Deplatformed

So I finally put my Minecraft modpack up on Curseforge.

It’s in experimental mode right now while I update the page to make it look a bit more substantial and track down a problem with long load times.

And I just tracked down the problem.

Vanilla Backport, which conveniently bundles together backports of feature releases since 1.20.1 (in this case, since it’s a 1.20.1 mod), uses a library mod called Platform.

Platform, according to the load time profiler mod I’m using, takes almost twelve minutes to load.

All the other 215 mods combined? Six minutes.

That’s on my older (Zen 3) laptop running in silent (low power) mode, so a good computer will handle it in half the time, but swapping that one mod out for five separate backport mods reduced the load time from just under twelve minutes to just over six.

And now I need to test again.

Update: With the help of the profiler - and a quick reboot - I’ve got the Reload Manager stage of the startup down from ten minutes to two. Also double-checked and the problem is definitely the Platform mod, so that gets kicked to the curb.

Update Two: Two minutes from clicking the button to being ready to play - on a slow laptop. Good enough.
