Smooth Loading Screen

by TechyTechster

Smooth Loading Screen replaces the abrupt jump between the world select screen and a running world with a transition, for Fabric players on 1.21 – 26.2.

What it does

When a player leaves, joins or returns to a world, the mod captures a panorama of the current view and shows a smooth transition between the world select screen and the in-game scene. Players on a single-player or multiplayer client run it alone, and the server needs nothing installed. Fabric is the only loader it is published for, across 16 release versions 1.21 – 26.2, under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

The project is under active development, and its author notes that changes are received and integrated in step with JuxtUI.

Key features

  1. World transition

    A transition plays between the world select screen and the in-game view when a world is entered or left.

  2. Panorama capture

    The mod captures a panorama of the view and uses it as the backdrop during the loading screen.

  3. Loading screen

    The loading screen shown while a world loads is smoothed, so it does not cut sharply to the game.

What the author says

Smooth Loading Screen is a mod that captures a panorama of your world when you leave it, so when you join back it's a smooth transition from loading screen to world. Smooth Loading Screen is under active development, and will receive any changes I make to it while working on JuxtUI
