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.
This is what it looks like when you are using the mod.
You can download the mod from any of these sites:
Install this as you would any other Fabric mod. (I recommend using [Prism
Launcher](prismlauncher.org/) as Minecraft launcher for modded
Minecraft.)
Do you have any problems with the mod? Please open an issue on GitHub.
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.
Check out my other mods, which also supplies vanilla-style usability enhancements:
Status Effect Timer is a
Minecraft mod for Fabric that overlays a timer on the Vanilla status effect HUD
icons.
Mod Settings is a Minecraft mod for
Fabric that provides an easy to access configuration screen for all installed
mods.
Elytra Indicators is a Minecraft
mod for Fabric that provides Vanilla-style "fly by instrument" support for
elytra flight.

This mod runs only on your own game. Servers do not need it, so you can use it on any server.
Install Fabric for Minecraft 1.21 – 26.x.
Download the .jar file from Modrinth and put it in the mods folder of your .minecraft directory.
Start Minecraft with the Fabric profile.
Easier: in Prism Launcher or the Modrinth App, search for Immersive Loading in your instance's mods and click Install. It adds the loader and the mods it needs for you.
