ServerlistBufferCrashFixer
by HowardZHY
ServerlistBufferCrashFixer is a Forge client mod that patches two crashes in the multiplayer server list.
What it does
The mod is a fork of ServerlistBufferFixer and addresses two crashes that appear in the server list screen. Players reported the crashes most often on servers listed through ViaForge. Only the client needs the mod; servers run without it. Builds exist for 1.8.8 and 1.8.9, with 1.1.0 for 1.8.9 as the latest file, released on 2025-04-11 under a custom license that is not open source.
Key features
Buffer crash patch
Patches the buffer handling in the server list so the screen no longer crashes when it reads a server entry.
Two crash paths covered
Targets two separate crash paths that occur while the multiplayer server list is being loaded.
Malformed entry handling
Guards the server list entries that come through ViaForge, where the crashes were reported most often.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
How it compares
ServerlistBufferFixer is the original mod this one forks, released under The Unlicense and running on the client for 1.8.9. Phosphor Crash Fix is a server-side only Forge mod for 1.12.2 under a custom license, so it does not fix the client-side server list.
