Graceful Packets

by TreeOfSelf

Graceful Packets keeps a Fabric client connected when a server sends a packet it cannot decode because of registry errors.

FabricClient-side onlyCC0 1.0 UniversalOpen source1.21.9 – 26.2

What it does

When a server sends a packet the client cannot decode, the mod suppresses the decode error and keeps the connection open instead of disconnecting. Registry mismatches that would normally end the session are logged quietly, and a configuration option can switch the mod off entirely. Only the client needs it, so servers run without any change.

Graceful Packets is a Fabric mod for 1.21.9 – 26.2, published under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and open source, with source code and an issue tracker linked from its page.

Key features

  1. Suppressed decode errors

    Packet decode failures caused by registry differences are handled without ending the session.

  2. Default on

    The suppression is enabled by default and can be set to false to restore normal disconnect behavior.

  3. In-game error log

    An option lets suppressed errors appear in the in-game chat so players can see what was skipped.
