Kenny's Epic Force Close Loading Screen Mod shortens the terrain loading screen that appears when joining a server or switching worlds on Fabric.
What it does
Since 1.18.2, the client closes the world loading screen only after the chunk it occupies has arrived and at least two seconds have passed. By default this mod removes that wait, and an option lets players drop the screen entirely. The same change also fixes a problem where the terrain screen could stay open for about 30 seconds on Paper servers, and an infinite-loading problem on join and respawn.
The resource pack loading screen is shortened as well, by dropping its forced fade-in and fade-out. The gain is most noticeable with packs that load quickly. The mod runs on the client alone, and the server does not need it. It is open source under the MIT License and has Fabric files for 1.18.2 – 26.3, with 2.3.7 as the latest build, dated 2026-09-19.
The behavior of the wait removal and the full screen option is documented for the early builds of the mod, covering the 1.18.2 – 1.19.2 range. Newer builds are listed on the same page.
Key features
Instant terrain screen close
The terrain screen closes as soon as the chunk is received, without the built-in two second delay.
Optional screen removal
A setting removes the world loading screen completely when joining a server or changing worlds.
Faster resource pack loading
The forced fade-in and fade-out of the resource pack loading screen are removed, so quick packs finish sooner.
Paper server fix
The terrain screen no longer stalls for about 30 seconds when the server runs Paper.

What the author says
This mod also drastically reduces the resource pack loading screen duration by simply removing the forced fade-in and fade-out, which will be especially obvious on otherwise fast loading packs. This also happens to fix a Sodium issue of having a 30 seconds long loading terrains screen on Paper servers.
