NoJeb

A project that aims at optimizing workspace Minecraft startup speed, to achieve a faster edit-compile-test cycle.

It is build in frustration that Minecraft startup takes up to ~40secs in an up-to-date computer, which greatly impairs modder's productivity.

The mod selectively disables certain feature(s) that are not useful during development, including:

• Sounds
• Item/Block Models
• Yggdrasil Authentication Service
