack swap cannot change: the sound-engine restart when neither pack carries sounds, and the model JSON parse when neither carries models. Cuts most of the freeze on a texture-pack swap. | On |
| Preview SizeShows when Resource Pack Previews is on | How large the preview card's sample tiles are drawn. | 10.5 to 2.5 |
| Show Pack VersionShows when Resource Pack Previews is on | The preview card says which Minecraft version the pack was made for. | On |
| Hide Incompatible Packs | Leave packs made for another Minecraft version out of the list of packs to pick from. Packs you already use stay in your active list. | Off |

| HUD Snap | In the HUD editor, catches modules on the screen centre lines and the screen edge as you drag them. Hold Shift to move freely. | On |
| Snap To Other ModulesShows when HUD Snap is on | Also catches a dragged module on the edges and centre of the other HUD modules, so they line up with each other. | On |
| Edge Guide OffsetShows when HUD Snap is on | How far in from the screen edge the edge guides sit, in pixels. Only moves the four edge lines - the centre cross stays on the screen centre. | 20 to 200 |
| Alignment GuidesShows when HUD Snap is on | While dragging a HUD module with HUD Snap on, shows the centre lines and edge it can catch on. | On |
| Centre Guide ColourShows when HUD Snap is on | Colour of the two centre lines (#AARRGGBB). Separate from the edge guides so the screen centre can be told apart at a glance. | #FFFFFF at 63% |
| Edge Guide ColourShows when HUD Snap is on | Colour of the screen-edge alignment guides (#AARRGGBB). The guide you are currently caught on is drawn in your accent colour. | #FFFFFF at 63% |
Interface16 settings
| Menu Animations | Plays the flowing enter/exit motion on SourClient menus (pause/Esc menu, mods, profiles, HUD editor, resource packs, popups, dropdowns, tab sliders). Turn off for instant, static screens - reduced motion, like the launcher's. | On |
| Animation StyleShows when Menu Animations is on | Normal plays every menu animation. Minimal plays only the kinds you pick below. | NormalNormal, Minimal |
| Page TransitionsShows when Animation Style is Minimal | Menus fade and slide as you go between them (title screen, Esc menu, Mods, Profiles, server list) and their contents ripple in. | Off |
| Popups & DropdownsShows when Animation Style is Minimal | Dialogs, dropdowns and right-click menus grow in and fade out. | On |
| Tab & Toggle SlidersShows when Animation Style is Minimal | The highlight glides to the tab or option you pick, and sections fold open smoothly. | On |
| Hover & PressShows when Animation Style is Minimal | Buttons fade their hover colour and give a small bounce when clicked. | On |
| Smooth ScrollingShows when Animation Style is Minimal | Lists glide when scrolled, ease back at the ends, and rows slide into new places when they reorder. | On |
| Idle MotionShows when Animation Style is Minimal | Small living details, like your skin breathing in the skin viewer. | Off |
| Icon-Only Buttons | Buttons that have a picture show just the picture - hover one for its name. Covers the Esc menu shortcuts, Back, Edit HUD, Reset, the server and world bars, the resource pack buttons and the friends list. | On |
| Compact Menus | Packs settings pages and setting popups tighter, so far more fits on screen without scrolling - like Lunar and Badlion. | On |
| Menu FPS Limit | Caps the frame rate on the title screen and other menus outside a world. 0 = the same limit as the game. 60 keeps a weak GPU (and its fan) quiet in menus; leave it at 0 on a high refresh rate screen so menus stay smooth. | 00 to 360 |
| Replay Welcome Tour | Runs the guided tour of the client again from the beginning. Switches itself back off as the tour opens. | Off |
| Borderless Fullscreen | Fills the screen as an undecorated window instead of exclusive fullscreen — Esc / Alt-Tab switches screens instantly. Applied live. | Off |
| Confirm Before Resetting | Asks first when a Reset button would throw settings away. Turn this off to have Reset buttons act immediately. | On |
| Confirm Before Disconnecting | The Esc menu's Disconnect button needs a second click within 3 seconds on a server. Stops an accidental disconnect mid-game. | Off |
| Disable Achievement Popups | Suppresses the slide-in achievement/advancement toast notifications. | Off |

| Ping Value ColourShows when Multiplayer Ping Number is on | Value colour when dynamic colour is disabled. | #FFFFFF |

| FPS Performance ModeShows when FPS Performance is on | Quality keeps visuals (HUD redrawn 240 times a second); Balanced trims overlays (HUD 144); Extreme applies maximum client-side cuts (HUD 60, no plants, no stuck arrows). Anything you set yourself in Performance Tweaks wins over the mode. | BalancedQuality, Balanced, Extreme |
