Mod-erate Loading Screen

by enjarai

Mod-erate Loading Screen replaces the vanilla loading screen with a Fabric alternative to Mod Menu, showing installed mods as icons on the splash.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.17 – 1.21.4

What it does

Installed mods appear as icons that drop down the loading screen like snowflakes, and a stacking mode arranges them in rows instead. The author notes that the screen offers full feature parity with Mod Menu but is a lot less usable for browsing mods, so Mod Menu itself remains the better tool for managing them. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players may install it alone. It requires CICADA and Fabric API, and files are published for 1.17 – 1.21.4 with 1.4.3+1.21.4 as the latest Fabric build, under the MIT License and open source.

Key features

  1. Snowflake icon fall

    Mod icons drop down the loading screen like snowflakes, with a stacking mode available as an alternative layout.

  2. Few options

    Options let players show the mod only once, hide library entries and change the background color.

  3. Based on Quilt Loading Screen

    Its design draws heavily from Quilt Loading Screen, which the author names as the basis for the work.

What the author says

An "alternative" to Mod Menu that's a lot less usable. (full feature parity not included) Makes the icons of installed mods fall down the loading screen like snowflakes. Includes a few configuration options like showing every mod only once, hiding libraries, and changing the background color. I'd recommend installing…
