Having resource packs in the development_resource_packs folder dramatically increases the amount of time the game takes to reach the main menu. My computer has all its storage on NVMe SSDs, so the hardware is not the issue.
Here are some comparisons I timed of using packs in the development_resource_packs folder:
Loading Time | Number of Packs in Folder | Total Size of Packs in Folder | Total Number of Files in Folder |
|---|---|---|---|
20.74 seconds | 0 | 0 MB | 0 |
21.46 seconds | 1 | 1.29 MB | 361 |
46.86 seconds | 2 | 50.3 MB | 7590 |
50.62 seconds | 3 | 224 MB | 8335 |
80.99 seconds | 4 | 453 MB | 16921 |
The loading time seems most correlated with the Total Number of Files in Folder:
Methodology:
Configure development_resource_packs folder as specified in the table above.
Restart computer.
Log in.
Select Minecraft Bedrock icon and start a timer. The above tests were performed on 1.21.21.
Once the start screen is visible, stop the timer.
Assume a ±1 second margin of error as I was not perfect on the timer.
This bug may also affect the development_behavior_packs folder, but it was not tested.
Expected Result
The development_resource_packs folder has little-to-no bearing on the time Minecraft takes to load the main menu.
Observed Result
The development_resource_packs folder dramatically impacts the time Minecraft takes to load the main menu.
