ServerAddressSpaceFix
ServerAddressSpaceFix stops the unknown host error that appears when a server address ends with a space.
What it does
The mod targets the unknown host error that appears when a server address is added in the multiplayer menu, or when a player connects directly, and the address carries a trailing space. It runs on Fabric and requires Fabric API. Only the client needs it, so servers do not have to install anything.
The mod is configured through a JSON5 file in the game's config folder. With version isolation enabled, the file sits inside the version's own folder. Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are optional companions. Files cover 1.20 – 26.3 and the latest build, 0.2.5, targets 26.3.
Key features
Trailing space fix
Addresses with a space at the end connect without the unknown host error, in both the add-server flow and direct connect.
Editable config file
Settings live in ServerAddressSpaceFix.json5, with comments describing each property and its default value.
Live config edits
The configuration file can be edited while the game is running, using any plain text editor.
