Fastload
by StockiesLad
Fastload changes how the game loads a world, so that chunk rendering can start sooner when a player joins or enters a world.
What it does
The mod modifies the world loading process to shorten loading times. Some of the loading screens are replaced with its own implementation. Rendering can begin right away instead of waiting until the player spawn packet arrives, which is the step that normally holds it back.
Fabric, Forge and Quilt builds are available, with files for the game versions 1.18.2, 1.19, 1.19.1, 1.19.2, 1.19.3, 1.19.4, 1.20 and 1.20.1. Installation on a client, on a server, or on both is optional. Snapshot builds are published as well. Fastload is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, and public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker. The latest file for Fabric and Quilt is 3.4.0 for 1.20.1, and the latest Forge file is mc1.20.1-3.4.0 for 1.20.1.

What the author says
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.
