Fast Assets

by ProstoMaslo

Fast Assets cuts the time a client spends checking resource packs by skipping asset checks for packs that need no changes.

What it does

Fast Assets skips loading assets from resource packs that a player does not need to modify, so the game avoids checking and reading files it would not use. A configuration file lets players enable or disable the mod's behavior. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and only the client needs the mod.

Key features

  1. Skips unneeded pack assets

    Asset files from resource packs that are useless to the player are left unloaded during startup.

  2. Pack-level ignore rules

    Ignored assets can be declared inside a pack's pack.mcmeta file, so pack authors can mark which files to skip.

  3. Configurable behavior

    A configuration file turns the skipping on or off, letting players keep default loading when needed.

Questions

Does Fast Assets need to be on the server?

No. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it.
