Epic Force Close Loading Screen Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn off the world loading screen completely?
On 1.19.3+ builds the mod already fully disables the world loading screen by default, so no configuration is needed. If you still see it, check that no other mod or resource pack is overriding the loading screen behavior.
How do I keep the "Joining World..." screen instead of skipping it?
The mod's default behavior skips the semi-transparent "Joining World..." screen, but you can change this in the mod's config to restore the vanilla-style screen. Look for the option that controls whether the joining screen is hidden or shown.
Why does my player position look wrong right after joining a world?
Skipping the loading screen can cause a brief client-to-server position desync, especially on Vanilla servers. This is temporary and usually corrects itself within a moment; if it bothers you, re-enable the joining screen in the config.
How does this mod speed up resource pack loading?
It removes the forced fade-in and fade-out along with the minimum screen duration that vanilla enforces on the resource pack loading screen. This is most noticeable with resource packs that already load quickly.
Does this mod work on servers like Paper or modded servers?
Yes, it works on Paper and modded servers, where you'll typically just see the loading screen flash briefly or not at all. The position desync issue is mainly a Vanilla concern and is less noticeable on these server types.
Will this mod break anything on multiplayer servers?
It only affects the client-side loading screens, so it won't change server behavior or get you kicked. The only side effect is the possible brief position desync when joining, which resolves on its own.
Can I configure which loading screens get skipped?
Yes, the mod provides config options for the world loading screen, the joining screen, and the resource pack loading screen. You can toggle each behavior independently depending on what you want to keep or skip.
Why do I still see the loading screen sometimes?
Another mod or a resource pack may be overriding the loading screen, or the screen you're seeing is the joining screen rather than the terrain loading screen. Check your config and other mods that touch loading screens.
Does this mod improve performance or just hide screens?
It doesn't improve actual game performance; it only removes the forced delays and fades on loading screens. The perceived speed-up comes from cutting the artificial minimum screen time, not from faster loading itself.
Is this mod compatible with other loading screen mods?
It can conflict with other mods that modify the same loading screens, since both may try to control the same behavior. If you notice the screens behaving oddly, disable the overlapping mod or adjust the config so only one mod handles each screen.
