About this project
What does Black Early Loading Screen add?
Works exactly like the Vanilla "Monochrome Logo" setting.
The “Monochrome Logo” setting in Minecraft’s settings menu becomes redundant.
When is this useful?
If your modpack ships with a defaultoptions.txt from KubeJS, the "Monochrome Logo" setting will not apply on the very first launch. This lightweight mod fixes that bug.
To make this mod work:
In:
YourMinecraftInstance\config\fml.toml
Change:
earlyWindowProvider = "fmlearlywindow"
To:
earlyWindowProvider = "blackearlywindow"
