Stargate Early Loading

by lukaskabc

Stargate Early Loading replaces the first screen NeoForge shows at startup with a custom splash that carries animated stargate artwork.

What it does

Installed next to NeoForge or Forge, the mod swaps the early loading screen for one built from the author's own images and animations. The background is styled after the Stargate artwork that StargateJourney resource packs provide, and the file names are kept in the config for swapping. Only the client needs it, since the screen appears before any world or server connection. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 1.21.4 and are released under Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, so the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Animated stargate splash

    The early loading screen shows an animated stargate, replacing the default NeoForge startup image.

  2. Resource pack backgrounds

    The stargate background can be restyled through resource packs made for StargateJourney.

  3. Custom images and animations

    Players and pack makers can supply their own loading images and animations to change the splash.
