Loading world screen

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

Java Edition

The loading screen in Java Edition shows a chunk colormap, which is a 35×35 square that visualizes the rendering of the initial chunks. 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.

Bedrock Edition

The loading screen in Bedrock Edition shows the menu screen panorama in the background with an experience progress bar, and loading tips. Unlike in Java Edition, menu music continues playing until the player spawns, where it will fade out.

Depending on the game's world options, specific loading tips will appear, for example when the world has add-ons or Creative mode. The loading sequence is always ended with "Survive", "Create", or "Let's Go!" depending on the game mode, and some other messages may appear depending on the situation.

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

When playing on servers or multiplayer worlds, the loading screen shows when it is connecting to the server with a button to cancel the progress. This may happen during play in gatherings as the player travels between internal servers.

When connecting to a multiplayer game using mobile data, if enabled in the settings, an indicator is shown on the top-right.
