About this project

What does Old FML Loading add?

A lightweight nostalgia mod that brings back the classic standalone Forge Mod Loader (FML) startup window to Minecraft 1.12.2.

🌟 Features Nostalgic Startup Window: Recreates the original "Hello" loading dialog from early Forge versions.

  • Real-time Progress: Displays actual mod initialization stages, active mod IDs, and overall load percentages in a separate window alongside Minecraft.

  • Custom Mojang Logo Support: Restores support for the original Mojang logo. You can easily customize it by replacing the texture at assets/minecraft/textures/gui/title/mojang.png via a resource pack. If the image is missing or corrupted, the mod automatically falls back to a safe default logo.

  • Purely Visual & Lightweight: Designed solely to restore that classic look and feel without altering core game mechanics or mod loading efficiency.

Plug & Play: Drop it into your mods folder and enjoy the throwback.

⚠️ Note / Status: Build and initial checks have passed successfully, but in-game visual testing is still ongoing. Feel free to test it out and share your feedback!
