SafeJoin
SafeJoin is a simple yet effective mod that provides player protection from death when joining a server. Every Minecraft player is familiar with this scenario: you connect to a server, but due to loading time, your character remains vulnerable for some time. Players get caught off guard by mobs, fall into traps, or simply find themselves in unfortunate positions.
Conditional Protection for Painless Multiplayer
During the brief moment when the player's system hasn't fully established readiness:
- Prevents regular damage from mobs (attacks) and environmental hazards - falls, lava contact, effect-based damage
- Disables mob targeting behavior. While enemies may wander randomly nearby, your character won't be targeted for coordinated attacks
As soon as the player makes any active move - pressing movement keys, using items, or otherwise signaling the server about readiness - the protective mode automatically deactivates.
Server-Side Solution for User Control
An important feature of this protection system is that it functions exclusively server-side. This means all players on your server can benefit from this protection without requiring everyone to install the mod on their personal devices.
The mod's creation stems from common multiplayer scenarios where loading delays previously placed arriving players in disadvantageous positions against mobs or environmental hazards. Now players can join servers with confidence, knowing their connection process won't be artificially punished.
The mod works well with custom modpacks and server configurations, offering significant gameplay improvement with minimal technical requirements.
