Server Loading Screen will Appear

You will join the server, and you will see a loading screen, similar to the screenshot below. The client will begin downloading a copy of the world's information.

The world download process generally takes longer the first time you join a server, and becomes quicker when rejoining a server. The estimated time shown can decrease dramatically during the loading time, based on the download progress. Please wait for the download to finish, and you will appear in the game!
