Pokeloader
Pokeloader replaces the startup screen with an iconic opening sequence, paired with audio, and runs only on the client.
What it does
When the game starts, Pokeloader plays a themed loading sequence with sound. Only the client needs the mod, so players join servers without installing anything. Files cover Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds for 1.16.1 – 26.3 and snapshot builds published. Installing it on Forge or NeoForge requires Kotlin for Forge, and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) is needed to reach the configuration menus. Mod Menu is optional but connects the settings screen. The mod is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only.
