Use a Slideshow for that 🙂
Drippy is an addon for FancyMenu, so you make the slideshow in FancyMenu and then use it in the Drippy loading screen.

Docs: Slideshows

If you want, I can also tell you where to put the images and how to set it up step by step.

[worn oak]

I have the slideshow folder set up with all my images, and have it layed out. How do I make a slideshow so I can use the stuff?

[gentle elk]

Yep — once the folder is ready, you need the properties.txt file inside that slideshow folder.

For a slideshow to work, the folder needs this structure:

• /config/fancymenu/slideshows/your_slideshow_name/properties.txt
• /config/fancymenu/slideshows/your_slideshow_name/images/

And properties.txt should contain something like this:

type = slideshow

slideshow-meta {
   name = cool_slideshow
   width = 1920
   height = 1080
   x = 0
   y = 0
   duration = 5.0
   fadespeed = 12.0
   randomize = false
}

Then:

• put your PNG images into the images folder
• restart the game or use Customization -> Reload FancyMenu
• after that, you can select the slideshow in the Slideshow element or as a menu background

Docs: Slideshows

If you want, I can also help you make it randomize, loop, or fit your screen size properly ✨

Alr that worked, so how can I make a custom loading screeen for joining servers

[gentle elk]

Yes — that’s the world loading screen in FancyMenu/Drippy.

To customize it:

1. Open the game
2. Open the menu bar with CTRL + ALT + C if needed
3. Go to Customization
4. Enable Current Screen Customization for the loading screen-related screen
5. Create a layout for the current screen
6. Add your elements there

Important: the world loading screen is not the same as the game loading screen / splash screen.
Drippy is for the game loading screen. For joining servers/worlds, you customize the world loading screen with FancyMenu itself.

Docs:

• World Loading Screens
• Positioning Elements

If you want, I can tell you exactly which screen to open for joining servers and how to make a layout for it.

Can I make it so my slideshow has no fade transition? It just switches images

[gentle elk]

Yes 🙂
In the slideshow’s properties.txt, set:

fadespeed = 0.0

That should make the switch as instant as possible.

Docs: Slideshows

If you want, I can also help you make the images switch at a specific timing.

[worn oak]

I did that but now my slideshow is showing a black and pnik texture

[gentle elk]

That usually means the slideshow files aren’t being read correctly.

Please check these first:

• your images are PNG files
• they are inside the images folder
• properties.txt is named exactly that
• the slideshow folder structure is correct
• the slideshow was reloaded with Customization -> Reload FancyMenu

If it still shows black/pink, please send a screenshot of:

• the slideshow folder structure
• your properties.txt

Then I can take a closer look 🙂

[worn oak]

Okay so I fixed the black pink issue but despite me having the speed set to 0.0 it still does a fading animation

[gentle elk]

Yep — fadespeed = 0.0 does not fully disable the fade in FancyMenu sliders/slideshow transitions.

For slideshows, the fade is part of how they transition between images, so a completely instant switch isn’t supported there.

If you want hard cuts with no fade at all, I can’t confirm a built-in option for that from the docs. You may need to keep a very fast fade instead.

Docs: Slideshows

If you want, I can also check whether using an animated FMA instead would fit your use case better.

[worn oak]

how fast can I make the fade be?

[gentle elk]

The docs don’t give a minimum fade value, so I can’t safely promise an exact fastest setting.

For slideshows, fadespeed is just the fade speed multiplier, so you can try a higher value to make it fade faster. For example, 12.0 is the example value in the docs.

Docs: Slideshows

If you want, I can help you tune it for a near-instant swap while still keeping the slideshow working.

[worn oak]

Okay so I have the duration for how long an image should stay before changing at 25 seconds and its switching faster than that, why?

[gentle elk]

The slideshow duration in the docs is in seconds, so 25.0 should mean 25 seconds per image.

If it’s switching earlier than that, the most likely causes are:

• the slideshow was not reloaded after editing properties.txt
• the file format/spacing is off and the settings aren’t being applied as expected
• another layout or background is overriding it

Please try:

1. Save properties.txt
2. Use Customization -> Reload FancyMenu
3. Make sure there’s only one active slideshow/background using it

Docs: Slideshows

If it still happens, send a screenshot of your properties.txt and folder structure and I’ll take a look at what’s wrong 🙂

[worn oak]

this is the file formatting, Ill reload fancy menu. Does the game have to be restarted also?

[gentle elk]

Yes — after changing properties.txt, it’s a good idea to restart Minecraft if Reload FancyMenu doesn’t update it properly.

From your screenshot, the file format looks fine, but one thing stands out:

• randomize = true

That only changes the order, not the timing, so it’s okay.
But if the slideshow still switches faster than 25.0, restarting is the next thing I’d try after a reload.

So:

1. Save the file
2. Use Customization -> Reload FancyMenu
3. If it still acts weird, fully restart the game

Docs: Slideshows

If it still ignores the duration after a restart, send me a screenshot of the slideshow folder contents too, please 🙂

Requested by gatherstep

[worn oak]

To the human helpers the tl;dr is: no matter how long I set the slideshow duration to it still switches really fast. I have it set at 25 seconds an image, but its switching after 6 seconds

[gentle elk]

Thanks — the key detail is the duration is being ignored, not just set wrong.

Please try these two things:

1. Restart Minecraft after saving properties.txt
2. Make sure there isn’t another slideshow/background overriding this one

If it still switches after that, I can’t debug the file further here — please use the Request Human Help button so a human can inspect the setup and the full context.
