Block common mods from connecting to the internet without affecting the mods' functionality, preventing slow loading or game crashes caused by network issues.
Why This Mod Exists
Because in certain regions with strict network censorship, accessing specific websites is impossible. For example, in China, websites like Patreon and GitHub are blocked and cannot be accessed normally. However, some popular mods, such as Quark, have included code that requests these websites, and when these requests fail, it can cause the game to stutter or crash. These issues typically occur during server startup or when players join. This mod was created to solve this problem by blocking such network requests, improving game stability for players in affected regions.
A few months ago, I noticed that my Minecraft server was taking nearly 10 minutes to start each time. After investigating, I discovered that Quark was causing this issue. Upon searching the issue tracker, I found that the author of Quark refused to address this problem, which led me to develop this mod to resolve it.
What This Mod Does
- Quark: Blocks requests for contributor and supporter lists.
- Citadel: Blocks requests for the list of Patreon supporters. Now, the mod will use
assets/citadel/patreon.txtinstead. Additionally, the April Fools' event will never be triggered. Citadel#159 - Alex's Caves: Blocks requests for the latest mod conflict list. Instead, the mod will now use
assets/alexscaves/warning/mod_generation_conflicts.txtas the conflict list.
