Since FancyMenu v3.6.0, the mod has support for playing MP4 videos!
There is a Video element and a menu background type that lets you play videos.
There are also the following actions to control video backgrounds and elements:
- Set Video Element Volume" to set the volume of a Video element
- Toggle Video Element Paused State to toggle the paused state of a Video element
- Set Video Background Volume to set the volume of a Video menu background
- Toggle Video Background Paused State to toggle the paused state of a Video menu background
And the following placeholders to get information about video backgrounds and elements:
- Video Element Volume to get the volume of a Video element
- Video Element Duration to get the duration of a Video element
- Video Element Play Time to get the current play time (progress) of a Video element
- Video Element Paused State to get the paused state (true/false) of a Video element
- Video Background Volume to get the volume of a Video menu background
- Video Background Duration to get the duration of a Video menu background
- Video Background Play Time to get the current play time (progress) of a Video menu background
- Video Background Paused State to get the paused state (true/false) of a Video menu background
To use the Video element and menu background type, you need to have the MCEF mod installed, which is used as backend for video support.
You can download MCEF from CurseForge¹ and Modrinth².
¶ Element and Background Shows as Pure Black Instead Of Video
When you see only black instead of the video playing, it is most likely not related to FancyMenu, but MCEF. MCEF probably failed to load correctly, so FancyMenu can't use it.
In this case you should better reach out to the MCEF devs and ask them for help in their Discord: https://discord.gg/rNrh5kW8Ty
The same can happen with the Browser element when MCEF fails to load correctly.
