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 /neoboxreconnect after successful login
Optionally add a delay (e.g. 2–5 seconds)

This avoids redirecting too early before the client is fully ready.
