About this project
What does Loading Backgrounds add?
With this mod you will be able to customize the background of the loading screens of the Minecraft games, placing any type of customizable image. It is recommended for all those creators of modpacks who want to give a better sensation to their contents, loading images of the modpack and placing them as background.
Do you need a server to play with your friends?
If you are looking for a server to play any mod or modpack with your friends, Bisect Hosting is your solution! They have the best quality-price Minecraft servers, and if you click on this link you will get a 25% discount, using the code "Lupin".

To add background images, you'll want to create a resource pack with the folder /assets/minecraft/textures/gui/backgrounds/ and put .png image files in there. Ideally you'd name them image1.png, image2.png, image3.png, etc.
If the mod detects that there are no loading images currently enabled, it'll look for any resource packs that have names containing "loading" and "background", and then enable those resource packs.
It is essential to place the pack.mcmeta. Create a notepad with that name and put the following text:
{
"pack": {
"pack_format": 15,
"description": "Loading Backgrounds images"
}
}
Also, you can look at this resourcepack as an example.
We have also created some great resourcepacks for you! You can install them or create your own.
Loading Backgrounds is possible thanks to the work of Luavixen!

Does it work on servers?
