About this project

What does Darker Loading Screen add?

This mod allows configuration of the loading/resource reloading screen background color and progress bar color. This used to be possible in 1.12- with only Forge, but is no longer possible because they've decided not to support it anymore,their reasoning can be found below.

Requires MixinBootstrap (only in 1.15)

Mod is clientside only, will do nothing on dedicated servers.
default color is dark gray for background, red for an empty bar, and green for a full bar

1.16 version now includes configurable logo color

Conversations from Forge DIscord:

You won't find be able to find these anymore because Forge censors anything they don't like.
