Simple Custom Early Loading Mod 1.20.1–1.21.4

MOD

Simple Custom Early Loading customizes Neoforge's early loading screen, with a separate version available for Forge. It supports adding and positioning custom images, which can be animated APNG files (requiring creation without unchanged pixels detection) or static images like JPEG, PNG, TGA, BMP, PSD, HDR, PIC, and PNM. GIF files render only a single static frame. Users can also toggle and reposition the progress bar, and toggle the performance bar, NeoForge's fox, the bottom left log, and NeoForge's version display (bottom right).

A limitation is that the window cannot dynamically change resolution upon resizing. The mod also does not permit removing the Mojang logo. The override applies late, which may cause the original red early loading screen or a white screen to momentarily flash at startup. While the mod itself cannot address this, the original loading screen's red color can be modified via JVM arguments. The Forge version requires a default value.
