no problems on 1.22.7 with a heftier mod list.

Never had problems with this, on 1.22.3, for anyone wondering.

This should honestly be vanilla. I'm always doing something while loading up the game, so thank you so much for making it <3

update please, or someone make a copy that works

MightBeAPotato oh damn, does it still not work?

Doesn't seem to work in 1.21.6, loaded in as usual, but as soon as the loading screen went away i heard a ripping sound and saw a death message in chat, even though it should've been paused.

Yet another mod I found myself begging for in the Discord lol, you're the GOAT

Genius! Why oh why isn't this vanilla?

Shava, Oct 30th 2025 at 7:38 PM

I have wished for this!  Thank you.

 

Honestly, it should be base game behavior.
