This may take a while
by Fishy_Dish
This may take a while adds a line of text to the new world generation screen so players can tell the game has not frozen during long loads.
What it does
While a new world is being generated, the screen shows a message saying the world is still being created. The text is there so players on heavy modpacks, where world creation can take a long time, know the game is still working. The mod is client-side only, so servers and other players do not need it. Forge is the only loader it targets, with a single file for 1.20.1 published on 2025-10-04.
