NeoForge WaitScreen
by EricReck
NeoForge WaitScreen shows a dedicated waiting screen to players each time they connect to a server, and skips it for operators and players tagged as administrators.
What it does
When a player connects to a server, the mod displays a dedicated wait screen before the world loads. The screen appears for every ordinary connection, so players see it whenever they join a server or a LAN world hosted by another player.
Server operators (OPs) and players tagged as administrators bypass the wait screen and get instant access on joining. This keeps server management fast, since administrators can enter the world without waiting for the screen to finish. The mod is published for NeoForge only, with 1.0.0 as the latest file for 1.21.1. The server and every player need the mod installed.
