TCPDelayMod
TCPDelayMod is a Forge client mod for Minecraft 1.8.9 that deliberately adds network delay to the connection, reversing an earlier network fix.
What it does
The mod adds a delay to outgoing network traffic so that the connection to a server responds more slowly. Its author describes it as a way to bring back the network behavior of an older Minecraft release, which some players prefer. The effect is a deliberate worsening of the connection, not a performance improvement.
Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it and players can join without installing anything. Files are published for Forge on 1.8.9 only, with the latest being version 1.0.0, released on 2024-07-13. The mod is released under the WTFPL and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.

What the author says
I'm a big fan of 1.7.10 and I think we should all go back to 1.7.10. TCPDelay purposefully adds delay by undoing the fix that was added in 1.8.1 and by prplz in his ever so famous 1.7 mod. Just as god intended.
