i added a slideshow in the files like the tutorial sowed but it dosent show up

First make sure the slideshow folder is structured exactly like the guide expects:

• config/fancymenu/slideshows/<your-slideshow-name>/
  • properties.txt filled out (type slideshow, unique name, width/height, duration, etc.)
  • images/ containing only PNGs named in order (e.g. image_1.png, image_2.png, …)

After you drop the folder in place, reload FancyMenu via Customization → Reload FancyMenu so the new slideshow definition is registered, then add a Slideshow element (or menu background) and pick your slideshow from the selector.

If it still doesn’t show up, double-check that the layout you’re editing is actually active on that screen and that you chose the slideshow name correctly. Let me know the folder structure, what’s inside properties.txt, and whether the element shows any error—then I can help you narrow it down. 😊

Full steps are in the Slideshows documentation.

\minecraft\config\fancymenu\slideshows/myslideshow then ita has two files, a foldere named images with 5 png's image_1.png, image_2.png, image_3.png, image_4.png, image_5.png and a .txt file

Thanks for the details! From the doc the slideshow folder should look exactly like:

config/fancymenu/slideshows/myslideshow/
├─ properties.txt   ← contains the slideshow metadata (type, name, width, height, duration, etc.)
└─ images/
   ├─ image_1.png
   ├─ image_2.png
   └─ … (only PNGs, numbered so they load in order)

If that matches, please make sure properties.txt is filled like in the guide (starts with type = slideshow, has a unique name, width/height, duration, fadespeed, and randomize = false). After saving it, reload FancyMenu through Customization → Reload FancyMenu so it picks up the new slideshow, then add a Slideshow element or background and choose myslideshow from the list.

I can’t open the .txt you attached here, so could you either copy/paste the contents of properties.txt into chat or check it against the example in the Slideshows documentation? Once I see the metadata we can figure out why it isn’t showing.

the contenets: type = slideshow

slideshow-meta {
name = cool_slideshow
width = 1920
height = 1080
x = 0
y = 0
duration = 5.0
fadespeed = 12.0
randomize = false
}

Thanks for sharing the file! Everything there looks valid, so here are the next things to double-check:

1. Reload FancyMenu (Customization → Reload FancyMenu) after adding the slideshow folder—otherwise it won’t register the new slideshow.
2. Make sure the layout you’re editing actually has a Slideshow element (or background) and you selected cool_slideshow from the dropdown list.
3. Confirm the layout is enabled on the screen you’re testing, and that no loading requirements hide the element.
4. All slideshow images must be PNGs and live inside images/ (which you already did—good!), and their names should stay in alphabetical order (e.g. image_1.png, image_2.png…).

If it still doesn’t appear, try creating a fresh layout with only the slideshow element/background to rule out conflicts.

The full guide is here if you want to double-check anything: Slideshows documentation. Let me know what you see after reloading and picking the slideshow—I’ll keep helping! ✨

it dosent show up and i already created a fresh layout with only the slideshow element/background

[oblique granite]

Hmm, since the structure and metadata look good and you already tried a clean layout, let’s make sure the element is actually pointing to the right slideshow:

1. Open the Slideshow element’s settings (or the background config) and click Select Slideshow. Does cool_slideshow appear in the list at all?
2. If it does, select it and confirm the width/height and position are sensible (you can keep x/y at 0).
3. After picking it, use the preview (or save + close editor) and see if it shows.

If the slideshow name doesn’t appear in that selector even after reloading FancyMenu, that means the mod isn’t seeing the folder. In that case:

• Double-check the folder is exactly config/fancymenu/slideshows/myslideshow/.
• Make sure the images are PNGs (sometimes PNGs saved as other formats won’t load).
• Reload FancyMenu once more via Customization → Reload FancyMenu.

If it still won’t show, tell me:

• Does cool_slideshow appear in the dropdown?
• Does the Slideshow element report any error text when you select it?
• Are there any files in config/fancymenu/logs/ mentioning slideshows after reload?

With those details I can pinpoint what’s blocking it. 💖

solution: if you name the txt "properties.txt'' the file will show up like properties.txt.txt so name it "properties"
