Fine by me, but the progress bar usually blocks the UI anyway, only updating itself. Do we want it to drive the world instead? That way we can keep working on other things, but I'm guessing e.g. MC loading will be much slower...
progress bar doesn't blocks anything, it is a code which using it blocks everything. You can try an experiment - remove progress bar, and still will be blocked, but this time without a clue what's going on :) Unless loading is atomic, i would not recommend allow keep working. However, i don't see a compelling reason why MC cannot load stuff in background : User can do silly things.. but it can be any other process with higher priority.. and you cannot predict what that process will do anyways. I remember i was saying this before: it is better to fix MC, if we find issues due to change. Like that it will be more fail proof plus we will no longer need to block user. Needless to say that i hate this mode when everything is disabled.
