What it does

The mod is a Forge utility for the 1.7.10 game version. Its main job is to block connections that the game would otherwise make to the network during startup, which shortens the time the game takes to boot. Only the Forge 1.0 build for 1.7.10 is listed, released on 2025-07-08 under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, and the code is open source.

Key features

  1. Blocks unwanted connections

    Network requests that the game makes without need are stopped, so they do not hold up startup.

  2. Faster boot

    By skipping those connections, the game reaches its menus sooner when it starts.

  3. Works beside LWJGL3ify

    The mod is meant for instances that run LWJGL3ify, and it can also serve as a fork of NonUpdate-Modern for that setup.

Questions

Does NonUpdate-Retro need LWJGL3ify?

The mod is intended for instances that use LWJGL3ify. Instances that run the original NonUpdate without LWJGL3ify are not the target of its design.

Does the server need NonUpdate-Retro?

No. Either side can run it, and neither the server nor the client has to have it installed.
