Loading world screen

The loading world screen is a screen displayed when generating or loading a world. It shows the percentage of the loading progress.

Java Edition

Chunk colormap of seed 0.

The loading screen in Java Edition shows a chunk colormap, which is a square that visualizes the rendering of the initial chunks, the radius of which is equal to the value of spawnChunkRadius + 13. It populates with colored pixels that change color and expand as chunks load. Each pixel represents a chunk, and the color represents the chunk status. Like on other menu screens in Java Edition, a blurred and darkened view of the panorama is shown in the background.

The loading screen in Bedrock Edition shows the menu screen panorama in the background with an experience progress bar, and loading tips.

Depending on the game's world options, specific loading tips will appear, for example when the world has add-ons or Creative mode.

When connecting to a world in Minecraft Realms, a unique backround is shown. Furthermore, the current server region for the Realm and the ping are shown below the loading tips.
