Description

CervDarkTheme

Tired of the bright red Mojang loading screen burning your eyes every launch? CervDarkTheme turns it dark - and lets you restyle every part of it to match your setup.

✨ Features

🌑 Dark by default - deep dark background (#14181C) instead of vanilla red (#EF323D)
🎨 Full color customisation with an in-game color picker:
- Background
- Progress bar fill
- Bar background (unfilled part)
- Bar border
- Mojang Studios logo tint
⏱️ Adjustable fade-in / fade-out durations - make the loading screen snappier
🖥️ Client-side only - safe to use on any server, no server install needed

⚙️ Configuration

Open the config GUI in-game via Mods → CervDarkTheme → Config (powered by Fzzy Config), or edit config/cervdarktheme/config.toml directly.

Setting	Default
Background Color	`#14181C`
Bar Color	`#E22837`
Bar Background Color	`#14181C`
Border Color	`#303336`
Logo Color	`#FFFFFF`
Fade In Duration	`0.25s`
Fade Out Duration	`0.5s`

Early loading window handled automatically

NeoForge normally shows its own red-themed early loading window. CervDarkTheme automatically sets earlyWindowControl = false in config/fml.toml for you - no manual editing needed. The change applies from the second launch onward (the loader reads that file before mods load). You can opt out via the "Disable Early Loading Window" config option.
