[BeforeWindow] progress bar

[Krutoy242]

Summary

Add any kind of indicator that MC is loading before window appear

Goals

Goal is to add any kind of visual indicator to show that something is actually working.

Non Goals

Forge window duplicate

Motivation

Sitting 1 min without MC

Description

In big modpacks such as E2EE the [BeforeWindow] step takes very long, and all this time there is no indicator that game is loading instead of just broken.

It could be simple spinner on the center of the screen or task bar element.

Dependencies

No response

[Construction] does exist; perhaps you could describe it more clearly.

That's right, it's not easy.
Cleanroom has its own LWJGLTransformer, so we can't use LWJGL until the core mod initializes; otherwise, we'd have to redesign it.

We can have a swing window instead as a workaround.

The LWJGLTransformer isn't for LWJGL classes but for classes that use it, so it shouldn't matter.

Since 0.3 it was transforming lwjgl itself
It can be loaded early, but some part in Display contain reference to Minecraft

As for the problem in this issue, I don't think Mixin will take that much time after CleanMix

Its not only mixins. I dont have exact numbers, but there is many processes. Even if mixins is 80% of this stuff, i dont want players to wait 10 seconds untill window appear, since this looks like a lag.

Perhaps you mean Early Display in this case? For Forge in modern version and Neoforge, the Early Display screen is displayed shortly after the launching progress, before mods are initialized.

Yes, but a "System" from a capital letter sounds like something that will be never implemented.
I'm not asking for a "System" with bars, logos and so on.
I just need a bunch of pixels on my monitor. Zero configuration accepted too.
