Description
NeoBoxReconnect (Forge 1.20.1)
NeoBoxReconnect is a lightweight client + server mod that lets a Forge server trigger a seamless reconnect to another server address.
This is especially useful for networks that run a lobby server and want to send players to a main server after login, tutorials, or queue checks — typically behind Velocity or similar proxies.
How it works
-
The server sends a small network packet to the client containing a target host/port.
-
The client receives it and starts Minecraft’s normal connection flow to the target server.
Features
-
/neoboxreconnect command (run by the player) to reconnect to a configured default target
-
Optional host/port arguments:
/neoboxreconnect <host> <port> -
Configurable default target host/port
-
Optional automatic redirect after join (recommended OFF for Auth plugins)
Recommended setup (Auth / Lobby networks)
For setups using authentication plugins/mods (e.g. AuthMe), the safest approach is:
-
Keep auto redirect disabled
-
Trigger
/neoboxreconnectafter successful login -
Optionally add a delay (e.g. 2–5 seconds)
This avoids redirecting too early before the client is fully ready.
