Drippy macOS Early Loading Patch

by brazenpine

Drippy macOS Early Loading Patch fixes startup crashes that the Drippy early loading screen causes on macOS, and it is a client-side NeoForge patch.

NeoForgeClient-side onlyMIT License1.21.1 – 26.1.2

What it does

The patch changes how the early loading screen draws on macOS. The screen's rendering path is incompatible with the Core Profile renderer that macOS expects, which causes startup crashes. Rather than editing Drippy's own code, the patch substitutes a current Core Profile renderer for the older path that breaks on macOS, leaving the remainder of the loading screen as shipped.

Only the client needs the patch, so servers run without it and players install it alone. It requires Drippy Early Loading Module, and the author notes that version 3.1.2 of Drippy Loading Screen must be installed with the Early Loading Module enabled. Files are published for NeoForge across 1.21.1, 1.21.11, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, and the latest file targets 26.1.2. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

Key features

  1. macOS startup crash fix

    Stops the crashes that the Drippy early loading screen triggers during startup on macOS systems.

  2. Core Profile renderer swap

    The older rendering path that fails on macOS is switched out for a Core Profile renderer, so the loading screen draws through a supported route.

  3. Custom backgrounds and logos

    The loading screen keeps its custom backgrounds, logos and progress bar textures.

  4. Corrected progress clipping

    Progress-texture clipping is fixed, so the progress bar displays correctly while it fills.

  5. Startup logger messages

    The patch writes its own messages to the startup log, which helps when checking whether it loaded.

What the author says

Drippy Early Loading Module 3.1.2 uses legacy OpenGL calls that macOS Core Profile does not support, causing the game to crash during startup. This patch replaces that incompatible rendering path with a modern Core Profile renderer, without modifying Drippy itself.
