CervDarkTheme

Dark mode for the Minecraft loading screen — fully customizable colors, client-side only.

Tired of the bright red Mojang loading screen burning your eyes every launch? CervDarkTheme turns it dark by default and lets you restyle every part of it — background, progress bar, and even the Mojang logo tint — to match your setup.

✅ Client-side only — safe on any server, no server install needed
✅ Works out of the box — dark theme applied instantly, no config required
✅ In-game color picker — no file editing needed

✨ Features

• 🌑 Dark by default — deep dark background (#14181C) instead of vanilla red (#EF323D)
• 🎨 Full color customization 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
• 🪟 NeoForge early loading window handled automatically — no manual fml.toml editing

🚀 Quick Start

1. Install the mod (requires Fzzy Config)
2. Launch the game — the loading screen is dark right away
3. Want different colors? Open Mods → CervDarkTheme → Config and pick your own

⚙️ Configuration

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

❓ FAQ

Why is the early loading window still red on first launch?
NeoForge shows its own red-themed early loading window. CervDarkTheme automatically sets earlyWindowControl = false in config/fml.toml for you — but the loader reads that file before mods load, so the change applies from the second launch onward. You can opt out via the "Disable Early Loading Window" config option.

Do I need to install anything on the server?
No. CervDarkTheme is 100% client-side — join any server freely.

Are there any dependencies?
Yes, Fzzy Config is required for the config GUI.

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.
