! WORK IN PROGRESS !

Unlike the 1.12.2 version of CustomLoadingScreen, BetterLoadingScreen for 1.7.10 supports a very limited set of options.

BetterLoadingScreen always loads the images.json file in <minecraft>/config/BetterLoadingScreen/images.json.

Two example files are provided in preset one.json and preset two.json - these are re-created everytime minecraft loads, so don't touch these!

The images.json file is a json file containing an array of elements to render.

Each element must contain the field type, which determines what the element is. There are 6 different types:

Name	Description
`CLEAR_COLOUR`	The background colour
`STATIC`	An image
`STATIC_TEXT`	Some text
`DYNAMIC_TEXT_STATUS`	The current progress text
`DYNAMIC_TEXT_PERCENTAGE`	The percentage completed, as text (0% to 100%)
`DYNAMIC_PERCENTAGE`	An image, drawn with a width multiplied by the current progress (0 to 1)

This only has one property: colour, which sets the background colour.

For example:

{
  "type": "CLEAR_COLOUR",
  "colour": "FFDD49"
}

will have a background colour of bright yellow.

If you surround that example with [square brackets] (to make an array) and overwrite images.json you will get this:
