Quests Freeze Fix

Source-provided project description. FreeMinecraftMods keeps creator credit and adds separate compatibility and decision guidance below.

Project overview

This is a simple fix mod for FTB Quests that caches the Quests menu on startup to prevent freezing in game. Tested in packs such as Prominence II RPG, where it prevents a 10 second lag spike when opening the quest book for the first time. How does this work? FTB Quests needs to initialize Minecraft's Creative mode text search provider, which is not done by default in survival Minecraft since it's never used. This involves looping over every item in the game, fetching all of the tooltip contents, and processing them all. In large modpacks, with lots of items and quests, this scales up exponentially with more mods that add more text to items. This mod can't fix that, as it's actually important that all of that gets cached so that things work properly. But, what it can do is cache it on startup while the user is still in a loading screen, so that once they're in game, there won't be any random freezing. This adds a couple seconds to loading times (depending on how long the freeze would have been) but saves the headache of having the game randomly freeze during gameplay.

FreeMinecraftMods decision guide

This mod is most relevant to players looking for Bug Fixes on Fabric, Forge. Treat those labels as discovery hints, then verify the exact file and dependency list on the official project page.

The latest stored update signal is Feb 1, 2025. Older projects can still work well, but they deserve extra compatibility testing before being added to a current world or public server.

What to verify before choosing a file

• Confirm that the file is published by the credited creator on the linked official source.
• Match the Minecraft version exactly instead of relying only on a broad category label.
• Read dependencies, incompatibilities, and changelog notes before updating an existing instance.
• Match the loader or server platform and its required version. Forge and NeoForge are not interchangeable.
• Back up worlds and configuration files before testing the project in a long-term save or public server.
