Java mod listed for Minecraft 26.x. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
Resource packs restyle every loading screen: custom art, animated backgrounds, progress bars, percent readouts, status lines, and rotating tips.
⬇ Download on ModrinthCustomizable Loading Screens for Minecraft Texturepacks
Manifold lets texturepacks use their own custom loading screens with a manifold.json that takes over the boot menu, world loading screen, world upgrades, server connects, and the rest of the loading screens.
What packs can do:
- Full-screen customizable art
- Animated backgrounds (using vanilla
.mcmetaframe-strip format.) - Animated progress bars
- Rotating tips
Screens without a progress bar (connecting to a server,) get a looping bar instead of a percentage, by default.
Default Themes
Three official themes are available: Neo-Glitch, Cinematic Dawn, and Badlands Edition (fully animated: a minecart rolling into a badlands sunset).
Making your own theme is really simple; it's a folder with a JSON file and some PNGs. The complete guide: PACK_AUTHORS.md.
Notes
- Fabric API is not required. Client-side only;
- Conflicts: Mods that fight for the same screens (Puzzle's splash module, Remove Reloading Screen).
