I don't know my version or loader
Retrocrash
Remakes the old beta crash screen and makes it available for modern versions of the game.
Features
- Compatibility with resource packs that change the logo
- Changing the background/style is not yet supported, but is planned for the future
- Every version listed receives the same support (1.19.x will always be updated at the same time as 1.21.x)
- Forge <1.20 support is planned
Usage
If you'd like to test this out, Minecraft already comes with a shortcut to crash the game (hold F3 + C in-game for a few seconds)
Outside this, this mod intercepts Minecraft's crash screen handler to show this screen, wait until it's closed, and resume all crash handler functionality after. Crash logs are still made, crashes are still displayed in your launcher, and this mod shouldn't clash with any other.
