"Cannot remove from team" workaround
"Cannot remove from team" workaround is a Fabric client mod that stops a scoreboard exception from causing lag spikes on some servers.
What it does
The mod targets an IllegalStateException thrown on the render thread when Scoreboard.removeScoreHolderFromTeam is called. On certain buggy servers the error appears as an error while executing a client task, and the resulting stalls show up as lag spikes. Installing the mod on the client removes those spikes by handling the failing call. It runs only on the client, so servers need nothing and players join without installing anything else. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.20.3 and 1.20.4, with 1.0.1 for 1.20.4 as the latest file.

What the author says
One thing this mod does is it replaces IllegalStateException throwing with LOGGER.warn(). Though I'm not a Java coding guru, I don't understand why the exception is thrown on render thread.
