About this Mod

This server-side coremod fixes the disconnect.overflow error that players might get on some 1.4.7 servers, most often caused by having a large amount of machines in one location.

The cause of this problem is a check in Minecraft's TcpConnection.java#processReadPackets() method where the server checks the size of the send queue for the user. If the queue is larger than 2MB, the server will drop the player's connection. If a player joins a server in an area with a large number of machines, the send queue can easily exceed the 2MB limit, causing them to be disconnected.

This mod simply patches the server to increase the maximum queue size to 20MB.

Frequently Asked Questions

BufferFix server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.4.7). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is BufferFix compatible with forge?

BufferFix officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.4.7. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with BufferFix – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if BufferFix consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
