About this Mod
Graceful Packets
Description
A Fabric mod that prevents the client from disconnecting when it fails to decode a packet (common with ViaVersion bugs) from the server or encounters registry errors.
Instead of disconnecting the entire client when a packet cannot be decoded, the mod simply ignores the problematic packet after logging the error to console, and continues running.
You can optionally also log it to chat, and change settings through the Mod Menu.
Configuration
Under ./config/graceful-packets.conf
suppress_errors=true
log_to_chat=false
- suppress_errors: When set to
true(default), the mod will suppress packet decode and registry errors instead of disconnecting. Set tofalseto disable the mod. - log_to_chat: When set to
true, suppressed errors will also be displayed in the in-game chat. Default isfalse.
