by ishland

With Raknetify installed on both sides, multiplayer traffic between a server and its clients travels over RakNet, a transport built for games with unreliable connections.

What it does

Raknetify is a Fabric and Quilt mod that also ships as a BungeeCord, Waterfall and Velocity plugin. Its purpose is to make multiplayer play more responsive when a client connection is lossy, slow or subject to rate limits. Traffic is carried over RakNet, which splits data across several channels that carry priorities, so that less urgent packets do not hold back gameplay packets.

The mod is listed under the Optimization category and supports cross-version connections on both the client side and the server side. Compatibility with MultiConnect is not established by the author. Files exist for 1.17 – 1.21.11, including snapshot builds, and the Fabric and Quilt files share the same release, 0.1.0+alpha.5.196 for 1.21.11, published on 2026-02-25 on the alpha channel.

Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is covered by a custom license that is not open source, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Reliable transport

    Packets travel over RakNet, which keeps delivery steadier when a connection drops or delays messages.

  2. Prioritized channels

    Several RakNet channels with priorities let time-sensitive gameplay data move ahead of bulk traffic.

  3. Lower latency

    The author describes higher responsiveness under rate-limited client connections as the goal of the transport.

  4. Cross-version connections

    Connections are handled on both the client side and the server side when a version bridge is installed.
