Prevent Lag Spikes When Switching Packs

Understand Background Loading

The mod is already designed to load texture files in the background, which prevents the game freeze that normally happens when you reload resource packs. This happens automatically—you don't need to enable it.

Keep Your Game Running Smoothly

When you press the toggle key, the mod loads your pack's textures while you continue playing. You may notice a brief moment of visual updating, but the game loop stays active and you won't experience a full pause.

Optimize Your Setup

If you're using very large or complex resource packs, toggling between them may still cause minor performance dips. To minimize this:

  • Avoid toggling packs during intense moments (combat, building in tight spaces)
  • Close unnecessary background applications to free up system resources
  • Consider using smaller, simpler packs for frequent toggling

Monitor Performance

Watch the toast notifications to see when your pack is actively loading. The background loading system handles the heavy lifting so you don't have to pause the game.
