Kick exploits are exploits in the Java Edition protocol implementation or game logic implementation that can be abused to disconnect a client from the server.

Server-side

Server-side kicks force the server to disconnect a client.

Oversized packets

Oversized packets are achieved by making the server generate a packet that is too large for it to encode, resulting in the server disconnecting the player.

Such exploits have since been largely patched by PaperMixins[1].

ViaVersion kick exploits

ViaVersion kick exploits are occasionally the result of ViaVersion bugs, but are usually caused by oversized packet kicks.

Clientside

Client-side exploits cause unpatched clients to disconnect from the server.
