Tired of staring at the same vanilla loading screen every time you launch Minecraft? Custom Splash Screen Mod lets you completely overhaul that experience — swap out the logo, change colors, add a custom background image, and even hide or restyle the loading bar. With over 4 million downloads on Modrinth, it's one of the most popular cosmetic tweaks in the Fabric ecosystem, and for good reason: it turns a boring wait into something that actually feels like your game.
Key Features
- Full splash screen customization — Replace the default Mojang logo, background color, and loading bar with your own designs through simple configuration files.
- Custom background images — Add any image as your loading screen backdrop, giving your Minecraft install a personal or themed look right from startup.
- Loading bar control — Change the appearance of the progress bar or hide it entirely for a cleaner aesthetic.
- Color configuration — Adjust the splash screen color scheme to match your resource pack, modpack branding, or personal preference.
- Config-driven setup — All changes are handled through configuration files, so no code editing or complex setup is required.
