Description from the author on Modrinth

Immersive Loading

This is a Minecraft mod for Fabric that replaces the background panorama with a
screenshot of the world you are entering. This gives a smooth transition into
the world and makes it feel more immersive. This screenshot will also be shown
while saving a local world. It works on both local worlds and servers.

Screenshot

This is what it looks like when you are using the mod.

Download

You can download the mod from any of these sites:

Installation

Install this as you would any other Fabric mod. (I recommend using [Prism
Launcher](prismlauncher.org/) as Minecraft launcher for modded
Minecraft.)

Support

Do you have any problems with the mod? Please open an issue on GitHub.

Acknowledgements

This mod was inspired by [Seamless Loading
Screen](modrinth.com/mod/seamless-loading-screen), but that mod has not
been updated since Minecraft 1.21.1, and it always felt a bit overcomplicated
to me. So instead of trying to bring that up to date on modern Minecraft, I
decided to create a new mod that is simpler and more lightweight.
