The '''loading world screen''' is a screen displayed when generating or loading a [[Minecraft:world]]. It shows the percentage of the loading progress.

== ''Java Edition'' ==
{{Update|Spawn chunks have been removed, update this section accordingly|section=1}}[[File:Chunk colormap.gif|thumb|Chunk colormap of [[Seed (world generation)|seed]] 0.]]

The loading screen {{in|Java}} 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 {{cd|[[Minecraft:Game rule|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 [[Minecraft:panorama]] is shown in the background.

== ''Bedrock Edition'' ==
[[File:Bedrock Loading Screen.png|alt=|thumb|The loading screen in ''Bedrock Edition''.]]
The loading screen {{in|bedrock}} shows the menu screen [[Minecraft:panorama]] in the background with an [[Minecraft:experience]] progress bar, and [[Minecraft:loading tips]]. Unlike in ''Java Edition'', menu [[Minecraft: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 [[Minecraft:add-on]]s or [[Minecraft:Creative]] mode. The loading sequence is always ended with "[[Minecraft:Survival|Survive]]", "[[Minecraft:Creative|Create]]", or "[[Minecraft:Adventure|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'' [[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 [[Minecraft:servers]] or [[Minecraft: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 [[Minecraft:Gathering|gatherings]] as the player travels between internal servers.

When connecting to a multiplayer game using mobile data, if enabled in the [[Minecraft:settings]], an indicator is shown on the top-right.<gallery>
