NarutoLoading

Replaces Minecraft's loading screens, dirt backgrounds, and title panorama with custom videos and audio. Also supports building actual video screens in-world.

Basic Environment Setup

FFmpeg and Yt-dlp

Download FFmpeg and Yt-dlp manually and place them into your Minecraft instance directory.
- Required directory names: ffmpeg or ffmpeg-win / ffmpeg-linux / ffmpeg-mac depending on your OS, and yt-dlp for yt-dlp.
- The mod will auto-detect them from these directories.
Alternatively, configure the ffmpegExePath, ffprobeExePath, and ytdlpExePath options in narutoloading.json to point directly to the executables.
You need to enable enableUrlForSourceSelection in narutoloading.json, or the yt-dlp feature will not be available.

Video and Audio

Single

Put the video and audio files into the config directory of your game.
Edit narutoloading.json and set videoFileName and audioFileName to the respective file names.
Launch your game and enjoy!

Multiple

Create a directory called narutoloading-sources in the config folder of your game.
Create sub-directories (name them as you like) inside narutoloading-sources.
Each sub-directory should contain a video file and an audio file named video and audio respectively.
Launch your game and enjoy!

In-World Screen Construction

Built with Displayer blocks or Item Frames.

Screen Size

Screens can be built in any aspect ratio and size you like. Earlier versions required 16:9 or 9:16, but this restriction has been removed since 2.2.0. The minimum screen size is 2×2, meaning you need at least 4 Displayers or Item Frames to form a valid screen. The only real limitation is Minecraft's building height limit.

How to Build

Build the border of your screen using Displayers or Item Frames.
Make sure the structure is at least 2×2 in size.
After finishing the structure, sneak + right click the two bottom corners.
The mod will automatically detect the entire screen based on these two corners. Right click any border displayer to open the in-world settings GUI.

Commands for Building a Huge Screen Rapidly

Make sure your render distance and simulation distance are large enough (e.g. 32) before using these.
