Pokeloader

This is Pokeloader! It's a mod that displays a Pokemon themed animation on game startup before the Mojang Studios logo appeaars.

Compatibility

This mod currently prioritizes the maintaining of Fabric and NeoForge platforms. A Forge port could be coming at some point, but I can't say for sure.

Dependencies for this mod's functionality vary by version:

1.19.4 - Present

You will need YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) in order to reach the mod's configuration menus, you will also need Mod Menu (or a suitable alternative).

1.19.3 and older

Builds for 1.19.3 and older are considered legacy and will recieve limited support. If you plan to use them you will need Cloth Config API and Mod Menu (or a suitable alternative) in order to recieve the full functionality these builds provide.

NeoForge

Similar to Fabric, NeoForge requires that you have YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) installed to reach the config menu. At the moment I only offer Neo builds for 1.21.1, however, I am just getting around to porting the mod from Fabric, so I can't guarantee support for much right now.

Forge

For Forge you will need YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) as well as it's Forge dependency Kotlin for Forge

Support, Bugs, and Issues

If you are having issues with the mod or have encountered a bug please report it on my GitHub repository so I can most effectively patch it.

Noteworthy Disclaimer

This is my first operational Minecraft Mod, so the functionality, maintaining, and reliability of this mod should be taken with a grain of salt. Just saying!
