# 🚀 SmoothJoin

**Say goodbye to login lag spikes!

## Description

### ❓ The Problem
Does your game freeze or lag heavily when you join a server or load a single-player world?
This happens because Minecraft tries to load and render all chunks around you at once. For lower-end PCs or heavy modpacks, this causes a massive CPU spike, freezing your screen for seconds.

### ✅ The Solution
**SmoothJoin** solves this by temporarily lowering your render distance to the minimum (1 chunk) **before** the world finishes loading. Once you are safely in the game, it waits for a few seconds and then **progressively restores** your render distance to your original setting.

### ✨ Features
* **Smart Init:** Detects the connection start and lowers load immediately.
* **Lag-Free Entry:** Drastically reduces the "Building Terrain" load time.
* **Progressive Restoration:** Slowly increases view distance (e.g., 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4) to prevent secondary lag spikes.
* **Safety Lock:** Automatically restores your settings if you disconnect or crash during the process.
* **Client-Side Only:** You don't need to install this on the server.

### ⚙️ How it works
1. **Connect:** You join a server. Mod sets render distance to **1**.
2. **Wait:** Game loads quickly. Mod waits for ~20 seconds (buffer time).
3. **Restore:** Mod increases render distance by **1 chunks every second**.
4. **Done:** You enjoy a smooth view without freezing!
