    I am living in Germany and want to play with my friends from Brazil, but when my friend tries to enter the server, she receives the message "Could not connect to server Internal Exception: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset" (we are using mods and I can enter the server but she can't). Does it have something to do with the region? What should I do?

    Tell you friend to make sure that they have EXACT same mods installed on both their PC and the server. It is not enough to simply have the same mods installed, they must also be installed in the exact same version. Likewise, the version of the mod loader (Fabric/Forge) must be identical.
