0Pack2Reload
Prevent Minecraft from reloading the resource packs if the player doesn't really change the selected packs. Also add a "Cancel" button to PackSelectionScreen.
About this Mod
📖 Introduction
Minecraft always loads some base resource packs such as:
- vanilla (the game's default resources)
- mod_resources (resources added by mods)
However, before the player opens the resource pack screen for the first time, the game's options.txt still records resourcepacks=[] as empty.
So when opening the resource pack selection screen before creating or joining a world, even if the player does nothing (no adding, removing, or reordering), clicking "Done" or pressing Esc will still cause Minecraft to incorrectly think new resource packs were added, and it will forcibly reload them.
This reload process can be very slow, especially when many modded resource packs are involved.
✅ What This Mod Does
This mod introduces two features to avoid this unnecessary waste of time:
If the user hasn’t made any actual changes to the resource pack list, pressing Esc or clicking “Done” will no longer trigger a reload.
An extra "Cancel" button was added to the resource pack screen, intended to exit without triggering any logic at all.
(However, after 1.20, due to technical limitations in Minecraft, resource pack validation always runs when the screen closes, making the Cancel button behave nearly the same as Done in most cases.
As a result, the Cancel button was removed in the 1.21.1 NeoForge version.)
The additional "Cancel" button:

Does 0Pack2Reload need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks 0Pack2Reload as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.
Which version and loader does 0Pack2Reload require?
Use a file for fabric, forge, neoforge and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.1, 1.20.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
0Pack2Reload is not working – what should I check?
First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
