Loading Window
A dead-simple mod that adds an AWT loading window before Minecraft's main window opens.
About this Mod
Fabric Loading Window
One thing I find really annoying is that the Minecraft splash screen doesn't open for a while after the game is launched, making it hard to determine what's going on without the console open. This dead-simple mod fixes that by showing an AWT loading screen until the game finishes initializing.
Due to a limitation imposed by the operating system, this mod does not work on Mac.

Does Loading Window need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks Loading Window as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.
Which version and loader does Loading Window require?
Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.20.4, 1.20.3, 1.20.2. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
Loading Window is not working – what should I check?
First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
