Fastload
Modifies how worlds are loaded to speed up loading times.
About this Mod
NOTICE!!!!!!
I (StockiesLad) have quit modding again. This will explain the absence of updates. Why again? It's just not fun anymore and I am always worried about once again being embedded in annoying discord drama that somehow manages to suck every bit of enjoyment out of modding. There hasn't been anyone willing to step up and take over development and that's partly my fault. This notice is months late. If you enjoy fastload and intend to maintain it, just contact me on discord for a discussion. Please keep in mind that I won't respond quickly because I don't really use discord much at all anymore. Thank you for taking your time to read this!

Explanation
The 441 chunk loading engine is pretty much what the name is. The reason for it being 441 chunks is that
it generates chunks in a 10 chunk radius as a square. So multiply that by 2, add 1 (because you are standing
on a chunk) and square it. Fastload removes this feature as it is a huge waste of time. Instead, it will
only load 1 chunk (the spawn chunk) and loads the rest of the spawn region during early rendering.
Along with that, it also replaces some of the loading screens with its own implementation. This pretty much
allows rendering to begin immediately instead of it being halted until the player spawn packet is received.

Fastload server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 4 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Fastload compatible with fabric and forge and quilt?
Fastload officially supports fabric, forge, quilt for Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.20, 23w16a. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Fastload – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 6 GB (per 5 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Fastload consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
