Better loading screen

by HuaMouRen

Better loading screen replaces the vanilla world-loading interface on Fabric with a more modern loading screen that shows progress while a world or dimension loads.

FabricClient-side onlyGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.20.1 – 26.3

What it does

When a player loads a world, the vanilla loading interface is swapped for a redesigned screen with a new loading animation and a clean LOADING label. A real-time progress percentage is shown while the world loads. The enhanced screen also covers dimension transitions, such as travelling to the Nether or the End, so the look stays the same across the whole journey.

Cloth Config API is required, and Mod Menu is optional; with Mod Menu installed, the configuration screen can be opened from the mod list. The mod is published for Fabric only, across 18 release versions, and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so the code is open source. It is client-side only, so servers and other players do not need it.

  1. Redesigned loading screen

  3. Dimension transitions

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.
