Loading Backgrounds FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I make the Oceans pack actually show up on my loading screen?
Make sure the Loading Backgrounds mod is installed alongside the resource pack, then enable the pack in your resource pack list and move it above the default. The mod reads enabled packs to pick which backgrounds to display, so a disabled or low-priority pack won't appear.
Why is my loading screen still the default even though the Oceans pack is enabled?
Another resource pack is likely overriding the loading background files, or the pack is sitting below a conflicting pack in the list. Drag the Oceans pack to the top of your enabled packs and reload the game.
Can I use the Oceans pack together with other Loading Backgrounds packs?
Yes, the mod supports multiple background packs at once and will rotate or combine their images. Just enable all the packs you want and order them however you prefer the rotation.
How does the mod decide which background image to show each time?
It pulls from the images provided by your enabled background packs and picks one for the loading screen, so the more packs you enable, the more variety you'll see. The exact selection behavior depends on the mod's rotation settings.
My loading screen is laggy after adding the Oceans pack — how do I fix it?
Large or high-resolution background images take longer to load, so try disabling other background packs to reduce how many images the mod has to handle. Lowering your game's overall resource load or using fewer enabled packs usually smooths it out.
Does the Oceans pack change anything besides the loading screen?
No, it's a background pack for the Loading Backgrounds mod, so it only affects the loading screen visuals. It doesn't add ocean mobs, blocks, or gameplay content.
Do I need the Loading Backgrounds Mod for the Oceans pack to work?
Yes, the pack is a complementary resource pack for the Loading Backgrounds mod and won't function on its own. Install the mod first, then enable the pack.
The Oceans backgrounds show up but they're stretched or cropped weirdly — what's wrong?
This usually happens when the image resolution doesn't match your screen aspect ratio, since the mod scales images to fit. Try a different GUI scale or check whether another pack is overriding the image files.
How do I switch back to the normal Minecraft loading screen?
Simply disable the Oceans pack (and any other background packs) in your resource pack list. With no background packs enabled, the mod falls back to the default loading screen.
Can I add my own ocean images to the pack?
You can edit the pack's image files directly if you know the folder structure the mod expects, replacing them with your own images of the same format. Keep the file names and dimensions consistent so the mod can still load them.
