Loading Window

by Igrium

Loading Window puts an AWT loading window on screen before Minecraft's main window opens, so the launch shows progress from the start.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.18 – 1.20.4

What it does

The window appears before the game's main window, and it stays until initialization finishes. Players who want to see what the game is doing during startup, without opening the console, can use it to follow the launch. The mod is client-side only, so only the client needs it, and it is released under the MIT License, making it open source. Files are published for Fabric for 1.18 – 1.20.4, and the latest file, 1.1.0, is for 1.20.4.

Key features

  1. Startup loading window

    An AWT window opens ahead of Minecraft's main window and shows the launch while the game starts.

  2. Shown until initialization ends

    The loading screen stays up until the game finishes initializing, then gives way to the main window.

  3. No console needed

    Startup progress is visible on screen, so the console does not have to stay open to follow the launch.

What the author says

One thing I find really annoying is that the Minecraft splash screen doesn't open for a while after the game is launched, making it hard to determine what's going on without the console open. This dead-simple mod fixes that by showing an AWT loading screen until the game finishes initializing. Due to a limitation…
