About this project

What does Modern Splash add?

Modern Splash is a 1.12.2 & 1.7.10 mod that changes the loading screen to high version style.

This mod also has a configurable dark mode, you can configure its start time and end time, or just always enable it.

The colour combination of the default dark mode comes from Default Dark Mode resource pack.

embeddedt's Startup Timer is included, since it's incompatible.

Some old version elements(e.g. Forge anvil) are disabled by default, but can be re-enabled in config.

Config file located at config/modernsplash.cfg

By enable mimicModern option the splash will only show main progress bar and the logo, looks exactly like modern versions.

If you install the mod in a previous game instance, you may want to remove existed config/splash.properties to clear the old colour.

To work with LiteLoader under 1.7.10, you need to change the loadingbar option in .minecraft/liteconfig/liteloader.properties to false

Incompatible with all loading screen mods.

1.12.2 version require Cleanroom

1.7.10 version require UniMixins
