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

❓ 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.
