๐Ÿ“‹ About This Mod

# ๐Ÿš€ SmoothJoin **Say goodbye to login lag spikes! ## Description ### โ“ The Problem Does your game freeze or lag heavily when you join a server or load a single-player world? This happens because Minecraft tries to load and render all chunks around you at once. For lower-end PCs or heavy modpacks, this causes a massive CPU spike, freezing your screen for seconds. ### โœ… The Solution **SmoothJoin** solves this by temporarily lowering your render distance to the minimum (2 chunks) **before** the world finishes loading. Once you are safely in the game, it waits for a few seconds and then **progressively restores** your render distance to your original setting. ### โœจ Features * **Smart Init:** Detects the connection start and lowers load immediately. * **Lag-Free Entry:** Drastically reduces the "Building Terrain" load time. * **Progressive Restoration:** Slowly increases view distance (e.g., 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4) to prevent secondary lag spikes. * **Safety Lock:** Automatically restores your settings if you disconnect or crash during the process. * **Client-Side Only:** You don't need to install this on the server. ### โš™๏ธ How it works 1. **Connect:** You join a server. Mod sets render distance to *2*. 2. **Wait:** Game loads quickly. Mod waits for ~20 seconds (buffer time). 3. **Restore:** Mod increases render distance by **1 chunk every second**. 4. **Done:** You enjoy a smooth view without freezing! **Incompatible with Concurrent Chunk Management Engine**

## Description

### โ“ The Problem Does your game freeze or lag heavily when you join a server or load a single-player world? This happens because Minecraft tries to load and render all chunks around you at once. For lower-end PCs or heavy modpacks, this causes a massive CPU spike, freezing your screen for seconds.

### โœ… The Solution SmoothJoin solves this by temporarily lowering your render distance to the minimum (2 chunks) before the world finishes loading. Once you are safely in the game, it waits for a few seconds and then progressively restores* your render distance to your original setting.

### โœจ Features Smart Init: Detects the connection start and lowers load immediately. Lag-Free Entry: Drastically reduces the "Building Terrain" load time. Progressive Restoration: Slowly increases view distance (e.g., 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4) to prevent secondary lag spikes. Safety Lock: Automatically restores your settings if you disconnect or crash during the process. Client-Side Only: You don't need to install this on the server.

### โš™๏ธ How it works 1. Connect: You join a server. Mod sets render distance to 2. 2. Wait: Game loads quickly. Mod waits for ~20 seconds (buffer time). 3. Restore: Mod increases render distance by 1 chunk every second. 4. Done: You enjoy a smooth view without freezing!
