Shoo
by Yellowy
Shoo is a Fabric management mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that lets a server send players to other servers through packets.
What it does
Shoo backports the ability to transfer a player to another server, using the packet mechanism that newer Minecraft versions provide, so a 1.20.1 server can hand players off to a destination without the player reconnecting by hand. Only the 1.20.1 Fabric build is published, at version 0.0.1, released on 2026-01-10 on the beta channel. Client and server both run it, so the server and every player need the mod installed.
Key features
Player handoff
Moves a player to another server by packet, so the transfer is triggered by the server instead of a manual reconnect.
Packet-driven transfer
The server sends the transfer request to the client, which then connects to the destination without extra steps from the player.

This mod backports the functionality to send players to different servers via packets, alongside that the ip is encrypted using public keys sent by the client so that players can't send arbatrary packets to others to send them away.
