MojangDark

Tired of having your eyes strained from viewing the bright loading screen of Minecraft? This mod fixes that!
Tired of other mods flashing red before turning another color? This mod fixes that!

This mod backports the feature added in 1.17 snapshots that lets you enable a monochrome logo on load, which switches the bright red background to be all black.
By default, this feature is turned on (since this is the entire reason the mod exists). When enabled, the mod changes the background color of the loading screen to all black, and modifies the colors used to display text from Forge to make it more readable on a black background.
However, this setting can be disabled in Accessibility Settings, exactly like the setting used in 1.17 snapshots.

This mod also makes sure its black right from the start. No red and then turns black shenanigans. Black all the way!

When 1.17 releases, the option selected in Accessibility Settings using this mod will automatically apply on 1.17, and this mod won't be necessary anymore as it will be a vanilla feature!

Note: This mod uses some unstable methods to modify the color of the early loading screen (see example screenshot below). Please report any and all issues on the GitHub.
