Install in the game only; not needed on the server
InstaLoad
InstaLoad is a Fabric mod that makes world transitions feel instant. Join a server, switch lobbies, respawn, or load a singleplayer world without staring at a loading screen.
Features
- Skips the loading screen on server joins, respawns, and world swaps. The world shows up as soon as it's ready.
- Starts singleplayer worlds without waiting for the spawn region to finish loading (441 chunks on 1.21.x, ticket-based on 26.x). Spawn chunks keep loading in the background.
- Network and world-loading logic keeps running normally. Only the blocking screen layer is replaced or removed.
- If a transfer hangs, a disconnect button appears after 30 seconds so you're never stuck.
Which file do I need?
- Minecraft 26.1.2: the
x.x.x+26.1.2builds. - Minecraft 1.21.x: the
x.x.x+1.21builds. Verified on 1.21.8+.
The builds are version-specific: a 26.1.2 build won't load on 1.21.x and the other way around.
Notes
- Does not touch the resource pack reload overlay. If your server sends a resource pack, that reload is vanilla behavior and this mod stays out of it. Pair it with a dedicated mod such as ResourcePackCached if you want to stop packs reloading on lobby switch.
- A normal client-side install gives you everything, including the singleplayer spawn shortcut. Nothing needs to be installed on servers.
- This project is an independent implementation inspired by the "Optimized World Swapping" of Patcher in 1.8.9 and Fastload in 1.18-1.20.
