Good to know

Forge and NeoForge: Their first loading window opens before any mod runs, so it is still red the very first time you start with this mod. From the next start on it is black. That window only knows black or red, so custom colors start once the game's own loading screen appears. Monochrome Logo: The mod turns on this vanilla option so that first window goes dark. Pick Red or turn the mod off and it
