About this Mod

ChatLagFix Logo

This is a small client-side mod for Fabric Minecraft 1.21.11. It prevents the game from freezing or stuttering when chat messages are received or sent on servers.

In vanilla Minecraft, the game processes chat messages on the main render thread. This is the same thread that draws the game to your screen. When a message arrives, the game stops everything to do several heavy tasks:

If any of these tasks take even a few milliseconds, your game will stutter. If they take longer, your game will freeze until the task finishes.

This mod intercepts chat messages the moment they arrive and moves the heavy processing to a dedicated background thread. This allows the main game thread to continue rendering frames without interruption.

Because the processing happens in the background, you might notice a very slight delay before a message appears in your chat box, but your framerate will remain smooth and consistent.

This was only tested on offline mode I am not even sure if it's a real problem in online mode. But the processing is done same everywhere so it should work for anyone

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ChatLagFix need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks ChatLagFix 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 ChatLagFix require?

Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.11. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

ChatLagFix 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.
