IPConnection
by zxNoragami
IPConnection is a client-side Fabric mod that lets a player switch from one server to another through local commands, without sending a command to the current server.
What it does
The mod takes over the client's connection logic, so a player can leave the current server and join a different address in one step. Disconnecting from the active world happens cleanly before the new connection opens, and automatic reconnection is handled by the client rather than by any server-side command. Because nothing is sent to the server being left, switching does not produce network errors, desynchronization or forced game closures.
The author describes the mod for players who often move between servers, and for developers, testers and operators of multi-instance networks who need precise control over how a connection flows through its screens and states. Its focus is stability and clean transitions, and it is described as lightweight and performance-friendly. The mod runs with Fabric on modern Minecraft versions and has no counterpart on the server side.
The current release is 1.0.0 for 1.21.4, published on 2026-02-05, the same day the project was first released. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the project has a source repository, an issue tracker and a wiki.
