Transfer
Play 0x81, server → client.
play · 0x81 · clientbound (server → client)
Tells the client to disconnect and connect to another server at the given host and port. The server sends it to move players between servers. The client reconnects with the handshake intent set to transfer, and cookies stored with StoreCookie are carried over.
Sent by the server, read by the client. Listen for it with client.on("Transfer", (data) => …) on the receiving side.
