This mod accelerates the Minecraft Asset Loading system by caching all
of its content. This leads to a much faster game load. It does this by caching all of its content on first launch
and on next launch loading back that exact cache. The cache loading is hyper fast and scalable, utilizing your
entire system.
Important notes:
• The first time you launch DashLoader it will be significantly slower because it needs to
create a cache which contains all the assets Minecraft normally loads. This will also happen every time you change a
mod/resource pack if that configuration does not have an existing cache.
•
DashLoader has been known to be incompatible with a lot of mods. DashLoader 3.0 has massively improved compatibility
by not forcing mod developers to add explicit support to make their assets cachable. This means that DashLoader will
load assets normally for mod assets that cannot be cached. While this improves mod compatibility, it hurts speed as
the Minecraft loading system is quite slow.
• If you use DashLoader for developing
mods or creating resource packs, you can press f3 + t to recreate the cache to load your new assets in.
If you want to just show off the speed of DashLoader, you can press shift + f3 + t
YourKit
Makes amazing profilers for both Java and .NET.
We use their Java Profiler to understand where to optimize further and make DashLoader faster.

## Fallback system
The fallback system allows DashLoader to use the Minecraft model loading system to load assets that are not DashCache compatible. This allows mods to work with DashLoader, without adding explicit support which greatly improves compatibility.
## Rewrite
DashLoader has been rewritten.
### Core and Definitions
The codebase is now split with Core holding the version independent components and definition holding the Minecraft asset definitions to add DashLoader support to that Minecraft version. This greatly helps with us supporting multiple Minecraft versions.
### Hyphen
So we made the world fastest jvm serializer for Minecraft. This makes DashLoader faster and makes developing DashLoader way easier. Also it has fancy error messages.
## UX
### Caching screen
The caching screen has been redesigned to be more informative and nice looking.
It is also fully customizable in the config.
### Config
The config has been overhauled and is now way more powerful. Customize your screen or tune DashLoader to your liking.
### Profiling
The profiling system has been remade and is now cleaner and contains more statistics.
## A lot of fixes. Im not counting them.
## Mods that are now compatible
- BCLib
- Better End
- Botania
- Campanion
- CC: Restitched
- Connected Block Textures Fabric
- Conntected Textures Mod
- FerriteCore
- Hydrogen
- Industrial Revolution
- LambdaBetterGrass
- Pling
- Applied Energistics 2

### Codebase
Fully remade and is now split into 2 different parts for easy support of multiple minecraft versions.
### Serializer
We now use Hyphen which is a nicer and faster Serializer.
### API
A remade API which does a lot of things for you like ordering the export order.
### You asked for it.
- Fallback system. Now DashLoader wont blowup if a non supported model is found. This makes dashloader way more compatible.
### UX
- The Caching screen has been remade and now is very customisable. The Config is also hot reloadable in debug mode.
- Config is now way better and allows to disable the watermark with ease.
- A new and more accurate Profiling system for competing with your friends minecraft loading times.
### Cache Improvements
- Multithreads harder. A way better multithreading ratio. Now uses all of your threads fully to encode/decode the cache
- Encodes way faster because of Hyphen.
- Compression. This makes the cache up to 10x smaller.
### Fixes
- Fixed shader issues. End portal blocks were broken and this should hopefully fix some Iris incompatibilities.
- Fixed Resource Pack order not being concidered.
1.17 Shader cache
- The shaders in 1.17 are now cached
- Faster loading times
Resource and mod independant cache
