Forward Forge Client Reset Packet Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Why do I crash when switching from a modded server to a vanilla server?
Your client still has mod data loaded that vanilla servers don't recognize. This mod sends a reset packet to clear that state, allowing you to connect without crashing.
Do I need to install this on the server side?
No, this is a client-side only mod. You only need to install it on your game client; servers don't need any changes.
What exactly is a reset packet?
A reset packet clears mod-related data from your client when you switch servers, essentially telling your game to forget about mods that the new server doesn't have.
Does this work with all proxy networks?
It works with most proxy setups, but compatibility depends on how the proxy handles client connections and mod data—some proxies may interfere with the reset process.
I'm still crashing between servers even with this mod installed. What should I check?
Verify the mod is actually loaded in your client, check that you're waiting for the reset packet to process before joining the new server, and ensure your other mods aren't conflicting with the reset.
Can I use this to switch between two modded servers with different mod lists?
Yes, the reset packet helps clear incompatible mod data when switching between modded servers with different configurations.
When exactly does the reset packet get sent?
The reset packet is sent when you disconnect from one server and connect to another, preparing your client to accept the new server's mod environment.
Will this mod affect my performance or connection speed?
No, this mod only handles data cleanup during server transitions and has negligible impact on performance or ping.
What happens if a server doesn't support the reset packet?
The mod will still attempt to clear your client state, but the server connection may still fail if it's incompatible with your loaded mods—in this case, you may need to restart your client.
Do I need to configure anything after installing this mod?
No, this mod works automatically once installed; it requires no configuration and activates whenever you switch servers.
