Loading screen gif

[Kzitold]

Could you please explain the exact constraints for a custom loading screen gif?

[Kzitold]

At the time the loading screen runs there is nothing set up regarding resource packs or anything yet. There isn't really a way to change the gif.

So does ".minecraft\resources\assets\fml\textures\gui\forge.gif" not change it anymore?

Oh, yes I guess you could put it there in the default resource location.

Well, it has to have the same dimensions as the real one.

Resolution, frames, or total file size? Seems just matching the resolution doesn't work.

Looking at the code, as long as you put any valid image there (doesn't even have to be a gif, just have the ".gif" extension) the code will load and display it. It doesn't even need to match in size.
