How to Manually Edit the Loading Screen Config File

If you prefer not to install extra interface libraries, you can manually customize your startup screen by editing the mod's JSON configuration file directly.

Locating the File

1. Close Minecraft completely so the game does not overwrite your changes.

2. Open your system file manager and navigate to your .minecraft directory.

3. Open the config folder.

4. Look for the file named dark-loading-screen.json. If it does not exist yet, create it directly inside this directory.

Editing Custom Colors

Open dark-loading-screen.json using any plain text editor.

• Enter your custom color values for the background colors, loading bars, borders, and logo colors.
• Save your changes and close the text editor.

Applying Your Changes

Because manual configuration edits are read from the file when the game boots up, you must restart the game to apply any manual configuration changes. Once you launch the client again, the loading screen will render with your custom color scheme.
