(1.21.3) Progress Bar Loading Screens (CLIENT)

[gray ingot]

Hi! I have a mod idea: Progress Bar Loading Screens. What this mod does, is completely remove the default world Loading/Generating indicator (text is retained), and replaces it with a nice, smooth Progress Bar. The bar container shall be dark gray, while the bar itself shall be light grey. Additionally, right next to the percentage text, there could be text that shows the Progress in chunks (e.g: 1/560 Chunks).

[gray ingot]

Anyone willing to dev this (Bump)?

[gray ingot]

@green terrace, does this seem feasible, and within your time scope?

[green terrace]

I’m sure it’s feasible, but I don’t really want to make it.

Sorry.

[gray ingot]

Oh, ok.

[shadow spade]

You mean this right?

https://tenor.com/hA9o0AEPETl.gif

[gray ingot]

Yes it removes that square indicator

It leave sthe text

[shadow spade]

Worth a try, lemme have a look at the code

1.21.4?

[gray ingot]

Oh ok, ty

[shadow spade]

what version?

i mean it should be pretty much the same for all

[gray ingot]

Its in the title of the post : 1.21.3

[shadow spade]

oh

ok

[gray ingot]

Yeah

k

[shadow spade]

And the name should be...?

[gray ingot]

Hmm...

[shadow spade]

(just so I know for the project files lol)

[gray ingot]

Refined World Progress idk

[shadow spade]

Better World Loader

Refined World Loader

hm

[shadow spade]

I might add a feature too where you can see exactly what's generating at that point

[gray ingot]

OOh interesting

Cool

[shadow spade]

This is fun lol the idea crossed my mind before but I never had a real reason to make it

Better World Loading

[gray ingot]

Alright 👍

[gray ingot]

Yoo

Nice

[shadow spade]

Is that kind of bar OK or do you want the classic minecraft bar?

the one from like the resource reloading screen

[gray ingot]

HMMM

I like that bar too....

Hmm

Let's see...

I think I'll stick with the one you just made

[shadow spade]

Lemme add the chunk counter

[gray ingot]

Oh alright ✅

[gray ingot]

👏 👍 - Nice

Love it

[shadow spade]

that's it fullsize

[gray ingot]

Also - I thought of a small enhancement idea, where a high-pitched, quiet "tick" sound plays, every time the bar gets more filled - just an idea. Mod looks great man.

Do you have a github?

I wanna follow u

[shadow spade]

I have modrinth, does that work? I post some unrelated coding stuff on my git

https://modrinth.com/user/h1ggsk

[gray ingot]

Oh ok yeah I could follow u there

Followed the cactus dupe mod - interesting idea

Also nice skin

Ender-style Terminal Icon 👍

[shadow spade]

Thanks! It's my ingame skin

[gray ingot]

Oh nice!

Np

[shadow spade]

I'll see about that ticking sound, hang on

[gray ingot]

Oh, alright 👍

[shadow spade]

Man it's easy to code

but hard to find a good sound

I'll pick one tmr, it's getting late

Let me know if you think of anything

[gray ingot]

Alr

Imma play some sounds in MC and send you the sound ID

for the "tick" I thought of.

[shadow spade]

alr gn

[gray ingot]

Gn!

🌜

[gray ingot]

Ok, I think I have found the sound ID for the "tick" sound: minecraft:block.note_block.hat (VOL: 1.5F, PITCH: 2.0F).

[shadow spade]

Oh that's perfect!

Do you want me to send you the mod so you can test it?

I'll release it for 1.21.x probably

[shadow spade]

I'm adding MidnightLib to enable/disable the sound and the chunk info

[gray ingot]

Hmm, I never like to install libraries, tbh; will it be embedded though?

[gray ingot]

Yeah that'll be great!

[shadow spade]

Lemme check

Testing now...

[shadow spade]

Fabric API is fine, right?

[gray ingot]

Ofc! I have like 80+ mods installed, and they basically all need it.

So yeah alr!

[shadow spade]

No library needed!

[unreal glacier]

fire

[muted prism]

Wait this is super cool, actually
Would you be able to port this to 1.21.1? I would love to use this

[shadow spade]

Yes, i'm releasing 1.21.1, 1.21.3, and 1.21.4

just waiting on an icon from a friend then I submit it to modrinth review

[muted prism]

Neat, really love this mod

[shadow spade]

I feel like it provides better info, the other screen was cool but not super interesting

[muted prism]

Yeah lol, I love the chunk loading text

[shadow spade]

It has optional info about what's generating too

https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/bmOyRapU/images/da8f540f2f425e173ffc088b697d255fcf933ec6.png

(toggleable with midnightlib)

[muted prism]

Oh wow, yeah that's really cool! I have MidnightLib already (for another mod) and will definitely add this to my pack

[shadow spade]

Also TIL you don't need the midnightlib mod itself

like the jar file

Apparently it is compiled into your mod automatically

I was glad to hear that because it makes it easier for people to install

I never like to install libraries, tbh

[muted prism]

Yeah same lol, I don't like it much either

[muted prism]

Very good info for sure

[gray ingot]

Also the mod works well for me, thanks @shadow spade: great job!!!

So will it be hosted on Modrinth and Curseforge?

[shadow spade]

If people want CF I can do it, but I don't agree with the way they're run

I'd prefer just Modrinth

[gray ingot]

👍

[shadow spade]

I should do 1.21.5 too

[gray ingot]

Niceee

[shadow spade]

submitted to modrinth

Just waiting now

[gray ingot]

Alriiight! Good luck on the mod's download count!

[gray ingot]

Ayyyy nice

[muted prism]

Looks great

[shadow spade]

still under review

[shadow spade]

Guys it's out!

[muted prism]

Hell yeah, finally

[gray ingot]

@muted prism "Hell yeah" is correct!!

[gray ingot]

Nice!

[shadow spade]

😄

[muted prism]

@shadow spade sorry to ask since I know people hate mentions of neoforge in this discord, but do you plan to port this? I love this mod and want to use it in my new modpack

[shadow spade]

Yes, I plan to port it to (neo)forge, I was already approached by a development team wanting to use it in their pack

[muted prism]

Oh nice, good news

[uneven raptor]

Hmm 🤔

Aww it's arr

[shadow spade]

finally got it to work for the development team

time to port to (neo)forge 😄

[muted prism]

[shadow spade]

[neo]forge is out, just waiting on approval from curseforge

someone wants 1.20.1 fabric too

[muted prism]

nice work, appreciate it 🙏

[shadow spade]

hey i'm glad y'all like it

This is my first mod to really take off

It's being added to all of the Better Minecraft and MedievalMC packs form luna pixel studios

[unreal glacier]

glad to have witnessed the rise of better world loading

[atomic vortex]

sorry if I sound like the licensing police here

but you should probably change the license to GPL3 or something

ARR is a pretty harmful license for derivatives and stuff

https://choosealicense.com/no-permission/#for-users

[green terrace]

Sorry if I sound like the licensing police here, but I’m pretty sure that GPL is not a valid license for mods since mods have to link with Minecraft’s (ARR) code. LGPL, yes. But I’d usually recommend against copyleft licenses, as they reduce the freedom of any future authors to choose the license that is the best fit for their situation.

-# (Note: I was trying to funny, not sarcastic, by mirroring the format of your message)

[shadow spade]

Lol I'm glad to have made it

It's taking off a good amount

[unreal glacier]

nice

the 1.4 modrinth monies are gonna start hitting soon

[shadow spade]

(I might be picky + selfish but I prefer to not have someone use my code, I'm always available to talk to and if someone has a bug or feature request I'm always willing to consider it)

[shadow spade]

Oh they are

🤑

[green terrace]

And I have no problem with that. 4194304 might, but I don’t.

[atomic vortex]

I see

that's perfectly fine

I thought that possibly you just didn't choose a license

[shadow spade]

no, I picked arr for a reason

[shadow spade]

135 downloads so far

135k*

[gray ingot]

K???

[wanton mist]

it has 2k

[green terrace]

Wow, that’s a lot.

[shadow spade]

K

who knew BetterMC was so popular

[shadow spade]

@gray ingot

mojang ripped me off lol

[unreal glacier]

yooooooo i was about to come here to say this

From Idea to Implementation: The Rise of Progress Bar

[shadow spade]

Is that something to be proud of?

Honestly theirs looks kinda shitty the green doesn't fit in very well

I got ROASTED on reddit trying to ask people's opinion

😭

[unreal glacier]

i am thoroughly proud of it

e en though it is quite a common idea

[shadow spade]

Thank you lol

I kinda needed to hear that rn

[unreal glacier]

indeed. brightness awaits all

[fallow cave]

they did the exact same thing with my debug keys anywhere mod too lmao, like that mod is basically just in vanilla now

[random tendon]

its just the same looking progress they had before it was replaced by the chunk loading thing

its not new

[random tendon]

oh the old green progress bar was actually removed a long time ago before the square existed

[gray ingot]

Yeah!!

[unreal glacier]

from commission to completion

from request to reality

[gray ingot]

Hmmhm

Throw 10 more 🌟

Loll

[shadow spade]

i'm working on better world saving

kinda

in the background

[gray ingot]

Ok

Nice

[unreal glacier]

my bro got the vanilla feature on a crt

[gray ingot]

Bro what

is that even real

An actual CRT

running the game on it brooo???

WOOOOOO This mod BOOOMMEDD WHAAAA:

NICEEEEE

[shadow spade]

what are you looking at 😭 look at curseforge

[shadow spade]

and yes it is nice 😄

[gray ingot]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGGG.... That is actually just viral now bro congrats

Bro I didn't know my post would of gotten you this far let's goooooooo

[atomic vortex]

I feel like one day that'll happen to me lol

[shadow spade]

It will

I'm sure 🙏

[shadow spade]

real XD

[shadow spade]

I get like $65/month from this lol

obviously not living off that but it pays for 2b2t prio and whatever else I feel like buying on a whim

[atomic vortex]

I made this resource pack for 1.12.2 that allows you to load 1.13+ packs

it's been out for 2 years

I think it would definitely take off if it was a resource pack packaged as a mod

[serene sinew]

I just read through that thread, this is such a wild story, considering the fact how many downloads this mod now has lmao

Good job guys, really! Congrats 🎉

[shadow spade]

Thank you!

[blissful lava]

what’s the split between curse and modrinth? cause your downloads on curse are way higher but then modrinth pays way higher

[shadow spade]

Curse pays $65/month

Mr pays next to nothing atm

[blissful lava]

oh right, i wouldn’t have thought it’s too bad, i get like $1 / 100 downloads give or take

[shadow spade]

I only recently uploaded the forge versions

i'll probably have a better idea in like a month or two

[blissful lava]

ah i see

[blissful lava]

did you multiload or just make them separately?
