Players get stuck with black screen with chunk caching

      The chunk caching system has allowed server admins to significantly cut back on chunk resends.

      Apparently since 1.18.30, switching dimensions quickly (for example because of transfer proxies) while sending a lot of chunk cache transactions gets the client stuck in this black screen for about a minute, before all the chunks load in.

      This issue is fairly hard to reproduce for players since it requires a server setup with chunk caching enabled. We have it running on production on play.nethergames.org.

      To reproduce it, you can join the server, then switch quickly between multiple lobbies using the teleporter item in the hotbar.
