Mod Loading Screen Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I open or see the mod loading screen?
It replaces the vanilla loading screen automatically, so you don't need to enable anything — just launch the game and it appears during startup. If you're not seeing it, check that the mod is actually loaded in your mods folder and that no other loading screen mod is overriding it.
Why does the loading screen show mods I don't recognize?
The list reflects every mod and library being loaded, including dependencies and embedded libraries that you never installed directly. Those extra entries are normal and are pulled in by the mods you did install.
How do I know which mod is slowing down my startup?
Watch the progress display during launch and note which mod stays on screen the longest before the bar moves on. That mod is the bottleneck, and you can confirm it by temporarily removing it and comparing startup time.
The loading screen is stuck on one mod, is the game frozen?
Not necessarily — some mods do heavy work like registering blocks, generating data, or scanning files, and the screen will sit on them for a while. If it stays stuck for an unusually long time with no change, that mod is likely the culprit and should be removed or reported.
Can I customize what the loading screen shows?
Yes, the mod includes config options that let you change what information is displayed and how the screen looks. Check the config file in your instance's config folder to toggle the display elements you want.
Does this mod work with other loading screen mods?
It can conflict with other mods that also replace the vanilla loading screen, since only one can control what you see. If you have another loading screen mod installed, remove one of them to avoid a broken or blank screen.
Will this mod slow down my game or affect performance?
The mod itself adds negligible overhead because it only reads and displays loading information that's already being generated. Any slowness you see is from the mods being loaded, not from the loading screen displaying them.
Why did my game crash and how do I use the loading screen to find the cause?
When the game crashes on startup, the loading screen usually stops on the last mod it was processing, which points to the likely cause. Cross-reference that mod name with your crash log to confirm before removing or updating it.
Can I hide the loading screen or make it skip faster?
You can't skip the loading process itself since that's the game starting up, but config options let you adjust what's shown. If you want it gone entirely, disable or remove the mod rather than trying to skip it.
The loading screen shows a mod as failed or red, what does that mean?
A failed or error state means that mod didn't load correctly, usually due to a missing dependency, version mismatch, or corrupt file. Check the crash log for that mod's name and fix or remove it before relaunching.
