+Subject: [PATCH] Cache DataFixerUpper Rewrite Rules on demand
+
+Mojang precaches every single potential rewrite rule that could ever
+exist on server startup. This includes rules from all the way back to versions from 6+ years ago.
+
+This is the source of why the server hogs every CPU core at 100% every start.
+
+For anyone who hard resets for updates or has force upgraded their entire world, this
+results in completely wasted cpu cycles.
+
+This massive CPU usage also delays server startup time.
+
+We improve this by making "min version to precache" that defaults to a future version
+so that no rewrite rules are precached.
+
+someone who expects to be converting a lot chunks could theoretically set
+-DPaper.minPrecachedDatafixVersion=<dataVersionConvertingFrom> as a startup
+parameter and only build from that point on.
+
+However this will likely never be needed as the server will still run
+the same cache logic on demand when it's actually needed. The only
+cost would be some delay on the FIRST chunk conversion, but paper already
+runs chunk conversions on another thread so this will likely never be
+a concern for TPS.
+
+This patch will significantly reduce CPU use on startup, reduce memory usage,
+and improve server startup time.
