Early loading window handled automatically
NeoForge normally shows its own red-themed early loading window. CervDarkTheme
automatically sets earlyWindowControl = false in config/fml.toml for you -
no manual editing needed. The change applies from the second launch onward
(the loader reads that file before mods load). You can opt out via the
"Disable Early Loading Window" config option.
