Managing Early Versus Main Loading Screen Layouts

The Two Loading Stages

When running a modded client on NeoForge, the boot sequence is split into distinct phases:

• The Early Loading Screen: A barebones initial screen handled by NeoForge that appears during the pre-Minecraft startup phase.
• The Main Loading Screen: The standard Minecraft loading screen that appears afterward as game assets load.

Because these phases operate independently, changes made to the standard loading screen do not automatically transfer to the pre-Minecraft boot phase.

Using the Dedicated Settings

To ensure your visual presentation remains consistent across both phases, you must configure each screen through its designated interface.

1. Open your standard Drippy Loading Screen configuration interface to set up the main loading screen as usual.

2. Open the separate customization menu specifically dedicated to the early loading screen.

3. Match or complement the design elements from your main screen within the early customization menu so the transition feels seamless.

4. Save your adjustments in both menus and restart the game to confirm that the appearance holds throughout the entire startup process.
