Seamless Loading Screen Rethinking

A client-side rework of Minenash's Seamless Loading Screen. The mod saves a view of a world or server when you leave it normally, shows that screenshot during the next load, and fades it into the live game when the world is ready.

Rethinking keeps Minecraft's loading indicator visible and does not hold the player behind an extra transition screen after the world becomes playable.

• Saved world and server screenshots during loading, followed by a smooth transition into the game.
• Two screenshot reveal modes: New follows loading progress with a short opacity animation; Classic reveals the screenshot independently of progress.
• Native and Optimized screenshot output sizes.
• Configurable tint, transition duration, and optional world-icon updates.
• Optional use of Minecraft's built-in menu blur where available.
• A substantial under-the-hood rework of screenshot capture and saving, loading-screen state, and world transitions. These parts are designed to behave more reliably across supported Minecraft versions and mod loaders—not just look different.

Seamless Loading Screen Rethinking

This mod makes loading worlds feel smoother: instead of the game appearing suddenly, it shows a saved image of your last moment in the world and gently fades it away once loading is complete.

What has changed in Rethinking

• Loading screens and world transitions works faster.
• Blur is enabled by default and works during loading.
• The world screenshot appears gradually instead of popping in all at once.
• Saving a screenshot should no longer noticeably slow down leaving a world.
• When leaving a singleplayer world, its icon in the world list updates automatically — this feature is enabled by default.
• Fixed issues with freezing when leaving a world, including with FastQuit.
