Seamless Loading Screen

by Minenash

With Seamless Loading Screen installed, leaving a world or server saves a screenshot that appears when the player rejoins, in place of a plain loading screen.

What it does

When a player leaves a world or server, the mod captures the game as an image. On rejoining, that image is shown while the level loads, so the transition looks continuous instead of going to a blank loading screen. It covers singleplayer worlds, Realms and multiplayer servers.

Several settings shape the result, including blur, tint and the resolution of the captured screenshot. Configuration is handled through YetAnotherConfigLib, which provides an in-game screen where each option can be changed. The mod needs Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) to run.

The mod is client-side only, so servers do not need it and players join without installing anything extra. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 17 release versions, 1.16.2 – 1.21.1.

Key features

  1. Screenshot on exit

    The game is captured when a world or server is left, and the image is kept for the next join.

  2. Image on rejoin

    The saved screenshot is displayed while the level loads, covering the usual blank loading screen.

  3. Blur and tint

    Blur strength and color tint can be adjusted so the stored image fits the loading screen's look.

  4. Screenshot resolution

    The resolution of the captured image can be set, trading image detail against the work done on exit.

  5. In-game configuration

    Every option is exposed through a configuration screen, so no file editing is needed for common changes.
