NoInternet
by 2eGJHf8
NoInternet is a client-side Fabric optimization that blocks non-whitelisted network requests during game startup, so the launch does not wait on update checks and similar calls.
What it does
During the startup phase, NoInternet intercepts outgoing network requests and blocks any that do not match the whitelist. Requests that are allowed go through unchanged. The interception stops once the game reaches the TitleScreen, so normal online features work after the main menu appears. The stated aim is shorter startup time by removing calls that other factors would otherwise hold up.
The whitelist is a configuration file. Entries can match by prefix, and matching checks the full URL, meaning domain, path and parameters together. A missing or invalid whitelist is treated as a safe default so that requests are not allowed by mistake. Blocked connections are routed through invalid proxy ports that are generated at the first startup, and an optional log can record each interception. Descriptions in the config are translated with DeepL.
The mod requires Fabric API and is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so the code is open source and public domain. Its source code is published, and it is available for 1.21.4 – 1.21.9 with the latest file 1.0.3 for 1.21.9, released 2025-10-01. Because it is client-side only, servers do not need it.
Key features
Startup request blocking
Non-whitelisted network requests are blocked while the game starts, which keeps unneeded update checks from delaying launch.
Whitelist configuration
A configuration file lists allowed requests, with several matching methods including prefix matching.
Full URL matching
Matching covers the domain, path and parameters, so a rule can allow one exact address and nothing else.
Optional interception log
Blocked requests can be written to a log for later reading, and the option can be turned off.
Automatic stop at the title screen
Interception ends when the game reaches the TitleScreen, leaving online features available afterward.
